CHAP.  I. 

1    The  creation  of  hewven  and  earth,   26 
and  (if  man  in  the  image  of  God,  (Jfc. 

IN  the   beginning   a  God  created  the 
'>  heaven  and  the  earth. 

2  And  the  earth  was  without  form,  and 
void;  and  darkness  was  upon  the  face 
of  the  deep :  and  the  '^  Spirit  of  God 
moved  upon  l  lie  face  of  the  waters. 

3  And  <i  God  said,  Let  there  be  light: 
and  there  was  light. 

4  And  God  saw  the  light,  that  it  ivas 
good  :  and  God  f  divided  the  light  from 
the  darkness. 

5  And  God  called  the  light  Day,  and 
the  darkness  he  called  Night-  and  the  f 
evening  and  the  momir.g  were  the  first 
day. 

6  •[  And  God  said,  «  Let  there  be  f  a 
firmament  in  the  midst  of  the  waters ;  and 
let  it  divide  the  waters  from  the  waters. 

7  And  God  made  the  firmament,  and 
divitied  the  waters  which  v:ere  under  the 
firmament  from  the  waters  which  were 
above  the  finmament :  and  it  was  so. 

8  And  God  called  the  firmament  Hea- 
ven :  and  the  evening  and  tlie  morning 
were  the  second  day. 

9  11  And  God  said,  Let  the  waters  un- 
der the  heaven  be  gathered  together  unto 
fone  place,  and  let  the  dry  land  appear: 

:  nd  it  was  so. 

10  And  God  called  the  e  dry  land 
Earth,  and  the  gathering  together  of  the 
waters  called  he  Seas :  '^d  God  saw  that 
it  was  good. 

11  And  God  said.  Let  the  earth f  bring 
forth  grass,  the  herb  yielding  seed,  and 
tl'.e  fruit-tree  yielding  fruit  after  his  kind, 
whose  seed  is  in  itself,  upon  the  earth : 
and  it  was  so. 

12  And  the  earth  brought  forth  grass, 
and  lierb  yielding  seed  after  his  *>  kind, 
and  the  tree  yielding  fruit,  u  hose  seed 
v)ns  in  itself,  after  his  kind:  and  God  saw 
that  it  Hi^as  good. 

13  And  the  evening  and  the  morning 
were  the  third  day. 

1 4  ^  And  God  said,  Let  there  be  ■  lights 
in  the  tirmament  of  tlie  heaven,  to  di- 
vide f  tlie  day  from  the  night;  and  let 
them  be  for  sig-ns,  and  foivseasons,  and 
ior  days,  and  years 

15  And  let  them  be  for  lights  in  the 
f  rmament  of  the  heaven,  to  give  light 
upon  the  earth  ;  anc|^t  was  so. 

16  And  God  ma'.ieTwo  great  lights ;  tlit 
greater  lii;Kt  to  t  '"tile  the  day,  and  th- 
k-iser  liglit  to  rule  the  night:  he  niaat 
the  stars  also. 


17  And  God  ^  set  them  in  the  firma-    Before 
ment  of  the  heaven,  to  Erive  light  upon  CHRIST 
the  earth,  ^  '     J°^ 

18  And  to  I  rule  over  the  day,  and  over  ^^  j^i, 
the  night,  and  to  divide  the  light  from  the  38. 12. 
darkness  :  and  God  saw  that  it  vcos  good.  J"^-  ^-  ^' 

19  And  the  evening  and  the  morning  31, 35, 
were  the  fourth  day. 

20  And  God  said.  Let  the  waters  bring 
forth  abundantly  the  movirig  creature  that 
iiath  t  life,  and  fowl  that  may  fly  abo  e  f  jieb. 
the  earth  in  the  openfirmament  of  heaven,  soul, 

21  And  God  created  great  whales,  and  ^'^^^ 
every  living  creature  that  moveth,  w  hich 

the  waters  brought  forth  abundantly  after 
their  kind,  and  every  winged  fowl  after 
his  kind :  and  God  saw  that  it  U'a*  good. 

22  And  God  "  blessed  them,  saying,  «chap. 
Be  fruitful,  and  multiply,  and  fill  the  wa-  8. 17. 
ters  in  the  seas,  and  let  fowl  multiply  in  fgV^"' 
the  earth.  '        prove'rfcs 

23  And  the  evening  and  the  morning  lo-  22. 
were  the  f.ftli  day. 

24 II  And  God  said.  Let  the  earth  bring 
fortli  the  Uving  creature  after  his  kind, 
cattle  and  creeping  tiling,  and  beast  of 
the  earth  after  liis  kind:  and  it  was  so. 

25  And  God  made  the  beast  of  the  earth 
after  his  kind,  and  cattle  after  their  kind, 
and  every  thing  that  creepeth  upon  the 
earth  after  liis  kind :  and  God  saw  that 
it  Huas  good. 

26 1|  And  God  said,  n  Let  us  make  man  ^  j  j^j,^

2  And  on  the  seventh  day  God  ended 
his  work  whicii  he  had  made ;  and  he 
•rested  on  tiie  seventh  day  from  all  his 
work  which  he  liad  made. 

3  And  God  '^  blessed  the  seventh  day, 
and  sanctihed  it :  because  that  in  it  l;e 
liad  rested  from  all  his  work,  which  God 
f  creaio  I  and  made. 

4  "ji  These  are  tlie  '^  generations  of  the 
lieavens.and  of  the  eartli,  when  they  were

and  there  ivus  not  a  man  to  till  the  gi'ound. 

6  But  tliere  went  up  a  mist  from  the 
earth,  and  watered  the  whole  face  of  the 
groand. 

7  And  the  Lord  God  ?  formed  man  r/

into  his  nostrils  the  breath  off  life;  and 
man  became  a  living  soul. 

8  1;  .'\.ih1  the  Lord  God  planted  a  '  gar-

of  life  also  in  the  midst  of  the  garden,  and 
the  tree  of  knou  ledge  of  good  and  evil.

3  And  in  -f-  process  of  time  it  came  to 
pass,  that  Cain  brought  of  the  fruit  ff  the 
gi'ound  an  offering  unto  the  Lokd  : 

4  And  Abel,  he  also  brought  of  the  ^ 
firstlings  of  his  flock,  and  of  the  <  fat 
thereof  And  the  Lord  had  ^  respect 
unto  Abel,  and  to  his  offering: 

5  But  unto  Cain  and  to  his  offering  he 
had  not  respect.  And  Cain  was  verj'  « 
wroth,  and  his  countenance  fell. 

6  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Cain,  Why 
art  thou  wroth  ?  and  why  is  thy  counte- 
nance fallen  ? 

7  If  thou  f  doest  well,  shalt  thou  not  |J  be 
accepted  ?  and  if  thou  doest  not  well,  sin 
lieth  at  the  door.  Ami  unto  thee  shall  be 
his  f  desire,  and  thou  shalt  rule  over  him. 

8  ^  And  Cain  h  talked  with  Abel  his 
brother  :  and  it  came  to  pass,  when  they 
were  in  the  field,  that  Cain  rose  up  against 
Abel  his  brother,  and  '  slew  him. 

9^f  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Cain,  ^ 
Where  is  Abel  thy  brother  ?  And  he  said, ' 
I  know  not :  Am  I  my  brother's  keeper  ? 

10  And  he  said.  What  hast  thou  done  ? 
the  voice  of  thy  brother's  blood  ^  crieth 
unto  me  from  the  ground. 

11  And  now  art  thou  cursed  from  the 
earth,  which  hath  opened  her  mouth  to 
receive  thy  brother's  blood  from  thy 
hand. 

12  When  thou  tillest  the  ground,  it 
shall  not  henceforth  yield  unto  tlice  her 
strength.  »  A  fugitive  and  a  vagabond 
shalt  thou  be  in  the  earth. 

13  And  Cain  said  unto  the  Lord,  |jMy 
punishment  is  greater  than  I  can  bear. 

14  Behold,  thou  hast  driven  me  out  this 
day  from  the  °  face  of  the  eartii ;  and  from 
thy  f:ice  shall  I  be  hid  ;  and  I  shall !  e  a 
fugitive  and  a  vagabond  in  the  earth  ;  and 
it  shall  come  to  pass,  that  every  one  that 
tindeth  me  shall  p  sky  me. 

15  And  the  Lord  saidunto  him.  There- 
fore whosoever  slayeth  Cain,  vengeance 
shall  be  taken  on  him  seven-fold.  And  the 
Lord  set  i  a  mai'k  upon  Cain,  lest  any 
finding  him  should  kill  him. 

16  ^y  And  Cain  went  out  ^  from  the  pre- 
sence of  the  Lord,  and  dwelt  in  the  land 
of  IJ  Nod,  on  the  east  of  Eden. 

17  And  Cain  knew  his  wife  ;  and  she 
conceived  and  bare  Enoch  :  and  he  builri-

shall  be  seen  in  the  cloud :

saw  the  nakedness  of  his  father,  and  ' 
told  his  two  brethren  without.

the  nakedness  of  their  father ;  and  their

AFTER  these  things  the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  unto  Abram  ^  in  a\'isio'i, 
saxing,  ^  Fear  not,  Abram  :  I  am  thy  '^ 
shield,  and  thy  exceeding  ^  great  re- 
ward. 

2  And  Abram  said,  Lord  God.  what 
wilt  thou  give  me,  ■=  seeing  I  go  child- 
less, and  thf  steward  of  my  house  is  this 
Eliezer  of  Damascus  ? 

3  And  Abram  said,  Behold,  to  me 
thou  hast  given  no  seed  :  and,  lo,  *  one 
born  in  my  house  is  mine  heir. 

4  And,  behold,  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  him,  saying.  This  shall  not 
be  thine  heir  ;  but  he  that  shall  com.e 
forth  out  of  thine  own  ?  bowels  shall  be 
th:nt-  heir. 

5  And  he  brought  him  forth  abroad, 
and  said.  Look  now  toward  heaven,  and 
tell  tiie  '>  stars,  if  tiiou  be  able  to  num- 
ber them.  And  he  said  unto  him.  So 
shall  thv  seed  be. 

6  And  he  ■  believed  ^  in  the  Lord  ; 
and  '  he  counted  it  to  him  for  righteous- 
ness. 

7  ^  And  i'e  said  unto  him,  I  avi  the 
Lord  that  brought  thee  out  of  '»  Ur 
of  the  Chaldees,  to  give  thee  this  land 
to  inherit  it. 

8  And  he  said,  Lord  God,  n  where- 
by shall  I  know  that  I  shall  inherit  it  ? 

9  And  he  said  unto  him,  °  Take  me 
an  heifer  of  three  years  old,  and  a  she- 
Lev!  T.  2."  g<'at  of  three  years  old,  and  a  ram  of 

three  years  old,  and  a  lurlle-dove,  and 
a  young  pigeon. 

10  And  he  took  unto  him  all  these, 
and  p  iliv.ded  tliem  in  the  midst,  and 
laul  e;ich  piece  one  against  another;  but 
the  birds  divided  he  not. 

11  And  when  the  1  fowls  came  do.^n 
upon  the  carcasses,  Abram  drove  them 
away. 

12  And  «  hen  the  sun  was  going  down, 
'  a  dee()  sleep  fell  upon  Abram;  and,  lo, 
a  horror  of  great  '  darkness  fell  upon 
liiiT  . 

13  And  he  said  unto  Abram,  Know 
of  a  su.ety  that   thy  seed  shall  be  a 

«ch.  17  g.s' ranger  in  a  land  that  is  ^  not  theirs, 

Ps.  105.     and  shall  serve   them  ;   and  they   shall 

afd  c   them  a  r  ,iir  h  ndred  years. 

14  And  also  that  na'/mn,  uhiim  they 
shall  serve,  will  ^  i  judge  ;  and  after- 
ward siiall  they  come  out  with  y  great 
substance. 

15  And  thou  shalt  go  to  ^  thy  fathers 
in  peace ;  thou  shalt  be  buried  in  a  good 
old  ai^e. 

16  But  in  the  fourth  generation  they 
shall  come  hither  again  :  for  the  iniquity 
of  he  Amorites  is  not  ayet  fill.

5  And  I  will  fetch  a  morsel  of  g  bread, 
and  h  comfort  ye  your  hearts  ;  after  that 
yuu  shall  pass  on :  for  '  therefore  are  ye 
come  to  your  servant.  And  they  said,  So 
do  as  thou  hast  said. 

6  And  Abraham  hastened  into  the  tent 
unto  Sarah,  and  said.  Make  ready  quick- 
ly k  three  measuresof 'fine  meal,  knead 
it,  and  make  cakes  upon  the  hearth. 

7  And  Abraham  ran  unto  the  herd, 
and  fetched  a  calf 'n  tender  and  good,  and 
gave  it  unto  a  young  man ;  and  he  hasted 
to  dress  it. 

8  And  he  took  butter  and  milk,  and 
the  calf  which  he  had  dressed,  and  set /r 
before  them  ;  and  he  "  stood  by  them 
under  the  tree,  and  they  did  o  eat. 

9  ^  And  they  said  unto  him.  Where 
is  Sarah  thy  wife  ?  And  he  said.  Behold, 
in  the  p  tent. 

10  And  he  said,  I  will  certainly  q  re- 
turn unto  thee  according  to  the  time  of 
life ;  and,  lo,  Sarah  thy  wife  shall  have 
SI  son.  And  Sarah  heard  it  in  the  tent- 
door,  which  was  behind  him. 

11  Now  Abraham  and  Sarah  loere 
old,  and  ^  well  stricken  in  age ;  and  it 
ceased  to  be  with  Sarah  after  the  «  man- 
ner of  women. 

12  Therefore  Sarah  t  lauglied  within 
herself,  saying.  After  I  am  waxed  old 
shall  I  have  pleasure,  "  my  lord  being 
old  also  ? 

13  And  the  Lorb  said  unto  Abraham, 
X  Wherefore  did  Sarah  laugh,  saying, 
Shall  I  of  a  surety  bear  a  child,  which 
am  old  ] 

14  Is  any  thing  y  too  hard  for  the 
Lord  ?  At  the  time  appointed  '^  I  will 
return  unto  thee,  according  to  the  time 
of  life,  and  Sarah  shall  have  a  son. 

15  Then  Sarah  »  denied,  saying,  I 
laughed  not ;  for  she  was  afraid.  And 
he  said.  Nay  ;  but  thou  didst  laugh. 

16  And  the  men  rose  up  from  thence, 
and  looked  toward  Sodom  :  and  Abra- 
ham went  with  them  b  to  bring  them 
on  the  way. 

17  H  And  the  Lord  said.  Shall  I  hide 
from  Abraham  that  tiling  which  <:  I  do  ; 

18  Seeing  that  Abraham  shall  surely 
become  a  great  and  mighty  nation,  and 
all  the  nations  of  the  eartli  shall  be  bless- 
ed d  in  him  ? 

19  For  e  I  know  iiim,  that  he  will 
'"command  his  children  and  his  house 
hold  after  him,  and  they  shall  keep  tlie 

•  way  of  the  Lord,  to  do  justice  and 
judgment;  that  the  Lord  may  bring  up- 
on Abraham  that  wliich  he  hath  spoken 
of  him. 

20  And  the  Lord  said,  Because  the 
E  cry  of  Sodom  and  Gomorrah  is  great, 
and  because  their  sin  is  very  grievous ; 

21  I  ii  will  go  down  now,  and  see 
whether  they  liuve  done  altogether  ac- 
cording to  the  cry  of  it,  wiiich  is  come 
unto  me  ;  and  if  not,  I  will  *  know. 


22  And  the  men  turned  their  faces  from    Before 
thence,  and  went  toward  Sodom  :   but  ''^g'^g^  '^ 
Abraham  k  stood  yel  btfore  the  Lord.    (^^,-vO

5  And  k  they  called  unto  Lot,  and

6  And  Lot  went  out  at  t.he  door  unto 
them,  and  shut  the  door  after  him, 

7  And  said,  I  pray  you,  breihren,  do 
not  so  wickedly. 

8  Behold  now,  I  have  two  daughters 
which  have  not  known  man ;  let  me,  I 
pray  you,  ■»  bring  them  out  unto  you, 
and  do  ye  to  them  as  is  good  in  your

for  therefore  came  they  under  the  ■>  sha- 
dow of  my  roof. 

9  And  iiiey  said,  <>  Stand  back.  And 
they  said  again.  This  one  fell ovj  came

thee  than  with  them.  And  tliey  pressed

and  pulled  Lot  into  the  house  to  tliem, 
and  shut  to  the  door. 

1 1  And  they  smote  the  men  that  were 
at  the  door  of  the  house  with  f  blind- 
ness, both  small  and  great ;  so  that  they 
wearied  themselves  to  Hnd  the  door. 

12  1^  And  the  men  said  unto  Lot, 
Hast  ihou  here  any  besides?  son-in-law, 
and  thy  sons,  and  thy  daughters,  and 

1-  whatsoever  thou  iiast  in  the  city,  ♦  bring

Lord  haih  sent  us  to  destroy  it. 

14  And  Lot  went  out,  and  spake  unto 
his  sons-in-law,  which  ^  married  his 
daughters,  and  said.  Up,  ^  get  ye  out  of 
this  place;  for  tlie  Lord  will  destroy 
this  city.  But  lie  seemed  as  one  that 
y  mocKcd  unto  his  sons-in-law. 

15  %  And  when  the  morning  arose, 
then  the  angels  hastened  Lot,  saying, 
Arise,  take  thy  wife,  and  thy  two  daugh- 
ters, which  are  here  ;  lest  thou  be  con- 
sumed ■^  in  the  iniquity  of  the  city. 

16  And  wliile  he  ^  lingered,  'he  men 
laid  b  hold  upon  his  hand,  and  upon  the 
hand  of  ins  wife,  and  upon  the  hand  of 
his  two  daughters  ;  the  Lord  being 
'  meicifid  unto  him;  and  they  brought 
him  forth,  and  set  him  without  the 
city.

Abraham  is  again  blessed.  CHAP.  XXIII. 

Before        11  And  the  '  angel  of  the  Lord  cal- 
*-"^2^^  led  unto  him  '  out  of  heaven,  and  said, 

Abraham,    Abraham  !    And  he   said. 

Here  am  I. 

12  And  he  said,  f  Lay  not  thine  h.and 
upon  the  lad,  neither  do  thou  any  thing 
UMto  him  :  for  now  «■  I  know  that  thou 
x  fearest  God,  seeing  thou  hast  not 
withheldthy  son,  thine  only  son,  from  me. 

13  And  Abr;iham  Ufted  up  his  eyes, 
and  looked,  and,  iiehold,  y  behind  hi^n  ^ 
a  ram  caught  in  =  a  tdicket  by  his  homs  ; 
and  Abraham  went  and  took  the  ram, 
and  offered  liim  up  for  a  burnt-otier- 
ing,  in  tl.e  stead  of  his  son. 

14  And  Abraham  called  the  name  of 

IThatis,  th.  t  place  ||  Jehovali-jireh  :  as  it  is  said 

^hel^ord  f^  this  da\,  In  the  mount  of  the  Lord  bit 
'mill  tee,     ,    ,,  ,       •  ' 

shall  be  seen. 

15  «j  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  cal- 
led unto  Abraliam  out  of  heaven  the  se- 
cond time, 

16  And  said,  "=  By  myself  have  I 
sworn,  saith  the  Lord,  '^  for  because 
thou  hast  done  this  thing,  and  hast  not 
withheldthy  son,  thine  nx\\\  son  : 

17  That  in  blessing  I  will  bless  tht^e, 
and  in  multiplying  I  will  multiply  «  thy 
seed  as  the  .tars  of  the  heaven,  and  as 
the  sand  which  is  upon  the  sea-shore; 
and  thy  seed  shall  f  possess  the  gate  of 
his  enemies  : 

18  And  in  R  thy  seed  shall  all  the  na- 
tions  of  the  earth  be  blessed  ;  because 
thou  hast  obeyed  my  voice. 

19  So  Abraham  returned  unto  his 
young  men  ;  and  they  rose  up,  and  went 
together  to  Beer-sheba  ;  and  Abraham 
dwelt  at  Beer-sheba. 

20  ^[  And  it  came  to  pass  after  these 
things,  that  it  was  told  Abraham,  sav- 
ing. Behold,  Milcah,  she  hath  also  borne

Abraham's  brother.

Lahaitt  and  sheweth  his  message :  50  he 
obtaineth  Rebekah,  &c. 

AND  Abraham  was  old,  and  f  well 
stricken  in  age:  and  the  Lord  »  had 
blessed  Abraham  in  all  things. 

2  And  Abraham  said  unto  his  •>  eld- 
est sen-ant  of  his  house,  that  ruled  over 
all  that  he  had,  Put,  I  pray  thee,  thy 
hand  ■:  under  my  thigh  ; 

3  And  I  will  make  thee  ^  swear  «  by 
the  Lord,  the  God  of  heaven,  and  the 
God  of  the  eartii,  tliat  thou  shalt  not  take 
a  wife  unto  my  son  of  tlie  f  daughters 
of  the  Canaajiites  j  among  whom  I 
dwell : 

4  But  thou  shalt  go  unto  t  my  coun- 
try, and  to  my  kindred,  and  take  a  wife 
unto  my  son  Isaac. 

5  And  the  servant  said  unto  iiim,  '' 
Perad venture  the  woman  will  not  be  wil- 
ling to  follow  me  unto  this  land  :  must 
I  needs  bring  thy  son  again  unto  tiie 
land  from  whence  thou  earnest  ? 

6  And  Abraham  said  unto  him.  Be- 
ware thou,  that  thou  bi-ing  not  my  son 
'  thither  again. 

7  The  Lord  God  of  heaven,  which  k 
took  me  from  my  father's  house,  and 
from  the  land  of  my  kindred,  and  which 
spake  unto  me,  and  ihatsware  unto  me, 
saying,  Unto  thy  seed  will  I  give  tliis 
land  ;'  he  shall  send  '  his  angel  before 
thee^  and  thou  shalt  take  a  wife  unto  my 
son  from  thence. 

8  And  if  the  woman  will  not  be  wil- 
ling  to  follow  thee,  then  thou  shalt  be  " 
clear  from  this  my  oath  :  only  bring  not 
mv  son  I  hither  again. 

9  And  the  st- rvant  put  his  iiand  under 
the  thigh  of  Abraham  his  master,  and 
sware  to  iiim  concerning  that  matter. 

10  ii  And  the  servant  took  ten  camels, 
of  the  camels  of  his  master,  and  depart- 
ed ;  (fi)r  all  the  goods  >A  liis  master  'uere 
in  his  hands;)  and  he  arose,  and  went  to 
Mesopoiamia,  unto  the  cityof  Nahor. 

11  And  he  made  liis  camels  "to  kneel 
down  without  the  city  by  a  well  of  w. iter, 
at  the  lime  of  the  evening,  even  the  time 
that  w'.nien  go  out  to  draw  v;ater. 

12  II  And  he  said,  O  Lord  "  G<id  of 
my  master  Ahraham,  I  pray  thee,  p 
send  me  good  speed  this  day,  and  sliew 
kindness  unto  my  master  Abraliam. 

13  Beliold,  I  1  st;ind  here  i;y  the  well 
of  water;  aiid  the  daughters  of  the  men 
of  the  city  come  out  t'l  draw  water : 

14  And  '  let  it  come  to  pass,  that  the 
danisel  to  whom  I  sh.i'.l  suy,  Let  down 
thy  pitcher,  I  pray  lliee, that  I  ma\  drink; 
and  she  shall  say.  Drink  ;  and  1  will  give 
thy  camels  dunk  aiso  :  let  the  same  he 
she  that  th'."i  ha->t  appointed  for  th>  ser- 
vant Isaac;  and  thereby  shall  I  know 
tliat  thou  hast  shewed  kindiiess  unto 
my  master. 


15  ^  And  it  came  lo  pass, »  before  he 
had  done  speaking,  that,  behold,  Rebek- 
ah came  out,  who  was  bom  to  Bethuel, 
son  of  Milcah,  the  wife  of  Nahor,  Abra- 
ham's brother,  with  her  « pitcher  opon 
her  shoulder. 

16  And  the  damsel  t  was  very  fair  to 
look  upon,  a  virgin  ;  neither  had  any  man 
"known  her:  and  she  went  down  to  the 
w  ell,  and  tilled  her  pitcher.aiid  came  up. 

17  And  the  servant  ran  to  meet  her, 
and  said,  Let  me,  I  pray  thee,  drink  a 
httle  water  of  thy  pitcher. 

18  And  she  said,  Drink,  my  lord  :  and 
she  hasted,  and  let  down  her  pitcher 
upon  her  hand,  and  gave  him  drink. 

19  And,  when  she  had  done  giving 
him  drink,  she  said,  I  will  draw  water  for 
thy  camels  also,  until  they  have  done 
drinking. 

20  And  she  hasted,  and  emptied  her 
pitcher  into  the  trough,  and  ran  again  un- 
to the  well  to  draw  water,  and  drew  for 
all  his  camels. 

21  And  the  man,  "  wondering  at  her, 
?held  his  peace,  lo  wit  whether  the  Lorc 
had  made  his  jouniey  prosperous  or  not. 

22  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the  camels 
had  done  drinking,  that  the  man  took  a 
golden  II  ear-ring,  of  half  a  shekel  weight, 
and  two  bracelets  for  her  hands,  of  ten 
shekels  weight  of  gold. 

23  And  said,  Whose  daughter  art 
thou  ?  tell  me,  I  pray  thee.  Is  there  room 
in  thy  father's  house  for  ns  to  lodge  in  ? 

24  And  she  said  untJ  him,  I  am  the 
daughter  of  Bethuel,  ^  the  son  of  Mil- 
cah, which  she  bare  unto  Nahor. 

25  She  said  moreover  unto  him.  We 
have  both  straw  and  provender  enough, 
and  room  to  lodge  in. 

26  And  the  man  «  bowed  down  his 
head,  and  worshipped  the  Lord. 

27  And  he  said.  Blessed  6e  the  Lord 
God  of  my  master  Abraham,  who  hatli 
''  not  lett  destitute  my  master  of  his 
mercv  and  his  truth  :  I  being  in  the  «ay, 
the  Lord  led  me  to  the  house  of  my  mas-

28  And  the  damsel  ran,  and  told  them 
of  her  't  mother's  house  the.se  things.

5  Because  that  Abraham  k  obeyed 
my  voice,  a]id  kept  my  charge,  my  com-

6  ^  And  Isaac  dwelt  in  '  Gerar. 

7  And  the  men  of  the  pl:\ce  asked 
him  of  his  wife  ;  and  he  said,  She  is 
•n  my  sister :  for  he  feared  "  to  say,  She 
is  my  wife  ;  lest,  s.iid  he,  the  men  of  the 
place  should  kill  me  for  Rebekah,  be- 
cause she  was  fair  to  look  U|)on. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  liad 
been  there  a  long  time,  that  Abimelech, 
king  of  live  Philistines,  o  looked  out  at 
a  window,  and  saw,  and,  behold,  Isaac 
lias  p  sportmg  with  Rebekah  his  wife. 

9  And  Abimelech  called  Isaac,  and 
said.  Behold,  of  a  sin-ety  she  is  thy  v\  ite  ; 
and  1  how  saidst  thou,  She  is  my  sister  .' 
And  Isaac  said  unto  him.  Because  I 
said,  Lest  I  die  for  her. 

10  And  Abimelc  ch  said,  What  is  this 
thou  hast  done  unto  us  ?  one  of  the  peo- 
ple might  lightly  have  lien  with  thy  wife, 
and  thou  shouldest  have  brought  guilti- 
ness upon  us. 

11  And  Abimelech  charged  all  his 
Psalm    people,  saying",  He  that  ^  toucheth  this 

lOo.  15.     man,  or  his  wife,  shall  surely  be  put  to 
death. 

12  "H  Then  Isaac  sowed  in  that  land, 
and  I  received  in  the  same  year  s  an  hun- 
dred-fold; and  the  Lord  'blessed  him. 

13  And  the  man  waxed  great,  and  t 
went  forward,  and  grew  until  he  became 
very  gi-eat. 

14  For  he  had"  possession  of  flocks, 
and  possession  of  herds,  and  great  store 
of  servants.  And  the  Philistines  >;  envied 
him. 

15  For  all  the  wells  which  his  father's 
servants  had  digged,  in  the  days  of  A- 
braham  his  father,  the  Philistines  had  y 
stepped  them,  and  hlled  them  with  earth . 

lb  And  Abimelech  said  unto  Isaac, 
Go  from  us;  tor  thou  art  much  mightier 
than  we. 

17  ^  And  Isaac  departed  thence,  and 
pitched  his  tent  in  the  valley  of  Gerar, 
and  dwelt  tiiere. 

18  And  Isaac  digged  again  the  wells

19  And  Isaac's  servants  digged  in  tlie

20  And  the  herdmen  of  Gerar  did

with  him. 

21  And  they  digged  another  well, 
and  strove  for  that  albO  :  and  he  called 
the  name  of  it  |j  Sitnah. 

22  And  he  removed  from  tlience,  and 
digged  another  well  ;  and  for  th.at they 
strove  not :  and  he  called  the  name  of  it 
(I  Rehoboth  ;  and  he  said,  For  now  tiie

.shall  be  fruitful  in  the  land. 

23  %  And  he  went  up  from  thence  to

I  fijji  with  thee,  and  will  bless  tliee,  and

25  A-ud  he  bifilded  an  =  aU.ir  there, 
and  called  upon  the  name  of  the  Lord, 
and  t  pitched  his  tent  there  :  and  there 
Isaac's  servants  digged  a  well.

from  Gerar,  and  Ahuzzath  one  of  his 
friends,  and  Phichol,  the  chief  captain 
of  his  army. 

27  And  Isaac  said  unto  them.  Where- 
fore come  \e  to  me, '  seeing  ye  hate  me, 
and  have  sent  rne  aw  ay  from  you  ? 

28  And  they  said,  f  We  saw  certainly 
that  the  Lord  was  with  thee:  and  we 
said.  Let  tliere  be  now  g  an  oath  be- 
twixt us,  even  betwixt  us  and  thee,  and 
lei  us  make  a  covenant  with  Uiee  ;

we  have  '>  not  touched  thee,  and  as  we 
have  done  unto  thee  nothing  but  good,

30  And  he  made  them  ■  a  feast,  and

So  that  he  could  not  see,  lie  called  Esau 
his  b  eldest  son,  and  said  unto  him,  M\

2  And  he  said,  Behold,  now  I  am  old,

pray  thee,  sit  and  eat  of  my  venison,  that 
thy  soul  may  bless  me. 

20  And  Isaac  said  unto  his  son.  How 
/*  it  that  thou  hast  found  it  so  quickly, 
my  son  ?  And  he  said.  Because  the 
Lord  thy  God  brought  //  to  me. 

21  And  Isaac  said  unto  Jacob,  " 
Come  neai',  I  pray  thee,  that  I  m.iy  feel 
thee,  my  son,  whether  thou  be  my  very 
son  Esau  or  not. 

22  And  Jacob  went  near  unto  Isaac 
his  father  ;  and  he  felt  him,  and  said. 
The  voice  is  Jacob's  voice,  but  the  hands 
are  tlie  hands  of  Esau. 

23  And  he  discerned  him  not,  because 
his  hands  were  hairy,  as  his  brother 
Esau's  hands.     So  he  p  blessed  him. 

24  And  lie  said,  Art  thou  my  very  son 
Esau  ?  AnA  he  said,  i  I  ann. 

25  And  he  said,  Bring  it  near  to  nie, 
and  I  will  eat  of  my  son's  venison,  that 
my  siul  may  bless  thee.  And  he  brout;hl 
it  near  to  him,  and  he  did  eat:  .aid  he 
brougiit  him  wine,  and  lie  drank. 

26  And  his  father  Isaac  said  unto  him. 
Come  near  now,  and  kiss  me,  my  son. 

27  And  he  came  near,  and  kissed 
him:  and  lie  smelled  the  smell  of  his  rai- 
ment, and  blessed  him,  and  said.  See, 
the  smeil  of  ni_\  son  is  as  the  smell  ^  of  a 
Held  which  tlie  Lord  hath  blessed. 

28  Tiierefore  God  gi\e  thee  of  the 
»  dew  of  lic-aven,  and  the  '  fatness  of  the 
earth,  and  plenty  of  »  corn  and  wir.e. 

29  Let  people  »  sei-ve  thee,  and  nations 
bow  do\\  n  to  thee ;  be  lord  over  thy  bre- 
thren, and  let  thy  mother's  sons  bow 
down  to  thee:  y  Ctn-sed  ie  every  one  that 
curseth  thee,  and  blessed  ^ehe  that  bles- 
seth  thee. 

30  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as 
Isaac  bad  made  an  end  of  blessing  Jacob, 
and  Jacob  was  yet  scarce  gone  out  from 
the  presence  of  Isaac  his  father,  that 
E-au  his  brother  came  in  from  his  hunt- 
ing. 

31  And  he  also  had  made  savoury 
meat,  and  brought  it  unto  his  father;  and 
said  unto  his  fatlier.  Let  my  father  arise, 
and  eat  of  his  son's  venison,  that  thy 
soul  may  bless  me. 

32  And  Isaac  his  father  said  unto  him, 
Who  art  ihou  ?  And  he  said,  I  am  thy 
son,  thy  ttrsl-borii,  Esau. 

33  And  Isaac  t  trembled  very  exceed- 
ingly, and  said.  Who  ]  where  is  he  that 
halli  taken  venison,  and  brought  it  me, 
and  I  liave  eaten  of  all  before  tliou 
camest,  and  have  blessed  Jiim  ?  yea,  and 
*he  sliall  be  blessed. 

34  J\nd  when  Esau  heard  the  words  of 
his  father  he  cried  with  a  great  and  ex- 
ceeding a  bitter  cry,  and  said  unto  his 
father.  Bless  me,  even  me  also,  O  my

right ;  and,  behold,  now  he  hath  taken

thou  not  reserved  a  blessing  for  me  ? 

37  And  Isaac  answere<l  and  said  unto

and  all  his  brethren  have  I  given  to  liim 
lor  servants ;  and  with  corn  and  wine 
have  I  sustained  him  :  and  what  shall  I 
do  now  unto  thee,  my  son  ? 

38  And  Esau  said  unto  his  father.  Hast 
thou  but  one  blessing,  my  father?  bless 
me,  eten  me  also,  O  my  father !    And

come  to  pass,  when  thou  shalt  have  the 
dominion,  that  thou  shalt  ^  break  his

41  ^  And  Esau  ■  hated  Jacob,  because

35  And  he  removed  that  day  the  he- 
goats  that  were  ring-streaked  and  spot- 
ted, and  all  the  she-goats  that  were 
speckled  and  spotted,  and  every  one  that 
had  some  white  in  it,  and  all  the  brown 
among  the  slieep,  and  gave  them  into 
the  hands  of  his  sons. 

36And  he  set  three  days'  journey  be- 
twixt himself  and  Jacob  :  and  Jacob  fed 
the  rest  of  Laban's  flocks. 

SrH  And  Jacob  tookhim  ^rods  of  green 
poplar,  and  of  the  f  hazel  and  ^  chesnut- 
tree,  and  pilled  white  streakes  in  them, 
and  made  the  white  appear  which  'n^as  in 
the  rods. 

38  And  he  set  the  rods  which  he  had 
pilled  before  the  flocks  in  tlie  gutters  in 
the  watering-troughs,  when  the  flocks 
came  to  drink,  that  they  should  f  con- 
ceive when  they  came  to  drink. 

39  And  the  flocks  conceived  before 
tlie  rods,  and  brought  forth  cattle  ring- 
streaked,  speckled,  and  spotted. 

40  And  Jacob  did  separate  the  lambs, 
and  set  the  faces  of  the  flocks  toward 
the  ring-streaked  and  all  the  brown  in  the 
flock  of  Laban ;  and  he  put  his  own 
flocks  by  tliemselves,  and  put  them  not 
unto  Lab  m's  cat  Je. 

41  And  it  came  to  pass,  whensoever 
the  stronger  cattle  did  conceive,  that 
Jacob  laid  the  rods  before  the  e}es  of 
the  cattle  in  the  gutters,  that  they  might 
conceive  among  the  rods. 

42  But  when  the  cattle  were  <^  feeble, 
he  put  them  not  in :  so  the  feebler  were 
Laban's,  and  the  stronger  Jacob's. 

43  And  the  man  -f  increased  f  exceed- 
ingly, and  had  much  cattle,  and  maid- 
servants, and  men-servants,  and  camels, 
and  asses.

19  Rachel  carrieth  aivay  the  images.  22 
Laban  pnrsueth  Jacob :  43  tlieir  cove- 
nant at  Galeed. 

AND  ^  he  heard  Uie  words  of  ''  La- 
ban's sons,  saying,  Jacob  liath  ^  taken 
away  all  that  i\-as  our  father's :  and  of 
that  which  too*  our  father's  hath  lie  got- 
ten all  I  his  ■'■  glory. 

2  And  Jacob  beheld  «the  countenance 
of  Laban,  and,  behold,  it  vcas  not  toward 
him  as  before. 

3  And  'the  Lord  said  unto  Jacob, 
Return  unto  the  g  land  of  thy  fathers, 
and  to  thy  kindred ;  and  I  will  be  ''  with 
thee. 

4  And  Jacob  .sent  and  called  Rachel 
,  and  Leah  to  the  field  '  unto  his  flock, 

5  And  said  unto  them,  I  see  your  fa- 
ther's countenance,  that  it  is  not  toward 
me  as  before  :  but  the  God  of  my  fallier 
hath  been  k  with  me. 

6  And  j-e  know  that  with  i  all  my  power 
I  have  served  your  fatlier. 

7  And  your  father  hath  deceived  me, 
and  changed  my  wages  '"  ten  times  :  but 
"  God  suliej'cd  liim  not  to  hurt  me. 


8  If  he  said  thus,  <>  The  speckled  shall 
be  thy  wages;  then  all  the  cattle  bare 
speckled  :  and  if  he  said  thus.  The  ring- 
streaked  shall  be  thy  hire;  then  bare  all 
the  cattle  rinsr-streaked. 

9  P  Thus  God  hath  taken  away  the 
cattle  of  your  father,  and  given  them  to 
me. 

10  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  time 
that  the  cattle  conceived,  that  I  lifted 

p  mine  eyes,  and  'i  saw  in  a  dream,  aiid, 
behold,  the  rams  w  hich  leaped  upon 
the  cattle  vere  ring-streaked,  speckled, 
and  grislcd. 

11  And  the  '  angel  of  God  spake  un- 
to me  in  a  dream,  saying,  Jacob.  And 
I  said.  Here  am  \- 

V2  And  he  said,  Lift  up  now  thine 
eyes  and  see,  all  the  rams  which  leap 
upon  the  cattle  are  ring-streaked,  speck- 
led, and  grlsled :  '  for  I  liave  seen  all  that 
Laban  doeth  unto  thee. 

13  I  amihe  God  of  Beth-el,  'where 
thou  anointedst  the  pillar,  anywhere  thou 
vowedst  a  vow  unto  me :  now  arise,  get 
thee  out  from  this  land,  and  return  unto 
the  land  af  thy  kindred. 

14  And  "  Rachel  and  Leah  answered 
and  said  unto  him.  Is  there  yet  "  any  por- 
tion or  inheritance  for  us  in  our  father's 
house  ? 

15  Are  we  not  counted  of  him  stran- 
gers? for  he  hath  v  sold  us,  and  hath 
quite  devotired  also  our  money. 

16  For  all  the  riches  which  God  hath 
t.iken  from  our  father,  that  is  ours,  and 
our  children's:  now  then,  ^  whatsoever 
God  hath  said  unto  thee,  do. 

17  ^  Then  Jacob  rose  up,  and  set  his 
sons  and  his  wives  upon  camels. 

18  And  he  carried  away  all  his  cattle, 
and  all  his  goods  whicii  he  liadgottei, 
the  cattle  of  his  getting,  which  he  had 
gotten  in  Padan-aram  ;  for  to  go  to  Isaac 
his  father  in  the  land  of  Canaan. 

19  And  Laban  went  to  shear  his 
sheep:  and  Rachel  had  stolen  the  f  im- 
ages that  were  her  father's. 

20  And  Jacob  stole  away  unawares 
to  Laban  the  Syrian,  in  that  he  told  him 
not  that  he  fled. 

21  So  he  fled  willi  all  that  lie  had,  and 
he  rose  up,  and  passed  over  =>  the  river, 
and  b  set  his  face  toivard  the  mount '  Gi- 
lead. 

22  And  it  was  told  Laban,  on  the 
''third  day,  that  Jacob  was  fled. 

23  And  he  took  iiis  ■;  brethren  with 
him,  and  pursued  after  him  seven  days' 
'journey  ;  and  they  overlook  him  in  the 
mount  Gilead 

24  And  f,  God  came  to  Laban  the 
Syrian  in  a  dream  by  niglit,  and  said 
unto  liim,  ''  Take  heed  that  thou  speak 
not  to  Jacob  '  either  good  or  bad. 

25  %  Then  Laban  overtook  Jacob. 
Now  Jacob  had  pitched  his  tent  in  the 
mount ;  and  Laban  with  his  brethren 
pitched  in  the  mount  of  Gilead. 

26  And  Laban  said  to  Jacob,  What

to  do  the  thing,  because  he  had  delight 
in  Jacob's  daughter  :  and  he  v:as  more 
honourable  than  all  the  "^  house  of  his  fa- 
ther. 

20  11  And  Hamor  and  Shethem  his

and  communed  with  the  men  of  their

21  Tliese  men  are  peaceab'e  v.ith  us, 
therefore  let  them  dwell  in  the  land,  and 
trade  therein  ;  for  the  land,  beiiold,  it  is 
large  enough  for  them  :  let  us  take  their 
daughters  to  us  fur  wives,  and  let  us 
give  them  our  daughters. 

22  Only  herein  will  the  men  con- 
sent unto  us  for  to  dwell  with  us,  to 
be  one  people,  if  every  male  among 
us  be  circumcised,  as  they  are  circum- 
cised. 

23  Shall  not  their  cattle,  and  their 
substance,  and  every  beast  of  theirs,  '■be 
ou;s  !  only  let  us  consent  unto  them,  and 
they  will  dwell  with  us. 

24  And  unto  Hamor,  and  unto  She- 
cht  m  his  son,  hearkened  all  that  went 
out  of  the  gate  of  his  city ,  and  every 
male  was  "  circumcised,  all  that  went 
out  of  the  g:Ue  of  his  city. 

25  fl  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the 
third  day,  when  they  were  "  sore,  that 
y  two  of  the  sons  of  Jacob,  Simeon 
and  Le\i,  Dinah's  brethren,  took  each 
man  his  sword,  and  came  upon  the  city 
boldly,  an<^  i^lew  ^  all  the  mules. 

26  And  they  slew  Hamor  and  She- 
cheni  his  son  with  the  edge  of  the 
sword,  and  took  Dinah  out  of  She- 
chem's  house,  and  went  out. 

27  Tiie  sons  of  Jacob  came  ^  upon  the 
si  lin,  and  spoiled  the  city,  because  they 
had  b  deiiled  th;  ir  si.Ntcr. 

28  Tiiey  took  tlicir  sheep,  and  their

AND  »  God  said  unto  Jacob,  Arise,

make  there  an  altar  unto  God  that  ap- 
peared unto  thee  "  hen  thou  <=  fieddest 
from  the  fare  i)f  Esau  thy  brother. 

2  Then  Jacob  said  unto  iiis  ^  hou-e- 
h<  Id,  and  to  all  that  ivere  with  him,  ^  Put 
away  the  strange  gods  that  are  among 
you,  and  ^ be  clean,  and  change  your  g 
garments : 

3  And  let  us  arise,  and  go  up  to  Beth- 
el ;  and  I  will  make  there  an  altar  unto 
God,  vvho  '>  answered  me  in  the  dny  of 
my  '  distress,  and  was  with  me  in  the 
way  wlii  h  I  svei  t. 

4  And  they  gave  unto  Jacob  all  ^  the 
strange  gods  wliich  were  ni  their  hftnd, 
and  all  their  '  ear-rings  whic  h  ixere  in 
th-ir  ears  ;  and  Jacob  '"  hid  tl  em  un- 
der the  oak  which  kvos  by  Shechem. 

5  And  they  journeyed  :  and  the  "ter- 
ror of  God  was  upon  the  cities  that  ivere 
iound  abiut  tliem,  and  they  did  not  pur- 
sue  ;d'uT  the  sons  of  Jacob. 

6^  So  Jac'ib  came  to  °  Lu7,  which  is 
in  the  land  of  Canaan  (that  is  Beth-el) 
he,  and  all  the  people  that  were  with 
him. 

7  And  he  built  v  there  an  altar,  and 
called  the  place  "5  El-beth-el ;  because 
t;iere  God  appeared  unto  him,  when  he 
ried  from  the  face  of  his  brother. 

8  But  Dt'^rah,  r  Rebekah's  nurse, 
died,  and  she  was  buried  beneath  Beth- 
el luidcr  an  oak  :  and  the  name  of  it  was 
called  II  Allon-bachuth. 

9  If  And  God  «  appeared  unto  Jacob 
again,  when  he  came  out  of  Padan-aram, 
and  blessed  him. 

10  And  God  said  unto  him,  Thy  name 
is  Jacob  :  thy  name  shall  not  be  called 
any  more  Jacob,  but  Israel  shall  be  tiiy 
name  ;  and  he  culled  his  name  '  Israel. 

11  And  God  said  unto  him,  I  atn 
«  God  Almighty  ;  be  fruitful  and  tnuiti- 
ply  :  anauon,  and  a  company  of  nations, 
shall  be  of  thee  ;  and  "  kings  shall  come 
out  of  thy  loins  ; 

12  And  the  land  which  I  gave  Abra- 
ham and  Isaac,  y  to  thee  I  will  give  it, 
and  to  thy  seed  after  thee  will  I  give  the 
land. 

13  And  God  ^  went  up  from  him,  in 
the  place  where  he  talked  with  him. 

14  And  Jacob  set  up  =>a  pillar  in  the 
f)lace  where  he  talked  w  ith  him,  even  a 
pillar  of  stone  ;  and  he  poured  a  drink- 
oifering  thereon,  and  he  poured  oil  there- 
on. 

15  And  Jacob  called  the  name  of  the 
place,  Wiiere  God  spake  with  him,  Beth-

2  These  are  the  generations  of  Jacob  :  t  Heb. 
Joseph,  being  seventeen  years  old,  was  ofhisfa-

the  lad  was  with  the  sons  of  Bili)ali,  and  ings, 
with  the  sons  of  Zilpah,  his  father's  ^  j^^P*^**^ 
wives:  and  Joseph  brought  unto  his  fa-  a  chap, 
ther  their  •>  evil  report.  35. 22. 

3  N(jw  Israel  <=  loved  Joseph  more  ^^^°^^ 
than  all  his  children,  because  he  was  tin  c  John 
''•  son  of  Ills  old  age  :  and  he  made  him  ^?-?^' 
«  a  coat  oi'many  colours.  44, 20^ 

4  And  when  his    brethren  saw  that  «  2  Sam. 
their  father  loved  him  more  than  all  iiis  ^^-  ^^^ 
brethren,  they  f  hated  him,  and  could /ver.  24. 
not  speak  peaceably  unto  him. 

5  ^  And  Joseph  s  dreamed  a  dream,  ^Nnm. 
and  he  told  it  his  brethren  :  and  they  ha-  12. 6.

6  And  he  said  unto  them.  Hear,  1  h  John

dreamed. 

7  For,  behold,  we  urrebindingsheaves

sheaves  stood  '  round  about,  and  ^  made  ^  jfyj„_ 
obeisance  to  my  sheaf.  2. 17. 

8  And  his  brethren   said  unto  him,  •f^*^^-'*'^- 
Shalt  thou  hideed  '  reign  over  us?   "r  42.  g. 
shaltthou  indeed  have  dominion  over  us  ?  /  Luke 
And  they  hated  him  yet  the  mo'-e  for  ^^*  ^*' 
his  dreams,  and  for  his  words. 

y  If   Aiid   he   dreamed  yet  another 
dream,  and  told  it  his  brethren,  and  said, 
Beltold,  I  liave  dreamed  a  dream  moj'e  ; 
and,  behold,  the  '"  sun,  and  the  moon,  ^'^j^''* 
and  the  eleven  "  stars,  made  obeisance  n  Philip,

10  And  he  told  it  to  his  father,  and  to  ^^^^^ 
his  brethren  ;  and   his  father  rebuked 

iiim,  and  said  unto  him.  What  is  this 
dream  that  thou  iiast  dreamed?  Shall  I, 
and  tliy  mother,  and  thy  brethren,  in-

thee  to  the  earth  ? 

11  And  his  brethren  envied  him  ;  but

Let  us  go  to  1  Dothan.  And  Joseph 
w  ent  after  his  brethren,  and  found  them 
in  Dothan. 

18  And  when  they  saw  him  afar  off, 
even  before  he  came  near  unto  them,, 
the}'  f  conspired  against  liim  to  slay  him. 

19  And  they  said  one  to  another,  Be- 
hold, this  f  dreamer  cometh. 

20  Come  now,  therefore,  and  let  us 
slay  him,  and  cast  !um  into  some  ^  pit ; 
and  we  will  say,  ^  Some  evil  beast  hath 
devoured  him  :  and  we  shall  see  what 
will  become  of  his  dreams. 

21  And  "  Reuben  heard  it,  and  he 
delivered  him  out  of  their  hands  ;  and 
said.  Let  us  not  kill  him. 

22  And  Reuben  said  unto  them.  Shed 
no  blood,  but  cast  him  into  this  pit  that 
is  in  the  w  ilderness,  and  lay  no  hand  up- 
on him;  that  lie  might  rid  him  out  of  their 
hands,  to  "deliver  him  to  his  fatlier  again. 

23  If  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Joseph 
was  come  unto  his  brethreii,  that  they  y 
stripped  Joseph  out  of  liis  coat,  his  coat 
oi  many  colours,  that  kqs  on  him  : 

24  And  they  took  him,  and  cast  him 
into  a  pit ;  and  the  pit  vias  empty,  there 
•aas  ^  no  water  in  it. 

25  And  they  sat  down  •  to  eat  bread  : 
and  they  lifted  up  their  eyes,  and  look- 
ed, and,  behold,  a  company  of  Ishmeel- 
ites  came  from  ^  Gilead,  with  their  ca- 
mels bearing  spicery,  .-ind  balm,  and 
myrrh,  going  lo  carry  it  down  to  Egypt. 

26  And  Judah  said  unto  his  brethren, 
'  WhatproHt  is  /f  if  we  slay  our  brother, 
and  <*  conceal  his  bhjod  ] 

27  Come,  and  let  us  =  sell  him  to  the 
Ishmeelites,  and  let  not  our  hand  be  up- 
on him  ;  for  he  is  our  brother,  and  owv 
flesh  :  and  his  brethren  were  content. 

28  Then  there  passed  by  f  Midian- 
ites,  merchant-men  ;  and  they  drew 
and  lifted  up  Joseph  out  of  the  pit,  and 
sold  Joseph  lo  the  Islimeelites,  for  ? 
t\venty/;/ece.r  of  silver  :  and  they  brought 
Joseph  into  Egypt. 

29  51  And  Reuben  returned  unto  the 
pit:  and,  behold,  Joseph  vjas  not  in  the 
pit  :  and  he  ^  rent  his  cloihes. 

30  And  he  returned  unto  his  brethren 
and  said,The  child/* 'not;  and  I,  whither 
shall  I  go  ] 

31  And  tiiey  took  Joseph's  coat,  and 
killed  a  kid  of  the  goats,  and  dipped  the 
coat  in  the  blood  : 

32  And  tliey  sent  tlie  coat  of  mavy 
colours,  and  liiey  brought  it  to  their  fa- 
tlier, and  said,  This  liave  we  found  : 
know  now  whether  it  be  thy  son's  coat 
or  no. 

33  And  he  knew  it,  and  said,  It  is 
my  son's  coat ;  an  evil  beast  hath  de- 
voured him  :  Joseph  is  ''^  without  doubt 
rent  in  pieces. 

34  And  Jacob  rent  his  clothes,  and 
put|sackcL)lh  upon  his  loins,  and  mourn- 
ed for  tiis  son  many  da\  s. 

o5  And  all  Ins  sons,  and  all '"  his  daugii- 
ters,  rose  up  to  comfort  him  ;   but  he  t 


refused  to  be  comforted  ;  and  he  said, 
For  I  will  go  down  into  the  grave  unto 
my  son  mourning.  Thus  his  father 
wept  for  him. 

36  And  the  °  Midianites  sold  him  in- 
to Egypt  unto  Potiphar,  |)  an  officer  oi 
Pharaoh's,  and  captain  of  the  guard.

AND  it  came  to  pass  at  that  time, 

that  Judah  went  down  from  his  brethren, 

and  turned  in  to  a  ^  certain  AduUamile, 

svhose  name  v:as  Hirah. 

2  And  Judah  >>  saw  there  a  daughter 
ofacertain  Canaanile,  whose  name  u«s  ' 
Shuah  ;  and  he  ^  took  her,  and  ^  went  in 
unto  her. 

3  And  she  f  conceived,  and  bare  a 
son  ;  and  he  called  his  name  Er. 

4  And  she  conceived  again,  and  bare  a 
son  ;  and  she  called  his  name  Onan. 

5  And  she  yet  again  conceived,  and 
bare  a  son  ;  and  called  his  name  Shelah  : 
and  he  was  at  i  Chezib  when  she  bare  him. 

6  And  Judah  ''  took  a  wife  for  Er,  his 
first-born,  whose  name  'vcas  |{  Tamar. 

7  And  Er,  judah's  tirst-born,  was 
wicked  in  the  '  sight  of  the  Lord  ;  and 
the  Lord  ''■  slew  him. 

8  And  Judah  said  unto  Onan,  Go  in 
unto  thy  brother's  wife,  and '  marry  her, 
and  raise  up  seed  to  thy  brother. 

9  And  Onan  knew  that  the  seed 
should  ">  not  be  his  :  and  it  came  to  pass, 
when  he  went  in  unto  his  brother's  wile, 
that  he  spilled  it  on  the  ground,  lebtthat 
he  should  give  seed  to  his  brother. 

10  And  the  thing  which  he  did  dis- 
pleased the  Lord;  wherefore  he  slew 
liim  also. 

11  Then  said  Judah  to  Tamar  his 
daughter-in-law,  "  Remain  a  widow  at 
thy  father's  house,  till  Shelah  my  son  be 
gi'own :  (for  he  said,  Lest  peradventure 
he  die  also  as  his  brethren  did.)  Ard 
Tamar  went  and  dwelt  in  her  father's 
house. 

12  H  And,  in  process  of  time,  the 
daughter  of  Shuah,  Judah's  wife,  died  : 
and  Judah  was  comforted,  and  went  up 
unto  his  o  sheep-shearers  to  p  Timnath, 
he  and  his  friend  Hirah  the  AduUamite. 

13  And  it  was  told  Tamar,  saying. 
Behold,  thy  father-in-law  goeth  up  to 
Timnath  to  shear  his  sheep. 

14  And  she  put  her  widow's  garments 
offfrom  her,  and  covered  her  with  s  a 
vail,  and  wrapped  herself,  and  sat  f  in 
an  open  place,  which  is  by  the  way  to 
Timnath  :  for  she  saw  that  Shelah  was 
grown,  and  she  was  ^  not  given  unto  him 
to  wife. 

15  When  Judah  saw  her,  he  thought 
her  to  be  an  harlot ;  because  slie  had 
covered  her  face. 

16  Ai.d  he  turned  unto  her  by  the

ivas  of  all  manner  of  bake-meats  for 
Pharaoh  ;  and  the  birds  did  eat  them 
out  of  the  basket  upon  my  head, 

18  AikI  Joseph  answered  and  said, 
Tliis  is  the  interpretation  thereof:  The 
three  baskets  are  three  days. 

19  Yet  within  three  days  shall  Pha- 
raoh   lift   up  thy  head  from  off  thee, 

and  shall  hang  thee  on  a  tree  ;  and  <J  the  q  Deut.

seven  years  ;  and  the  seven  empty  ears,  ^^'  ^^' 
blasted  with  the  east  wind,  shall  be  seven

28  This  is  the  thing  which  I  have 
spoken  unto  Pharaoh ;  What  God  is 
about  to  do,  he  slievveth  unto  Pharaoh. 

29  Behold,  there  come  seven  years 
of  great  plenty  throughout  all  the  land 
of  Egypt : 

30  And  there  shall  arise  after  them 
seven  years  of  famine  ;  and  all  the  plenty 
shall  be  forgotten  in  the  land  of  Etrypt; 
and  llie  famine  shall  consume  the  land  ; 

31  And  the  plenty  shall  not  be  known 
in  the  land  by  reason  of  that  famine  fol- 
lowing ;  for  it  shall  be  very  grievous.

that  thy  servants  should  do  according' 
to  this  thing. 

8  Behold,  the  money  which  we  found 
in  our  sacks'  mouths  we  brought  again 
unto  thee  out  of  t!ie  land  of  Canaan; 
how  tiien  should  we  steal  out  of  thy

9  With  whom  soever  of  thy  servantis 
it  be  found,  both  <;  let  him  die,  and  we

it  is  found  shall  be  my  servant;  and  ye 
shall  be  <i  blameless. 

11  Then  they  speedily  took  down 
every  man  his  sack  to  the  grouiid,  and 
opened  every  man  his  sack. 

12  And  he  searched,  and  began  at  the

Bring  him  down  unto  me,  that  I  may 
Psct  mine  eyes  upon  him. 

22  And  we  said  inito  my  Ic^d,  The 
lad  cannot  leave  his  fatlier  :  for  if  he 
should  leave  his  father,  his  father  \\ot.\\d

23  And  thou  saidst  imto  thy  servant,s, 
F.-Nci-j  t   your  youn^^ost    brother  come 


down  with  you  ye  shall  see  my  face  i  no 
more. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  we 
came  up  unto  thy  servant  my  father,  we 
told  him  the  words  of  my  lord. 

25  And  our  fatlier  said,  Go  again,  and 
buy  us  a  little  food. 

26  And  u  e  said,  We  cannot  go  down  : 
if  our  youngest  brother  be  with  us,  then 
will  we  go  down  ;  f  r  we  may  not  see  the 
man's  face  except  our  youngest  brother 
be  with  us. 

27  And  thy  servant  my  father  said 
unto  us.  Ye  know  that  f  my  wife  bare 
me  two  sons  .• 

28  And  the  one  went  out  from  me,  and 
I  s.iid,  5  Surely  he  is  torn  in  pieces;  and 
I  sav\-  him  not  since. 

29  And  if  ye  take  this  also  from  me, 
and  mischief  befal  him,  ye  shall  bring 
down  my  f  gray  hairs  with  f  sorrow  to 
the  grave. 

30  Now,  therefore,  when  I  come  to 
thy  servant  my  father,  and  the  lad  be 
not  with  us ;  (seeing  that  his  life  '  is 
bound  up  in  the  lad's  life  ;) 

31  It  shall  come  to  pass,  when  he 
seeth  that  the  lad  is  not  ivith  tis,  that 
he  will  die  :  and  thy  servants  shall  bring 
down  the  gray  hairs  of  thy  servant  our 
father  with  sorrow  to  the  grave. 

32  For  thy  servant  became  surety  for 
the  lad  unto  my  father,  saying.  If  I  bring 
him  not  unto  thee,  then  I  shall  bear  the 
blame  to  my  father  for  ever. 

33  Now,  therefore,  I  pray  thee,  let 
tliy  servant  abide  "  instead  of  the  lad  a 
bondman  to  my  lord  ;  and  let  the  lad  go 
up  with  his  brethren. 

34  For  how  shall  I  go  up  to  my  fa- 
ther, and  the  lad  be  not  with  me  !  lest 
peradventure  I  see  the  evil  that  shall 
t  come  on  my  father.

me  hither  ;  h  for  God  did  send  me  be- 
fore you  '  to  preserve  life. 

6  For  these  two  years  hath  the  fa- 
mine been  in  the  land  ;  and  yet  there  are 
five  years,  in  the  which  there  shall  nei- 
tlier  be  ^  earing  nor  harvest. 

7  And  God  sent  me  before  you  to 
preserve  you  a  posterity  in  the  earth, 
and  to  save  your  Uves  by  a  great  i  deU- 
ve  ranee. 

8  So  now,  it  ivas  not  you  that  sent  me 
hither,  m  but  God:  and  he  hatli  made 
me  n  a  father  to  Pharaoh,  and  lord  of 
all  his  house,  and  a  ruler  throughout  all 
the  land  of  Egypt. 

9  Haste  je,  and  go  up  to  my  father, 
and  say  unto  him,  Thus  saith  thy  son 
Joseph,  God  hath  made  me  lord  of  all 
Egypt ;  come  down  unto  me,  tarry  not. 

10  And  thou  shall  dwell  in  tlie  land 
of  Goshen,  and  ihou  shall  be  near  unto 
me,  thou,  and  thy  children,  and  thy 
children's  children,  and  thy  Hocks,  and 
thy  herds,  and  all  that  thou  hast. 

11  And  there  will  I  nourish  thee  (for 
yet  there  are  five  years  of  famine  ;)  lest 
thou,  and  thy  household,  and  all  that 
thou  hast,  come  to  poverty. 

12  And,  behold,  your  eyes  see,  and 
the  eyes  of  my  brother  Benjamin,  that 
it  is  °  my  mouth  that  speaketli  unto  you. 

13  And  ye  shall  tell  my  father  of  all 
my  glory  in  Egypt,  and  of  all  that  ye 
have  seen ;  and  ye  shall  haste,  and  bring 
down  my  father  hither. 

14  And  he  fell  upon  his  brother  Ben- 
jamin's neck,  and  p  wept;  and  Benjamin 
wept  upon  his  neck. 

15  Moreover,  he  kissed  all  his  bre- 
thren, and  wept  upon  them :  and  after 
that  his  brethren  q  talked  with  him. 

16  li  And  the  fame  thereof  was  heard 
in  Pharaoh's  house,  saying,  Joseph's 
brethren  are  come :  and  it  pleased  Pha- 
raoh well,  and  his  servants. 

17  And  Pharaoh  said  unto  Joseph, 
Say  unto  thy  brethren.  This  do  ye  ; 
lade  yovu"  beasts,  and  go,  get  you  unto 
the  land  of  Canaan  ; 

18  And  take  your  father,  and  your 
households,  and  come  unto  me  :  and  I 
will  give  you  the  good  of  the  land  of 
Egvpt,  and  ye  shall  eat  the  ^fat  of  the 
land. 

19  Now  5  thou  art  commanded,  this 
do  ye ;  Take  you  waggons  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt  for  your  little  ones,  and 
for  your  wives,  and  bring  your  father, 
and  come- 

20  Also  t  regard  not  your  stuff;  for 
the  good  of  aU  the  land  of  Egypt  is 
\onrs. 

21  And  the  children  of  Israel  did  so : 
and  Joseph  gave  them  waggons,  accord- 
ing to  the  t  commandment  of  Pharaoh, 
and  gave  them  provision  for  the  way. 

22  To  all  of  them  he  gave  each  man 
'changes  of  raiment ;  but  to  Benjamin 
he  gave  three  hundred  pieces  of  silver, 
and  five  changes  of  raiment.

')is  brethren,  and  g'ave  them  a  possession 
in  the  land  of  Eg-j'pt,  in  the  best  of  the 
land,  in  the  land  of  Rameses,  as  Pha- 
raoh had  commanded. 

12  And  Joseph  nourished  his  father, 
and  his  brethren,  and  all  his  father's 
household,  with  bread,  ||  according  f  to 
their  families. 

13  ^  And  there  was  no  bread  in  all  the 
land :  for  the  famine  ivas  very  sore,  so 
that  the  land  of  Egypt,  and  all  the  land 
of  Canaan,  f  fainted  by  reason  of  the 
famine. 

14  And  Joseph  gathered  up  all  the 
money  that  was  found  in  the  land  of 
Eg}pt,  and  in  the  land  of  Canaan,  for 
the  corn  which  they  bought:  and  Jo- 
seph brought  the  money  into  Pharaoh's 
house. 

15  And  when  money  failed  in  the  land 
of  Egypt,  and  in  the  land  of  Canaan,  all 
the  Egj-ptians  came  unto  Joseph,  and 
said,  Give  us  '  bread  :  for  wliy  should 
we  die  in  thy  presence  I  for  the  money 
failetb. 

16  And  Joseph  said.  Give  your  cattle; 
and  '°  I  will  give  you  for  your  cattle,  if 
money  fail. 

17  And  they  brought  their  cattle  un- 
to  Joseph  :  and  Joseph  gave  them  bread 
in  exchange  for  horses,  and  for  the 
flocks,  and  for  the  cattle  of  the  herds, 
and  for  the  asses ;  and  he  fed  them  with 
bread  for  all  their  cattle  for  that  year. 

18  When  that  year  was  ended,  they 
came  unto  him  the  second  year,  and 
said  unto  him,  We  will  "  hot  hide  it 
from  my  lord,  how  that  our  money  is 
spent ;  my  lord  also  hath  our  herds  of 
cattle:  there  is  not  aught  left  in  the 
sight  of  my  lord  but  our  bodies  and  out 
lands  : 

19  Wherefore  shall  we  die  before 
thine  eyes,  both  we  and  our  land  ?  buy 
us  and  our  land  for  bread,  and  we  and 
our  land  will  be  servants  unto  Pha- 
raoh ;  and  give  us  seed,  that  we  ma}- 
live  and  not  die,  that  tlie  land  be  not 
desolate. 

20  And  Joseph  bought  all  the  land  of 
Egypt  for  Pharaoh  ;  for  the  Egyptians 
sold  every  man  his  field,  because  the  fa- 
mine prevailed  over  them  :  so  the  land 
became  Pharaoh's. 

21  And  as  for  the  people,  he  removed 
them  to  cities  from  one  end  of  the  bor- 
ders of  Egypt  even  to  the  other  end 
thereof. 

22  Only  the  land  of  the  (|  priests 
bought  lie  not:  for  the  priests  had  a 
portion  assigned  them  of  Pharaoh,  and 
did  eat  their  °  portion  which  Pharaoh 
gave  them  ;  wherefore  they  sold  not 
their  lands. 

23  Then  Joseph  said  unto  the  people. 
Behold,  I  have  bought  jouthis  day,  and 
your  land,  for  Pharaoli  :  lo,  here  is  p  seed 
for  you,  and  ye  shall  sow  the  land, 

24  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  in  the 
increase,  that  ye  shall  give  the  fifth j&nr' 


into  Pharaoh  ;  and  four  t  parts  shall  be 
your  own,  for  seed  of  the  field,  and  for 
your  food,  and  for  them  of  your  house- 
holds, and  for  .food  for  your  little 
ones. 

25  And  they  said.  Thou  hast  f  saved 
our  lives  :  let  us  'i  find  grace  in  tlie  sight 
of  my  lord,  and  we  will  be  Pharaoh's 
servants. 

26  And  Joseph  made  it  a  law  over  the 
land  of  Egj'pt  unto  this  day,  that  Pha- 
raoh should  have  the  fifth />arf,-  except 
the  land  of  the  priests  only,  v:hich  be- 
came not  Pharaoh's. 

27  H  And  Israel  dwelt  in  the  land  of 
Egypt,  in  the  country  of  Goslien  ;  and 
they  had  possessions  thei-ein,  and  grew, 
and  multiplied  ^  exceedingly. 

28  ^  And  Jacob  lived  in  the  land  of 
Egypt  seventeen  years :  so  f  the  whole 
age  of  Jacob  was  an  hundred  forty  and 
seven  years. 

29  And  the  time  drew  nigh  that  Israel 
must  die  :  and  he  called  his  son  Joseph, 

and  said  unto  him.  If  now  I  have  found 
grace  in  thy  sight,  put,  I  pray  thee,  thy 
hand  under  ^  my  thigh,  and  deal  kindly 
and  truly  with  me ;  bury  me  not,  I  pray 
thee,  in  Egypt : 

30  But  I  will  lie  with  my  fathers ;  and 
thou  sh;dt  carry  me  out  of  Egypt,  and 
bury  me  in  their  "  burying-place.  And 
he  said,  I  will  do  as  thou  hast  said. 

31  And  he  said,  Swear  unto  me.  And 
he  sware  unto  him.  And  Israel  "  bow- 
ed himself  upon  the  bed's  head.

CHAP.  I. 

1  The  children  of  Israel  multiply :  8  they 
are  oppressed  by  a  nevi  king.  15  T'k 
piety  of  the  inid'u.'i'oes.  22  The  nnale 
children  to  be  cast  into  the  river. 

NOW  these  are  the  »  names  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  which  came  into 
Egypt;  every  man  and  his  household 
came  with  Jacob. 

2  b  Reuben,  Simeon,  Levi,  and  Judah, 

3  "^  Issachur,  Zebulun,  and  <*  Benjamin, 

4  Dan,  and  Naphtali,  Gad,  and  Asher. 

5  And  all  the  souls  that  came  out  of 
the  loins  of  Jacob  were  =  seventy  souls  : 
^  for  Joseph  was  in  Egyi^t  already. 

6  And  Joseph  died,  and  all  shis  breth- 
ren, and  all  that  generation. 

7  And  the  cliildren  of  Israel  were 
fruitful,  and  '>  increased  abvuidantly,  and 
multiplied,  and  waxed  exceeding  migh- 
ty ;  and  the  land  was  filled  with  them. 

8  ^  Now,  there  arose  up  a  ■  new  king 
over  Egypt,  whicii  k  knew  not  Joseph. 

9  And  he  said  unto  his  people.  Be- 
hold, the  people  of  the  children  of  Israel 
are  '  more  and  mightier  than  we. 

10  ">  Come  on,  let  us  "  de.al  wisely 
with  them,  lest  they  multiply;  and  it 
come  to  pass,  that,  when  there  falleth 
out  any  war,  they  join  also  unto  oiu- 
enemies,  and  fight  against  us,  and  «o  get 
them  up  out  of  the  land. 

11  1  hereforc  they  did  set  over  them 
taskmasters,  to  afflict  tliem  w  ith  their 
"  burdens.  And  tiiey  built  for  Pharaoh 
treasure-cities,  Pithom  and  Kaamses. 

12  t  Buttjic  more  they  alRictcd  them 
the  more  they  multiplied  and  grew. 
And  tliey  were  r  grieved  because  of  the 
children  of  Israel. 

13  And  the  Egyptians  made  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  to  serve  with  q  rigour. 

14  And  tliey  made  their  lives  biitcr 


jwith  hard  bondage,  in  mortar,  and  in 
brick,  and  in  all  manner  of  service  in 
I  the  field;  all  their  service,  wherein  they 
i  made  them  serve,  loas  with  rigour. 
I  15  11  And  the  king  of  Egypt  spake  to 
I  the  Hebrew  midwives ;  (of  which  the 
•  name  of  the  one  was  Shiphrah,  and  the 
j  name  of  the  other  Puah  ;) 
I  16  And  he  said,  When  ye  do  the  office 
[of  a  midwife  to  the  Hebrew  women,  and 
isee  them  upon  the  stools,  if  it  be  a  son, 
jthen  ye  shall  >^  kill  him  ;  but  if  it  be  a 
daughter,  then  she  shall  live. 

17  But  the  midwives  «  feared  God, 
and  did  not  fas  the  king  of  Egypt  com- 
manded them,  but  saved  the  men-chil- 
dren alive. 

18  And  the  king  of  Egypt  called  for 
the  midwives,  and  said  unto  them,  " 
Wiiy  have  ye  done  this  thing,  and  have 
saved  the  men-children  alive  ? 

19  And  the  midwives  said  unto  Pha- 
raoh, Because  the  Hebrew  women  are 
not  as  the  Egyptian  women ;  for  they 
are  lively,  and  are  delivered  "  ere  the 
midwives  come  in  unto  them. 

20  Therefore  God  dealt  v  well  with 
the  midwives:  and  the  peo])le  multi- 
plied, and  waxed  very  mighty. 

21  And  it  came  to  pass,  because  the 
midwives  feared  God,  that  he  ^  n)ade 
them  houses. 

22  And  Pharaoh  »  charged  all  his 
people,  saying,  Every  son  that  is  born 
ye  shall  cast  into  the  rivei',  and  every 
daughter  ye  shall  save  alive.

2  And  the  woman  conceived,  and 
bare  a  <=  son  :  and  w  hen  she  saw  him 
that  he  was  <*  c  goodly  chiid,  she  «  hid 
him  three  months. 

3  And  when  she  could  '  not  longer 
hide  him,  she  took  for  him  an  ark  of 

"Psaim    bulrushes,  and  daubed  it  w  ith  slime  aiwl 
iii'^i'^    with  pitch,  and  put  tne  child  therein  ; 

and  she  laid  it  in  the  flags  by  the  river's 

brink. 

4  And  g  his  sister  stood  afar  ofT,  to 
wit  what  would  be  done  to  him. 

5  U  And  the  ^  daughter  of  Pharaoh 
came  down  to  wash  herseif  at  the  river, 
and  her  maidens  walked  -along  by  the 
river's  side  :  and  when  she  saw  the  ark 
among  the  flags  she  sent  her  maid  to 
fetch  it. 

6  And  when  she  had  opened  it,  she 
saw  the  child:  and,  behold,  the  babe 
wept  And  she  had  '  compassion  on 
him,  and  said,  This  is  one  of  the  ^  He- 
brews' children- 

7  Then  said  his  sister  to  Pharaoh's 
daughter,  Shall  I  go  and  call  to  thee  a 
nurse  of  the  Hebrew  women,  that  she 
may  nurse  the  child  for  thee  ? 

8  And  Pharaoh's  daughter  said  to 
her.  Go.  And  the  maid  went  and  called 
the  '  child's  mother. 

9  And  Pharaoh's  daughter  said  unto 
her.  Take  this  child  away,  and  nurse 
it  for  me,  and  I  will  give  thee  thy  wages. 
And  the  woman  took  the  child,  and 
nursed  it. 

10  And  the  child  grew,  and  she  brought 
him  unto  Pharaoh's  daughter,  and  he 
became  ^  her  son.  And  she  called  his 
name  |[ "Moses:  and  she  said.  Because

went  out  unto  his  brethren,  and  looked 
on  their  burdens  :  and  he  spied  an 
Egyptian  smiting  an  Hebrew,  one  of  his

12  And  he  looked  this  way  and  that

Moses  <:  tied  from  the  face  of  Pharaoh,

he  sat  down  by  a  "  well. 

16  Now,  the  II  prkst  of  Midian  had 
seven  daughters :  and  they  came  and 
drew  luater,  and  filled  the  troughs  to

IT  And  the  shepherds  came  and  ikove 


them  away :  but  Moses  stood  up  and  y 
helped  them,  and  watered  their  flock. 

18  And  when  they  came  to  ^  Reuel 
their  father,  he  said.  How  is  it  that  ye 
are  come  so  soon  to-day  ? 

19  And  they  said.  An  Egyptian  de-

dian :  and  he  led  tlie  flock  to  the  back- 
side of  the  desert,  and  came  to  the  ^

2  And  the  <^  Angel  of  the  Lord  ap-

and  the  busli  ivas  ^  not  consumed. 

3  And  Moses  said,  I  will  now  f  turn 
aside  and  see  this  great  sight,  why  the 
bush  is  not  burned. 

4  And  v.hen  the  Lord  saw  that  he 
turned  aside  to  see,  God  called  g  unto 
liim  out  of  the  midst  of  the  bush,  and 
said,  h  Moses,  Moses  !  And  he  said.

1  Frogs  are  threatened,  5  a7id  sent.  16  The 
dust  is  turned  into  lice.    20  The  plague 
of  flies.    52  Pharaoh  is  still  hardened. 
AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Moses, 

3  Go  unto  Pharaoh,  and  say  unto  him, 

Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Let  my  people 

go,  that  they  may  serve  me. 

2  And  if  thou  refuse  to  let  them  go, 
behold,  I  will  smite  all  thy  borders  with 
frogs : 

3  And  the  river  shall  bring  forth  frogs 
abundantly,  which  shall  go  up,  and  come 
into  thine  house,  atid  into  thy  bed-cham- 
ber, and  upon  thy  bed,  and  into  the  house 
of  thy  servants,  and  upon  thy  people,  and 
into  thine  ovens,  and  into  thy  kneading- 
troughs  : 

4  And  the  frogs  shall  come  up,  both 
''  on  thee,  and  upon  thy  people,  and  up- 
on all  thy  servants. 

5  ^  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Moses, 
Say  unto  Aaron,  Stretch  forth  thine  hand 
with  thy  rod  over  the  streams,  over  the 
rivers,  and  over  the  ponds,  and  cause 
frogs  to  come  up  upon  the  land  of  Egypt. 

6  And  Aaron  stretched  out  iiis  hand 
over  the  waters  of  Egypt ;  and  the  '^ 
frogs  came  up,  and  "^  covered  tiie  land 
ofE^ypt. 

?■  And  tlie  magicians  «  did  so  witli 
their  inchantments, and  brought  up  frogs 
upon  tlie  land  of  Egypt. 

8  H  Then  Pharaoh  called  for  Moses 
and  Aaron,  and  said, '"Entreat  the  I^ord, 
that  he  may  take  away  the  frogs  from 
me,  and  fiom  my  people  ;  and  I  will  let 
the  people  t  go,  that  they  may  do  sacri- 
fice unto  the  Lord. 

9  And  Moses  said  unto  Pharaoh, 
IJ  Glory  over  me :  when  shall  I  entreat 
for  thee,  and  for  thy  servants,  and  for 
thy  people,  to  f  destroy  the  frogs  from 
thee  and  thy  houses,  that  they  may  re- 
main in  the  ''  river  only  ? 

10  And  iie  said.  To-morrow.  And 
he  said,  Be  it  according  to  thy  word  ; 
•  that  thou  mayest  know  that  there  is 
none  like  unto  the  Lord  om*  God. 

11  And  the  frogs  shall  depart  from 
thee,  and  from  tliy  houses,  and  from  thy 
servants,  and  from  thy  jjeople ;  they  shall 
remain  in  the  river  only. 

12  11  And  Moses  and  Aaron  went  out 
from  Pharaoh  ;  and  Moses  i<  cried  unto 
the  Lord,  because  ot'tlie  frogs  which  he 
had  brought  against  Piiaraoh. 


13  And  the  Lord  did  i  according  to 
the  word  of  Moses ;  and  the  frogs  died 
out  of  the  houses,  out  of  the  villages, 
and  out  of  the  fields. 

14  And  they  gathered  them  together 
upon  t  heaps  ;  and  the  land  ■"  stank. 

15  But  when  Pharaoh  saw  that  there 
was  n  respite,  he  f  hardened  his  heart, 
and  hearkened  not  unto  them ;  as  the 
Lord  had  said. 

16  U  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Say  unto  Aaron,  Stretch  out  thy  °  rod, 
and  smite  the  dust  of  the  land,  that  it 
may  become  lice  throughout  all  the  land 
of  Egypt. 

17  And  they  did  so :  for  Aaron  stretch- 
ed out  his  hand  with  his  rod,  and  smote 
the  dust  of  the  earth,  and  it  became  Plice 
in  man  and  in  beast ;  all  the  dust  of  the 
land  became  lice  throughout  all  the  land 
of  Egjpt. 

18  And  the  magicians  did  so  with 
their  inchantments  to  bring  forth  lice, 
but  they  i  could  not :  so  there  were  bee 
upon  man  and  upon  beast. 

19  Then  the  magicians  said  unto  Pha- 
raoh, This  is  the  "  finger  of  God  :  and 
Pharaoh's  heart  was  hardened,  and  he 
hearkened  not  unto  them  ;  as  the  Lord 
had  said. 

20  If  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Rise  up  early  in  ti.e  morning,  and  stand 
before  Pharaoh  (lo,  he  comeih  forth  to 
the  water)  and  say  unto  him.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord,  Let  my  people  go,  that  they 
may  serve  me  : 

21  Else,  if  thou  wilt  not  let  my  people 
go,  behold,  I  will  send  swarms  of' flies 
upon  thee,  and  upon  thy  servants,  and 
upon  thy  people,  and  into  thy  houses  ; 
and  the  houses  of  the  Egyptians  shall  be 
full  of  II  swarms  of  flies,  and  also  the 
ground  whereon  they  are. 

22  And  I  will  sever  in  that  day  the 
land  of  Goshen,  in  which  my  people 
dwell,  that  no  swarms  of  flies  shall  be 
there ;  to  the  end  thou  mayest  know  that 
I  a?«,the  Lord  in  the  midst  of  the  earth. 

23  And  I  will  put  a  division  between 
my  people  and  thy  people :  to-morrow 
shall  this  sign  be. 

24  And  the  Lord  did  so  :  and  there 
came  a  grievous  swarm  of  flies  into  the 
house  of  Pharaoh,  and  into  his  servants' 
houses,  and  into  all  the  land  of  Egypt ; 
the  land  was  corrupted  by  reason  of  the 
swarm  of  flies. 

25  %  And  Pharaoh  called  for  Moses, 
and  for  Aaron,  and  said,  Go  ye,  sacrifice 
lo  your  God  in  the  land. 

26  And  Moses  said,  It  is  '  not  meet  so 
to  do  ;  for  we  shall  sacrifice  the  abomi- 
nation of  the  Egyptians  to  the  Lord  our 
God  :  lo,  sliall  we  sacrifice  the  '  abomi- 
nation of  the  Egyptians  before  their 
eyes,  and  "  w  ill  they  not  stone  us  ? 

27  We  will  go  three  days'  journey  into 
the  wilderness,  and  sacrifice  to  the  Lord 
our  God,  as  he  shall  ^  command  us.

5  And  the  Lord  ^  appointed  a  set

shall  do  this  thing  in  the  land. 

6  And  the  Lord  did  that  thing  on 
the  morrow,  and  r  all  the  cattle  of  Egypt 
died :  but  of  the  cattle  of  the  children 
of  Israel  died  not  one. 

7  And  Pharaoh  sent,  and,  behold, 
there  was  not  one  of  the  cattle  of  the  Is-

26  Only  in  the  land  of  Goshen,  where 
the  children  of  Isr;iel  were,  was  there  ^ 
no  hail. 

27 II  And  Pharaoh  sent,  and  called  for 
Moses  and  Aaron,  and  said  unto  them, 
•^  I  have  sinned  this  time  ;  the  Lord 
is  righteous,  and  I  and  my  people  are 
wicked. 

28  '*  Entreat  the  Lord  (for  it  is 
enough)  that  there  be  no  more  mighty 
f  thunderings  and  hail ;  and  I  will  let 
you  go,  and  ye  shall  stay  no  longer. 

29  And  Moses  said  unto  him,  As  soon 
as  I  am  gone  out  of  tlie  city  I  will 
spread  abroad  "^  my  hands  unto  the 
Lord  ;  and  the  thunder  shall  cease, 
neither  shall  there  be  any  more  hail  ; 
that  thou  mayest  know  how  that  the  f 
earth  is  the  Lord's. 

30  But  as  for  thee  and  thy  servants, 
I  know  that  ye  will  g  not  yet  fear  the 
Lord  God. 

31  And  the  flax  and  the  barley  was 
smitten  ;  for  tlie  barley  was  in  the  ear, 
and  the  tlax  ivas  boiled. 

32  But  the  wheat  and  the  rye  were 
not  smitten  ;  for  they  were  f  not  grown 
up. 

33  And  Moses  went  out  of  the  city 
from  Pliaraoh,  and  spread  abroad  his 
hands  unto  the  Lord  ;  and  the  thun- 
ders and  Iiail  ^  ceased,  and  the  rain  was 
not  poured  upon  the  earth. 

34  And  when  Pharaoh  saw  that  the 
rain,  and  tlie  hail,  and  the  thunders, 
were  ceased,  he  sinned  yet  more,  and 
■  iiardened  iiis  heart,  lie  and  his  ser- 
vants. 

25  And  the  heart  of  Pharaoh  was 
hardened,  neither  would  he  let  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel  go  ;  as  the  Lord  had  spo- 
ken by  Moses.

And  he  turned  himself,  and  went  out 
from  Pharaoh.

20  But  the  Lord  b  hardened  Pha-

let  your  flocks  and  your  herds  be  stay-

1711  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Pha- 
raoh bad  let  the  people  .50,  that  God 
led  them  not  through  y  the  way  of  the 
land  of  the  Pliilistines,  although  that 
•was  near;  for  God  said,  Lest  peradven- 
ture  the  people  repent  when  they  ^  see 
war,  and  they  return  to  Egypt  : 

18  But  God  led  the  people  about, 
through  the  ^  way  of  the  wilderness  of 
the  Red  sea:  and  the  children  of  Israel 
went  up  f  harnessed  out  of  the  land  of 
Eg)pt. 

19  And  Moses  took  the  ^  bones  of 
Joseph  with  him  ;  for  he  had  straitly 
sworn  the  children  of  Israel,  saying, 
God  will  surely  visit  you ;  and  ye  shall 
carry  up  my  bones  away  hence  with 
you. 

20  ^  And  they  took  their  journey 
from  Succoth,  and  encamped  in  Etham, 
in  the  edge  of  the  wilderness. 

21  And  the  Lord  '^  went  before  them 
by  day  in  <i  a  pillar  of  a  cloud,  to  lead 
them  the  way ;  and  by  night  in  a  pillar 
of  «  fire,  to  give  them  light,  to  go  by 
day  and  niglit. 

22  He  took  not  away  the  pillar  of  the 
cloud  by  day,  nor  the  pillar  of  fire  by 
night, y/07?i.  before  the  people.

1  God  iiistructefh  the  Israelites  in  their 
journey  :  2\.  they  pass  through  the  Red 
sea.     26  The  Egyptians  are  droiuned. 
AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Moses, 

saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Israel, 
that  they  turn,  and  encamp  *  before  Pi- 
hahiroth,  between  Migdol  and  the  sea, 
over  against  ^  Baal-zephon ;  before  it 
shall  ye  encamp  by  tiie  seat 

3  For  Pharaoh  will  say  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  They,  are  <^  entangled  in 
the  land,  the  wilderness  hath  shut  them 
in. 

4  And  I  will  ^  harden  Pharaoh's 
heart,  that  he  shall  follow  after  them  ; 
and  I  will  «be  honoured  upon  Pharaoh, 
and  upon  all  his  lio-st  ;  that  the  Egyp- 
tians may  know  that  I  a7n  the  Lord. 
And  they  did  so. 

5  If  And  it  was  told  the  king  of  Egypt 
that  the  people  ^  fled  :  and  the  heart  of 
Pharaoh  and  of  his  servants  was  turned 
against  the  people,  and  they  said,  ?  Why 
have  we  done  this,  that  we  have  let 
Israel  go  from  serving  us  ? 

6  And  he  made  ready  his  chariot,  and 
took  his  people  with  him. 

7  And  he  took  six  hundred  ^  chosen 
chariots,  and  all  the  chariots  of  Egypt, 
and  captains  over  every  one  of  them. 

8  And  the  Lord  hardened  tlielieart 
of  Pharaoh  king  of  Eg-ypt,  and  he  pur- 
sued after  the  children  of  Israel  :  and 
the  children  of  Israel  went  out  with  an  ■ 
higl)  hand. 

9  But  the  Egyptians  ^  pursued  after 
them,  all  the  horses  aw/ cliaj-iots  of 
Pharaoh,  and  his  horsemen  and  his  ar-

10  ^  And  when  Pharaoh  drew  nigh, 
thechiidren  of  Israel  lifted  up  their  eyes, 
.•md,  behold,    the   Egyptians   marched 
after  them  ;  and  they  were  '  sore  afraid  :  i  Mat.

12  Is  not  this  the  word  that  we  did 
tell  thee  in   Egypt,  saying,  "  Let  us„<.i,ap, 
alone,  that  we  may  serve  the  Egyptians?  6. 9, 
for  it  had  been  better  for  us  to  serve  the 
Egyptians  than  that  we  should  die  in 
the  wilderness. 

13  If  And  Moses  said  unto  the  people,

went  in  after  them  to  the  midst  of  the 
sea,  even  all  Pharaoh's  horses,  his  cha- 
riots, and  his  horsemen. 

24  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  in  the 
g  morning-watch,  the  Lord  '■  looked 
unto  the  host  of  the  Egyptians  through 
the  '  pillar  of  fire  and  of  the  cloud, 
and  k  troubled  the  host  of  the  Egjp- 
tiaos, 

25  And  took  off  their  chariot-wheels, 
that  they  drave  them  f  heavily  :  so 
that  the  Egyptians  said,  Let  us  flee 
from  the  face  of  Israel ;  for  the  I*drd 
fightethfor  them  against  the  Egyptians. 

26^  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
'  Stretch  out  thine  hand  over  the  sea, 
that  the  waters  may  "'  come  again  up- 
on the  Egyptians,  upon  their  chariots, 
and  upon  their  horsemen. 

27  And  Moses  stretched  forth  his  hand 
over  the  sea,  and  the  sea  returned  to 
his  strength  when  "  the  morning  ap- 
peared ;  and  the  Egyptians  fled  against 
it  ;  and  the  Lord  °  overthrew  the 
Egyptians  in  the  midst  of  the  sea. 

28  And  the  waters  returned,  and  co- 
vered the  chariots,  and  the  horsemen, 
and  all  the  host  of  Pharaoh  that  came 
into  the  sea  after  them  :  there  remain- 
ed? not  so  much  as  one  of  them. 

29  But  the  children  of  Israel  i  walked 
upon  dry  land  in  the  midst  of  the  sea  ; 
and  the  waters  luere  a  wall  unto  them 
on  their  right  hand,  and  on  their  left. 

30  Thus  the  Lord  saved  Israel  that 
day  out  of  the  hand  of  the  Egyptians  ; 
and  Israel  ^  saw  the  Egyptians  dead  up- 
on the  sea-shore. 

31  And  Israel  saw  that  great  work 
which  the  Lord  did  upon  the  Egyp- 
tians ;  and  the  people  feai:ed  the  Lord, 
and  s  believed  the  Lord,  and  his  ser-

Proverbrfor  to-day  is  a  sabbath  unto  the  Lord: 
to-day  ye  shall  not  find  it  in  the  field. 

26  Six  days  "ye  shall  gather  it;  but  on 
the  seventh  day,  wA/cA  ?sthe  sabbath,  in 
it  there  shall  h  be  none. 

27  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  there 
'  went  out  some  of  the  people  on  the  se- 
venth day  for  to  gather,  and  they  ^  found 
none. 

28  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
How  long  refuse  ye  to  keep  '  my  com- 
mandments and  my  laws  ? 

29  See,  for  that  the  Lord  hath  given 
you  the  sabbath,  therefore  he  giveth  you 
on  the  sixth  day  the  bread  of  two  days : 
abide  ye  ev:ery  man  in  his  place,  let  no 
man  go  «<  cut  of  his  place  on  the  seventh 
day. 

30  So  the  people  "  rested  on  the  se- 
venth day. 

31  And  the  house  of  Israel  called  the 
name  thereof  Manna:  and  it  laas  °  like 

"o'^s^and  coriander-seed,  white ;  and  the  taste  of 
it  vias  like  wafers  viaUe  with  honey. 

32  %  And  Moses  said,  This  is  the  thing 
which  the  Lord  commandeth.  Fill  an 
omer  of  it  to  be  kept  p  for  your  gene- 
rations ;  that  they  may  see  the  bread 
wherewith  I  have  fed  you  in  the  wilder- 
ness, when  I  brought  you  forth  from  the 
land  of  Eg)  pt. 

33  And  Moses  said  unto  Aaron,  Take 
^  a  pot,  and  put  an  omer  full  of  manna 
therein,  and  lay  it  up  '  before  the  Lord, 
to  be  kept  for  your  generations. 

34  As  the  Lord  commanded  Moses, 
so  Aaron  laid  it  up  before  the  Testimo- 
ny '  to  be  kept. 

35  And  the  children  of  Israel  did  f  eat 
manna  forty  years,  until  they  came  to  a 
land  inhabited:  they  did  eat  manna,  un- 
til they  came  unto  the  borders  of  the  land 
of  Canaan. 

36  Now  an  omer  is  the  tenth  part  of

12  If  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Mo-

13  Speak  thou  also  unto  the  children 
of  Israel,  saying.  Verily  my  sabbaths  ye 
shall  keep  :  for  it  is  a  sign  between  me 
and  you,  throughout  your  generations; 
k  that  ye  may  know  that  I  ain  tiie  Lord 
that  doth  sanctify  you. 

14  Ye  shall  keep  the  sabbath  there- 
fore ;  for  it  is  holy  unto  \ou.  Every 
one  that  defileth  it  shall  surely  be  put  lo 
deaili :  for  whosoever  doeth  any  work 
therein,  that  soul  shall  be  '  cut  ofi' from 
among  his  people. 

15  Six  days  may  work  be  done;  but 
in  the  seventh  is  Uie  sabbath  ™  of  rest, 
t  holy  to  the  Lord  :  whosoever  doeth 
any  work  in  the  sabbath-day,  he  shall 
surely  be  put  to  death. 

16  Wlierefore  the  children  of  Israel 
shall  keep  the  sabbath,  to  observe  the 
sabbath  throughout  tlieir  generations, 

for  "  a  perpetual  covenant. 

17  It  is  a  sign  between  »  me  and  the 
children  of  Israel  for  ever :  for  in  p  six 
days  the  Lord  made  heaven  and  earth, 
and  on  the  seventh  day  he  rested,  and 
was  refreshed. 

18  ^  And  he  gave  unto  Moses,  when 
he  had  made  an  end  of  communing  with 
him  upon  mount  Sinai,  two  tables  of 
testimony,  tables  of  s  stone,  written  with 
the  ■"  tiiiger  of  God. 

CHAP.  XXXII. 

1  The  people,  in  Moses^  absence,  cause 
Aaron  to  make  a  calf.  19  Moses 
breaketh  the  tables.  25  The  idolaters 
slain. 

AND  when  tlie  people  saw  that  Mo- 
ses ^  delayed  to  come  down  out  of  the 
mount,  the  people  gathered  themselves 
together  unto  Aaron,  and  said  imto  him, 
''Up,  make  us  '  gods,  which  shall  "  go 
before  us ;  for  as  Jot  this  Moses,  the  man 
that  brought  us  up  out  of  the  land  of  E- 
gj'pt,  we  wot  not  what  =  is  become  of 
him. 

2  And  Aaron  said  unto  them.  Break 
off  the  *  golden  ear-rings  which  are  in 
the  ears  of  your  wives,  of  your  sons,  and 
of  your  daughters,  and  bring  them  unto 
me. 


3  And  all  the  people  g  brake  off  the 
golden  ear-rings  which  v:ere  in  their 
ears,  and  brought  them  unto  Aaron. 

4  And  he  received  thevi  at  their  hand, 
and  fashioned  it  with  a  graving  tool, 
after  he  had  made  it  a  ^  molten  calf  : 
and  they  said.  These  be  '  thy  gods,  O 
Israel,  which  brought  thee  up  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt. 

5  And  when  Aaron  saw  it  he  built  an 
altai-  before  it ;  and  Aaron  made  proc- 
lamation, and  said.  To-morrow  is  a  •< 
feast  to  the  Lord. 

6  Ajid  they  rose  up  early  on  the  mor- 
row, and  ottered  burnt-offerings,  and 
brought  peace-offerings:  and  the  people 
1  sat  down  to  eat  and  to  di'ink,  and  rose 
up  to  play. 

7  H  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
">  Go,  get  thee  down  ;  for  thy  «  people, 
which  thou  broughtest  out  of  the  land 
of  Egypt,  have  »  corrupted  themselves  ; 

8  They  have  p  turned  aside  quicklj 
out  of  the  way  which  I  commanded 
them  :  they  have  made  them  a  molten 
calf,  and  have  worshipped  it,  and  have 
s  crificed  thereunto,  and  said.  These  be 
th)  gods,  O  Lrael,  which  have  brought 
Ihee  up  out  of  the  land  of  Egypt. 

9  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses,  I 
have  seen  this  people,  and,  behold,  it  is 
a  q  stifi'-necked  people  : 

10  Now,  therefore,  '^  let  me  alone, 
that  my  wrath  may  wax  hot  against 
them,  and  that  I  raay  consume  them  ; 
and  I  will  make  of  thee  ^  a  great  nation. 

11  ^  And  Moses  besought  the  Lord 
bis  God,  and  said.  Lord,  =:  why  doth 
thy  wrath  wax  hot  against  thy  people, 
which  thou  hast  brought  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  Egypt,  with  great  power, 
and  with  a  mighty  hand  ? 

12  "  Wherefore  should  the  Egyptians 
speak,  and  say.  For  mischief  did  he 
bring  them  out,  to  slay  them  in  the 
mountains,  and  to  consume  them  from 
the  face  of  the  earth  ?  Turn  from  thy 
fierce  wratli,  and  "  repent  of  this  evil 
against  thy  people. 

13  y  Remember  Abraham,  Isaac,  and 
Israel,  thy  servants,  lo  whom  thou 
swarest  ^  by  thine  ov.n  self,  and  saidst 
unto  them,  ^  I  will  multiply  your  seed 
as  the  stars  of  heaven  ;  and  all'thisland 
that  I  have  spoken  of  will  I  give  unto 
your  seed,  and  they  shall  inhei'it  it  for 
ever. 

14  And  the  ^  Lord  repented  of  the 
evil  which  he  thought  to  do  unto  his 
people. 

15  ^  And  Moses  turned,  and  went 
down  from  the  "^  mount,  and  the  two 
tables  of  the  testimony  \;trc  in  his  hand: 
tiie  tables  %:ere  written  on  both  their 
sides  ;  on  the  or.e  side  and  '^  on  tlie  other 
tvere  they  written.

Moses  Breaieth  the  tabUs. 


Before  of  the  people  as  they  shouted,  he  said 
Uiilo  Moses,  There  is  a  noise  ot  war  in

18  Aiidhe  said.  It  is  not  the  voice  of

it  the  voice  of  t/iem  that  cry  for  being

19  11  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  soon  as 
he  came  nigh  unto  the  camp,  that  he 
saw  the  calf,  and  the  dancing :  and

had  made,  and  burnt  it  in  the  fire,  and 
>  ground  it  to  powder,  and  strewed  it 
^  upon  the  water,  and  made  the  children 
of  Isniel '  drink  of  it. 

21  "i[  And  Moses  said  unto  Aaron, 
What  did  tliis  people  nnto  thee,  that 
thou  liast  brought  so  great  a  sin  upon 
them  ? 

22  And  Aaron  said.  Let  not  the  an-

TM  Psalm  the  people,  that  they"  are  £ef  on  mischief. 
.?6. 4.  23  For  llicy  said  unto  me.  Make  us

1  John     for  this  Moses,  the  man  that  brought  us

wiiat  is  becf»meof  him. 

24  And  I  said  unto  them.  Whosoever 
hath  any  gold,  let  them  break  /(  oft'. 
So  tliey  gave  it  me  :  then  I  cast  it  into 
the  fire,  and  there  ■''  came  out  this  calf. 

25  *[  And  when  Moses  saw  that  the 
people  Ks'ere  °  naked  (for  Aaron  had 
made  ihf-m  naked  p  unto  their  sliame 
among  f  their  enemies,) 

26  Then  Moses  qstoxl  in  the  gate  of 
the  canip,  and  said,  ^  Who  is  on  the 
Lord's  side?  let  him  cuine  unto  me. 
And  all  the  ^  sons  of  Levi  gathered 
themselves  together  unto  him. 

27  And  he  said  unto  them.  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  Put  every  man 
his  sword  by  liis  side,  and  go  in  and  out 

f  2  Kings  from  gate  to  gate  throughoiit  the  camp, 
and '  Slav  every  man  his  brother,  ai:d 
every  man  liis  companion,  and  every 
man  iiis  neighbour. 

28  And  the  chilcb-en  of  Levi  did  ac- 
cording to  the  word  of  Moses  :  and 
there  ii-'llofthe  people  that  day  about 
"three  thousand  men. 

29  For  Moses  had  said,  >•■  Consecrate 
3'oiirselves  to-day   to  the   Lord,  even 

Proverbs  every  man  upon  his  y  son,  and  uptm  his 
21.  3.  brother  ;  that  he  may  bestow  upon  you

21  And  he  brought  the  ark  into  the

23  A.ncl  he  set  the  y  bread  in  order 
upon  it,  before  llie  Lord;  as  the  Lord 
had  commanded  Moses. 

24  li  And  he  put  the  ^  candlestick  in

nianded  Moses.  ^°'  ^' 

30  1[  And  he  set  the  « laver  between  echap.

34  II  Then  a  'cloud  covered  the  tent  21.27.

of  the' peace -offerings.    22  The  fat  and

LIKEWISE  this  is  the  law  of  ^he

2  In  the  <^  place  where  they  kill  the 
burnt-ofi'ering  shall  they  kill  the  trespass-

trespass-offering;  there  is  one  lav.-  for 
them  :  the  priest  that  maketh  atone, 
ment  therewith  shall  have  it.

1  The  laves  and  tokens  i-.ihereby  the  priest 
is  to  be  guided  in  disceniirg  the  leprosy 
in  men,  47  or  in  a  garment. 
AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Moses 

and  A'uv-n,  saying, 

2  ^VMlen  a  man  sliall  have  in  the  skin 
of  his  tiesh  a  lising,  ^a  scab,  or  *^brigl;t 
spot,  and  it  be  in  the  skin  of  his  ilesh 
like  the  ■=  plague  of  leprosy;  then  he 
shall  be  brought  unto  Aaron  the  priest, 
or  unto  one  of  his  sons  the  priests. 

3  And  '•  the  priest  shall  look  on  the 
plague  in  the  skin  of  tiie  Hesh,  and  iidien 
the  hair  in  the  plague  is  turned  «  white, 
and  the  plague  in  sigiit  be  'deeper than 
the  skm  of  his  Hesh,  it  is  a  plague  of 
leprosy  :  and  the  priest  shall  look  on 
him,  and  f  pronounce  him  unclean. 

4  If  the  bright  spot  be  white  in  the 
skin  of  his  flesh,  and  in  sight  be  not 
deeper  than  the  skin,  and  the  hair  there- 
of be  not  turned  white  :  then  the  priest 
shall  shut  up  ?  hivi  that  hath  the  plague 
seven  days. 

5  And  the  priest  shall  look  on  him 
the  seventii  day  :  and,  behold,  if  the 
plague  in  his  sight  be  at  a  stay,  and  the 
plague  spread  not  in  the  skin  ;  then  the 
priest  shail  shut  him  up  seven  days 
more. 

6  And  the  priest  shall  look  on  him 
again  the  seventh  day  :  and,  behold,  if 
the  plague  be  somewhat  dark,  and  the 
plague  spread  not  in  the  skin,  the  priest 
sliall  pronounce  him  clean  ;  it  is  but  a 
scab  :  and  he  shall  !'  wash  his  clothes, 
and  be  clean. 

7  But  if  tlie  scab  ■  spread  much  abroad 
in  the  skin,  after  that  he  hath  been  seen 
of  the  priest  for  his  cleansing,  he  shall 
be  seen  of  the  priest  again. 

8  And  //^the  priest  see,  that,  behold, 
the  scab  ^  spreadeth  in  the  skin  ;  then 
the  priest  shall '  pronounce  him  unclean ; 
it  is  a  le(>r'osy. 

9  fl  When  the  plague  of  leprosy  is  in 
a  man,  then  he  shall  be  brought  unto 
the  priest; 

10  And  the  priest  shall  see  him:  and, 
behold,  if  tlie  rising  lit  white  in  the 
skin,  and  it  have  turned  the  hair  white, 
and  there  be  '»  quick  raw  Hesh  in  the 
rising ; 

11  It  is  an  old  leprosy  in  the  skin  of 
his  flesh ;  and  the  priest  shall  pronounce 
him  unclean,  and  shall  not  shut  him  up  : 
for  he  is  unclean. 

12  And  if  a  leprosy  break  out  abroad 
in  the  skin,  and  the  leprosy  cover  all  the 
skin  ■>  oi  him  that  hath  the  plague,  fmm 
his  head  even  to  his  foot,  wheresoever 
the  priest  looketh  ; 


13  Then  the  priest  shall  considc  r :  and, 
biho'nt,  {/the  lejjrosy  have  covered  all 
his  tl  sh,  he  shall  f  pronounce  him  cle.Mn 
that  hath  -the  pl;»gue :  it  is  all  turned 
white  :  he  is  clean. 

14  But  when  raw  flesh  appeareth  in 
him,  he  shall  be  unclean. 

15  And  the  priest  shall  see  the  raw 
flesh,  and  pronounce  him  to  be  unclean  ; 
for  t'le  raw  flesh  is  unclean  :  it  is  "  a 
leprosy. 

16  Or  if  the  raw  flesh  turn  again,  and 
be  changed  unto  white,  he  shall  con\<. 
unto  tiie  priest ; 

17  Aid  the  priest  shall  see  him,  and, 
behold,  if  the  plague  be  turned  into 
white ;  then  the  priest  shall  pronounce 
him  clean  that  liath  the  plague ;  he  is 
clean. 

18  ^  The  flesh  also,  in  which,  even  in 
tlie  skin  thereof,  was  ||  a  bile,  and  p  is 
healed ; 

19  And  in  the  place  of  the  bile  there 
be  a  white  rising,  or  a  bright  spot  white, 
and  somewhat  reddish,  and  it  be  shewed 
to  the  priest; 

20  And  if,  when  the  priest  seeth  it, 
behold,  it  be  in  sight  lower  tlian  the 
skin,  and  the  hair  thereof  be  turned 
white,  tlie  priest  shall  pronounce  him 
unclean  :  it  is  a  plague  of  leprosy  i 
broken  out  of  the  bile. 

21  But  if  the  priest  look  on  it,  and, 
beliold,  there  be  no  white  hairs  therein, 
and  if  it  be  not  lower  than  the  skin,  but 
be  somewhat  dark;  then  the  priest  shall 
shut  him  up  seven  days. 

22  And  if  it  spread  much  abroad  in 
the  skin,  then  the  priest  shall  pronounce 
him  unclean  :  it  is  a  plague. 

23  But  if  the  bright  spot  stay  in  his 
place,  and  spread  not,  it  is  a  burning 
bile;  and  the  priest  shall  pronounce  him 
clean. 

24  %  Or  if  there  be  any  flesh,  in  the 
skin  whereof  there  is  r  a  hot  j  burning, 
and  the  quick  J?es/i  that  burneth  have  a 
s  white  bright  spot,  somewhat  reddish 
or  white  ; 

25  Then  the  priest  shall  '  look  upon 
it ;  and,  behold,  //"the  hair  in  the  bright 
spot  be  turned  white,  and  it  be  in  sight 
deeper  than  the  skin,  it  is  a  leprosy 
broken  out  of  the  burning  :  wherefore 
the  priest  shall  pronounce  him  unclean  ; 
it  is  the  plague  of  leprosy. 

26  But  if  the  priest  look  on  it,  and, 
behold,  tJiere  be  no  white  hair  in  the 
bright  spot,  and  it  be  no  lower  than  the 
other  skin,  but  be  somewhat  dark  ;  then 
the  priest  sliall  ■'  shut  him  up  seven  days. 

27  And  the  priest  shall  look  upon  him 
the  seventh  day :  and  if  it  be  spread 
X  much  abroad  in  the  skin,  then  the 
priest  shall  pronounce  him  unclean  :  it 
is  the  plague  of  leprosy. 

28  And  if  the  bright  spot  stay  in  his 
place,  and  y  spread  not  in  the  skin,  but  it 
be  somewhat  dark  ;  it  is  a  rising  of  the

45  So  were  all  those  that:  were  num- 
bered of  the  children  of  Israel,  by  the 
house  of  their  fathers,  from  twenty  years 
old  and  upward,  all  that  were  able  to  go 
forth  to  war  in  Israel ; 

46  Even  all  tliey  that  were  num- 
bered, were  p  six  hundred  lhou.sand  and 
three  thousand  and  five  hundred  and 
faty. 

4r  %  But  the  q  Levites,  after  the  tribe 
of  their  fathers,  were  not  numbered 
among-  them. 

48  For  tlie  Lord  had  spoken  unto 
Moses,  savin"-, 

49  Only  thou  shalt  not  number  the 
tribe  of  Levi,  neither  take  the  sum  of 
them  among-  the  children  of  Israel; 

50  But  thou  shalt  appoint  the  Levites 
over  the  ''  tabernacle  of  testimony,  and 
overall  the  vessels  tliereof,  and  over  all 
things  that  belong  to  it :  they  shall «  bear 
the  tabernacle,  and  all  the  vessels  th.ere- 
of,  and  they  shall  minister  unto  it,  and 
shall  encamp  round  about  the  taberna- 
cle. 

51  And  when  the  tabernacle  '  setteth 
forward,  the  Levites  sh;dl  take  it  down; 
and  when  the  tabernacle  is  to  be  pitched, 
the  Levites  sliall  set  it  up :  and  the  " 
stranger  that  cometh  nigh  shall  be  "  put 
to  death. 

52  And  the  children  of  Israel  shall 
pitch  their  tents,  every  man  by  his  own 
camp,  and  every  man  by  his  own  y 
standard,  throughout  their  hosts. 

53  But  the  Levites  shall  pitch  round 
about  the  tabernacle  of  testimony,  that 
there  be  ^  no  wrath  upon  the  congrega- 
tion of  the  ciiildren  of  Israel  :  and  the 
Levites  shall  keep  the  ^  charge  of  the 
tabernacle  of  testimony. 

54  And  the  children  of  Israel  did  ac- 
cording to  ^  all  that  the  Lord  com- 
manded Moses,  so  did  they.

fore 'he  tabernacle  of  the  congregation;

11  And  Moses  said  unto  the  Lord, 
Wherefore  hast  thou  p  afflicted  thv  ser- 
vant ?  and  wherefore  have  I  not  i  found 
favour  in  thy  sig-ht,  that  thou  laver.t  f 
tl>e  burden  of  all  this  people  upon  me  ? 

12  Huve  I  conceived  all  this  people  .' 
have  I  begotten  them,  that  thoushould- 
est  say  unto  me,  Carry  them  in  thy  « 
bosom  (as  a  fnursing--iather  bcareth  the 
suckincr  child)  unto  the  lanrl  which  thou 
swarest  unto  their  fathers  .' 

13  «  Whence  should  I  have  flesh  to 
give  unio  all  this  people  ?  for  they  weep 
unto  me,  saying.  Give  us  flesh,  that  we 
may  eat. 

14  I  am  not  able  to  bear  all  this  people 
alone,  because  it  is  too  i^eavy  for  me. 

15  And  if  thou  deal  thus  i\  ilh  me,  kill 
me,  I  pray  thee,  out  of  hand,  if  I  have 
found- favour  in  thy  sight;  and  let  nie 
not  see  my  "  wretchedness. 

16^  And  the  Lord  s;iidunlo  Moses, 
Gather  unto  me  y  se\enty  men  of  the 
elders  of  Isi-ael,  whom  thou  knowesi  to 
be  the  elders  of  the  people,  and  ^  oflicers 
over  Ihem  ;  and  bring  ihem  unto  the 
tabernacle  of  the  congregation,  that 
they  may  stand  there  with  thee. 

17  And  1  will  come  »  down,  and  talk 
with  thte  there  :  and  1  will  •>  take  of 
the  spirit  which  is  upon  thee,  and  will 
put  it  upon  th.em  ;  ■=  and  they  shall  bear 
the  burden  of  the  people  with  th.ee, 
that  thou  bear  it  not  thyself  alone. 

18  And  say  thou  unto  the  people,  Sanc- 
tify yourselves  against  to-morrow,  and 
ye  shall  eat  fl.esh  :  (.<*  for  ye  have  wept 
in  the  ears  of  the  Lord,  saving,  Who 
sliail  give  us  flesh  to  eat '  for  it  luas 
well  with  us  in  Egypt:)  therefore  the 
L  o  rd  will  give  you  flesh, and  ye  sliall eat. 

19  Ye  shall  not  eat  one  day,  nor  two 
days,  nor  five  days,  neither  ten  days  nor 
tweniy  days ;

have  despised  the  Lord  which  is  among 
you,  and  have  wept  before  him,  saying, 
Wl)y  came  we  forth  out  of  Egypt  ?

among  whom  I  am,  are  '  six  hundred

I  will  give  them  flesh,  that  they  may 
eat  a  wli';le  month  :

sluilt  see  now  whetlier  my  word  shall 
come  to  pass  unto  thee  or  not.

^^90^  -a^'on  of  the  children  of  Israel,  unto  the 
wilderness  of  u  Pur.m,  to  "  Kudt-sh ;  and 
brought  back  word  unto  them,  and  unto 
all  the  congregation,  and  shewed  them 
the  fruit  of  the  land. 

27  And  the)-  told  him,  and  said,  We 
came  unto  the  land  whither  thou  sent- 
est  us,  and  surely  v  it  floweth  w  ith  milk 
and  honey ;  and  tiiis  is  the  fruit  of  it. 

28  Nevertheless  the  people  be  strong 
that  dwell  in  the  land,  and  the  cities

there. 

29  The  b  Ama'.ekites  dwell  in  the  land

Jebusites,  and  the  Amorites,  dwell  in 
the  <<  mountains  ;  and  the  Canaanites 
dwell  by  the  sea,  and  by  the  coast  of 
Jordan. 

30  And  e  Caleb  stilled  tlie  people  be- 
fore Moses,  and  said.  Let  us  go  up  at 
once  and  possess  it;  for  'we  are  well 
able  to  overcome  it. 

31  But  the  ?■  men  tliat  went  up  with 
him  said,  VVe  be  not  able  to  go  up  a- 
gainst  the  people  ;  for  they  are  stronger 
tiian  we. 

32  And  they  brought  up  "  an  evil  re- 
port of  the  land  which  they  had  search- 
ed unto  the  children  of  Israel,  saying. 
The  land,  through  which  we  have  gone 
to  search  it,  is  a  land  that  '  eatetlj  up 
tlie  inhabitants  thereof;  and  all  the  peo- 
ple that  we  saw  in  it  are  ^  men  of  a  great 
stature, 

33  And  there  we  saw  the  giants,  the 
sons  of  Anak,  xi/tic/i  come  of  the  giants  ; 
and  we  were  in  our  own  siglit  as  '  grass-

42  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  con-

tlitir  rods.  &  Aaron's  rod  onl.'Jiour  is  bet  h  ■

the  rebels. 

AND  the  Lord  spake  unto  Moses, 

saying, 

2  Speak  unto  the  children  of  Israel, 
and  lake  of  exery  one  of  them  »  a  rod, 
according  to  the  liouse  of  their  fathers, 
of  all  their  princes,  according  to  the 
house  of  tlicir  fatliers,  twe.ve  rods : 
write  thou  every  man's  name  upon  his 
rod. 

3  And  thou  shalt  write  Aaron's  name 
upon  the  rod  of  ^  Levi :  for  "^  one  rod 
shall  be  for  tiie  head  of  thL-  house  of 
their  fat.hers. 

4  yVnd  thou  shalt  lay  them  up  in  the 
tabernacle  of  tlie  congregation,  "^  before 
tlie  testimony,  « where  I  will  meet  witi 

)0U. 

5  And  it  shall  come  to  pas?,  that  the 
m;ui's  i-od  v.  horn  I  sh:^!  choose  shall  = 
blossom ;  and  I  will  make  to  cease  from 
me  the  murmnrings  of  the  children  of 
Israel,  whereby  they  murmur  against 
you. 

6  ^  And  iSIoses  spake  unto  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  and  every  one  of  their 
princes  gave  him  a  rod  apiece,  f  for 
each  prince  one,  according  to  their  fa- 
thers' iiouses,fw;!  twelve  rods:  and  the 
rod  of  Aaron  ivas  among  their  rods. 

7  And  Moses  laid  Mp  the  rods  before 
the  Lord  in  the  t;ibernacle  of  witness. 

8  And  it  came  to  p.iss  that,  on  the 
morrow,  Moses  «  ent  into  the  tabernacle 
cf  witness  ;  and,  behold,  the  rod  of  Aa- 
ron, for  the  hoiisc  of  Levi,  was  budded, 
:ind  brought  forth  p  buds,  and  bloomed 
blossoms,  and  yielded  ''alir.onds. 

9  And  Moses  brought  out  all  the  rods 
from  '  befjrt  the  Lord  unto  a  I  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel :  and  they  looked,  and 
look  every  man  his  rod. 

10  ^  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Moses, 
Bring  Aaron's  rod  again  before  the  tes- 
t  mony,  to  be  ^  kepi  ibr  a  token  against 
ihe  t  rebels  ;  and  thou  shalt  quite  take

Uicy  die  not. 

11  And  Moses  did  so:  as  the  Lord 
commsmded  him,  so  did  he.

unto  Moses,  saving,  Behold,  we  i  die,

only  they  shall  not  come  nigh  the  ves-

neither  they  nor  ye  also  die. 

4  And  they  shall  be  joined  unto  thee,

that  there  be  no  '  wrath  any  more  upon

6  .A.nd  I,  behold  I,  have  ^  taken  your 
brethren  the  Levites  from  among  the 
children  of  Israel ;  to  you  thej  are  given 
as  a  gift  for  the  Lord,  to  do  the  service 
of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congregation. 

7  Therefore  thou  and  thy  sons  witji 
thee  shall  keep  your  priest's  office  for 
every  thing  of  the  altar,  and  '  within 
tlie  vail ;  and  ye  shall  serve :  I  have  given 
your  priest's  office  unto  you  aj  a  f  service 
of  gift ;  and  the  '"  stranger  that  cometh

d  ^f  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Aaron, 
Behold,  I  also  have  «  given  thee  the

9  This  shall  be  thine  of  the  i  most

of  theirs,  and  every  sin-olfering  of  their:,, 
and  every  trespass-offering  of  theirs, 
wliich  they  sliall  render  unto  me,  shall 
be  most  holy  lf)r  thee,  and  for  thy  sons. 

10  5  l!)  the  most  holy /j/ace  shall  thou 
eat  it;  every  t  male  shall  cat  it :  it  sliall 
be  holy  unto  thee. 

11  And  this  is  thine  ;  the  "  heave-of- 
fering of  their  gift,  with  all  the  "  wave- 
ott'erinp^  of  the  children  of  Israel :  I 
have  given  them  imto  thee,  and  to  thy 
sons,  and  to  thy  y  davighters  \vit!>  thee, 
by  a  statute  lor  ever  ;  every  one  that  is 
clean  in  thy  house  i^iiall  cat  of  it. 

12  All  the  best  of  the  oil,  and  all  the 
best  of  the  wine,  and  of  the  wheat,  the 


z  first-fruits  of  them,  which  they  shah 
offer  unto  the  Lord,  ti;em  have  I  given 
thee. 

13  Ami  whatsoever  is  first  ripe  in  the 
land,  which  they  shall  bring  unto  the 
Lord,  shall  be  thine  :  exery  one  that  is 
clean  in  thine  house  shall  »eat  o/'it. 

14  Every  thing  •>  devoted  in  Israel 
shall  be  thine. 

15  Every  thing  that  <=  openeth  the 
matrix  in  all  fiesh,  which  they  bring 
unto  the  Lord,  whether  it  be  of  men  or 
beasts,  shall  be  thine  :  iievertheUss  the

16  And  those  ih.at  ai'e  to  be  redeem-

de<"m,  according  to  thine  estimation,  for 
the  money  of  five  shekel^  after  the

for  an  ofFering  made  by  fire,  for  a  sweet 
savour  unto  the  Lord. 

18  And  the  fiesh  of  them  shall  be 
tliine,  as  the  wave-breast  and  as  the

19  All  the  '  heave-otferings  of  the  holy

of  salt  for  ever  before  the  Loud  unlo 
thee,  and  to  ihy  seed  w  itii  thee. 

20  And  the  Lord  spake  unto  Aaron, 
1  Thou  shalt  have  no  ■''  inheritance  in 
their  land,  neither  shale  thou  have  any 
n  part  among  their. :  I  irm  thy  °  pun, 
and  thine  inheritance,  among  the  ciiii- 
dren  of  Israel. 

21 1i  And,  behold,  I  have  given  the 
childicn  of  Le>'i  all  the  Ptenth  in  L.r..ei 
for  an  inheritance, f'jrtheir  service  w  hicli 
they  serve,  even  the  service  of  liie  taber- 
nacle of  t!ic  congTegatioi). 

22  Neil  iier  must  the  children  of  Israel 
hencc-f  )rtli  i  come  nig-li  tlie  labeniacL- 
of  ths  congregation,  lest  they  bear  sin 
anil  die. 

23  But  the  Levites  sh.iU  do  tlie  service 
>)f  tlie  tabernacle  of  the  congregation, 
and  they  shall  bear  r  their  iniquity.  It 
siiall  be  a  statute  for  ever  throughout 
your  generations,  that  among  tise  chil-

24  But  the  tithes  of  t!ie  children  of

5  And  wherefore  have  ye  made  us  to

seed,  or  of  figs,  or  vines,  or  of  pome- 
granates ;  neither  is  there  any  water  to

6  And  Moses  and  Aaron  went  from 
'  the  presence  of  the  assembly  unto  the 
door  of  the  tabernacle  of  the  congrega-

thou  shalt  give  the  congregation  and

9  And  Moses  took  the  rod  ^  from  be-

7  11  Therefore  the  people  came  to

upon  a  pole;  and  it  shall  come  lo  pass, 
that  every  one  that  is  liitten,  when  he  ^

10  And  the  Lord's  anger  was  kindled

11  Surely  'none  of  the  men  that  came  14'!  23!" 
up  out  of  Egypt,  from  twenty  years  old

cause our  inheritance  is  fallen  to  us  on

20  II  And  Moses  said  unto  them,  If  ye

21  And  will  go  "  all  of  you  armed  over

which  hath  '>  proceeded  out  of  jour

25  And  the  children  of  Gad,  and  the 
children  of  Reuben,  spake  unto  Moses, 
saying,  Tt-y  servants  will  do  as  my  lord

26  Oui  little  ones,  our  wives,  our

every  man  armed  to  bttile  before  the

31  And  the  children  of  Gad,  and  tlie

As  the  Lord  hath  said  unto  thy  ser-

52  We  will  pass  over  armed  before

1  Moses''  speech  at  the  end  of  thefortieth 
year,  6  in  which  he  briefly  re/iearseth 
the  story  of  God's  promise  to  Israel, 
34  and  his  anger  for  their  disobedience. 

THESE  be  the  words  which  Moses 
spake  unto  all  Israel  =>  on  this  side  Jor- 
dan  in  the  wilderness,  in  the  plain  over 
against  the  Red  sea,  between  ^  Paran, 
and  Tophel,  and  Laban,  and  Hazeroth, 
and  Dizahab. 

2  ( There  are  <=  eleven  days'  journe)' 
from  Horeb,  by  the  way  of  J  mount  Seir, 
unto  e  Kadesh-barnea.) 

3  And  it  came  to  pass  in  the  ^  fortieth 
year,  in  the  ?  eleventh  month,  on  the 
first  c/fly  of  the  month,  that  Moses  sp:.ke 
unto  the  children  of  Israel,  according 
unto  all  that  the  Lord  h.ad  given  him 
in  commandment  unto  them  ; 

4  After  he  had  slain  ^  Sihon  the  king 
of  the  Amorites,  which  dwelt  in  Hesh- 
bon,  and  Og  the  king  of  Bashan,  which 
dwelt  at  ■  Astaroth  in  Edrei ; 

5  On  this  side  Jordan,  in  the  land  of 
Moab,  began  Moses  to  declare  this  law, 
saying, 

6  ^[  The  Lord  our  God  spake  unto 
us  in  Horeb,  saying,  Ye  have  dwelt  ^ 
long  enough  in  this  mount: 

7  Turn  you,  and  take  your  journey, 
and  go  to  the  mount  of  the  Amorites, 
and  unto  all  the  places  nigh  thereunto, 
in  the  plain,  in  the  hills,  and  in  the  vale, 
and  in  the  south,  and  by  the  '  sea-side, 


.to  the  land  of  the  Canaanites,  and  unto 
I  Lebanon,  unto  the  great  river,  the  river 
j  Euphrates. 

I  8  Behold,  I  have  f  set  the  land  before 
\yu  :  go  in  and  possess  the  land  which 
j  the  Lord  sware  unto  your  fathers, 
I  Abraliam,  Isaac,  and  Jacob,  tt)  give  un- 
I  to  them,  and  to  '"  their  seed  after  them. 
I  9  %  And  I  spake  unto  \ou  at  "  that 
:  time,  saying,  I  am  not  able  to  bear  you 
j  myself  alone  ; 

i  10  The  Lord  your  God  hath  multi- 
1  plied  you,  and,  behold,  ye  are  this  day 
I  as  the  o  stars  of  heaven  for  multitude. 
I  11  (The  Lord  God  of  your  fathers  f 
\  make  you  a  thousand  times  so  many 
;  m'"re  as  ye  are,  and  bless  you,  as  he  hatii 
I  promised  you  !) 

■  12  How  can  I  myself  alone  bear  your 
p  ciimbrance,  and  your  burden,  and  your 
strife  ? 

13  <i  Take  you  wise  men,  and  f  un- 
derstanding, and  s  known  among  your 
! tribes,  and  I  will  make  them  <  rulers 
lover  you. 

I  14  And  ye  answered  me,  and  said, 
Tne  thing  which  thou  hast  spoken  is 
goad  for  us  to  do. 

15  So  I  took  the  chief  of  yotu*  tribes, 
wise  men,  and  known,  and  made  their 
heads  over  you,  captains  over  thousands, 
and  captains  over  hundreds,  and  cap- 
tains over  iifiies,  and  captains  over  tens, 
and  officers  among' your  tribes. 

16  And  I  charged  your  judges  at  that

The  history  of  Israel 
Before   between  every  man  and  his  brother,  and 

^"451^^  the  stranger  that  is  with  him. 

I  ^^  17  Ye  shall  not  f  respect  persons  in 
judgment,  but  ye  shall  hear  the  small 
as  well  as  the  "great ;  ye  shall  not  be 
afraid  of  the  face  of  man,  for  the  judg- 
ment x  is  God's  :  and  y  the  cause  that 
is  too  hard  for  you,  bring  it  unto  me, 
and  I  will  hear  it. 

18  And  I  commanded  you  at  that 
time^all  the  things  which  ye  should  do. 

19  If  And  when  we  »  departed  from 
Horeb,  we  went  through  all  that  great 
and  ^  terrible  wilderness,  which  ye  saw 
by  the  way  of  the   <^  mountain  of  the 

«*Mat'^'  Amorites,'as  the  Lore  oiu-  God  com- 
17. 4.  manded  us  ;  and  we  came  to  Kadesh- 
harnea 

20  And  I  said  unto  you.  Ye  are  come 
unto  the  mountain  of  the  Amorites, 
which  the  Lord  our  God  doth  give  un- 
to us. 

21  Behold,  the  Lord  thy  God  hath 
set  the  land  before  thee  ;  go  up  and 
possess  it,  as  the  Lord  God  of  thy  fa- 
thers hath  said  unto  thee ;  fear  not, 
neither  be  discouraged. 

22  ^  And  ye  came  near  unto  me  every 
one  of  you,  and  said.  We  will  send  men 
before  us,  and  they  shall  search  us  out 
the  land,  and  bring  us  word  again  by 
wliat  way  we  must  go  up,  and  into  what 
cities  we  shall  come. 

23  And  the  saying  <*  pleased  me 
well ;  and  I  took  twelve  menof  j'ou,  one 
of  a  tiibe. 

24  And  they  turned  and  went  up  into 
the  mountain,  and  came  unto  the  v^alley 
of  ^  Eshcol,  and  searched  it  out. 

25  And  they  took  of  the  f  fruit  of 
the  land  in  their  hands,  and  brought  it 
down  unto  us,  and  brought  us  word 
again,  and  said.  It  is  %  a  good  land  which 
the  Lord  our  God  doth  give  us. 

26  Notwithstanding  ye  would  not  go 
up,  but  •'  rebelled  against  the  command- 
ment of  the  Lord  your  God. 

27  And  ye  murmured  in  your  tents, 
and  said.  Because  the  Lord  '  hated  us, 
he  hath  brought  us  forth  out  of  the 
land  of  Egypt,  to  deliver  us  into  the 
hand  of  the  Amorites,  to  destroy  us. 

28  Whither  shall  we  go  up  ?  our 
brethren  have  t  discouraged  our  heari, 
saying,  The  people  is  greater  and  taller 

!.  11.  than  we ;  the  cities  are  great  and  wal- 
Gen.  jg^i  k  ^^p  ^^  heaven  :  and,  moreover,  we 
sumbers  have  seen  the  sons  of  the  '  Anakims 
there. 

29  Then  I  said  unto  you.  Dread  not, 
neither  be  afraid  of  them. 

30  The  Lord  your  G 'd,  which  goeth 
before  you,  he  shall  fight  for  you,  ac- 
cording to  all  that  he  did  for  you  in 
Egypt  before  your  eyes  ;

sumptuously up  into  the  hill.

of  the  vvilderness  :  these  forty  years  the  Lord 
th\'  God  hath  been  with  '  thee  ;  thou  hast

dwelt  in  Seir,  thr  ugh  the  way  of  the

and  tall  as  the  Anakims  ; 

11  Which  also  were  accounted  giants, 
as  the  Anakims  ;  but  the  Moabites  call 
tliem  Eroims. 

12  The  Horims  also  dwelt  in  Seir  be-

ceeded them,  when  they  had  destroyed 
them  from  before  them,  and  dwelt  in

13  Now,  rise  up,  said  I,  and  get  you

hortation to  'jfos/iua.   23  Moses  prayeth 
to  enter  into  the  land  of  Canaan  :   26  he 
is  permitted  only  to  see  it. 
THEN  we  turned,  and  went  up  the 
»  way  to  Bashan  ;  and  Og  the  king  of 
Bashan  came  out  against  us,  he  and  all 
his  people,  to  battle  at  Edrei. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Fear 
him  not ;  for  I  will  deUver  him,  and  all 
his  people,  and  his  land,  into  thy  hand  ; 
and  thou  shalt  do  unto  him  as  thou  didst 
unto  Sihon  king  of  the  Amorites,  which 
dwelt  at  ''  Heshbon. 

3  So  the  Lord  our  God  delivered  into 
our  hands  Og  also  the  king  of  Bashan, 
and  <:  all  his  people  ;  and  we  smote  him, 
until  none  was  left  to  him  remaining. 

4  And  we  took  all  his  cities  at  that 
time  ;  there  was  not  ^  a  city  wliich  we 
took  not  from  them,  threescore  cities, 
all  t  ^e  region  of  =  Argob,  the  kingdom 
of  Og  in  Bashan. 

5  All  these  cities  luere  fenced  with 
high  walls,  gates,  and  bars,  besides  ' 
unwalled  towns  a  great  many. 

6  And  we  utterly  destroyed  them,  as 
we  did  unto  Sihon  king  of  Heshbon,  s 
utterly  destroying  the  men,  wom'^n,  and 
children,  of  every  city. 

7  But  all  the  cattle,  and  the  spoil  of 
the  cities,  we  took  for  a  prey  to  our- 
selves. 

8  And  we  took  at  that  time,  out  of 
the  hand  of  the  two  kings  of  the  Amor-

thee  this  day,  shall  be  in  thine  ■<  heart.

of  them  when  thou  sittestin  thine  house, 
and  when  thou  walkest  by  the  way,  and 
when  thou  liest  down,  and  when  thou 
risest  up. 

8  And  thou  shalt  bind  them  for  a  sign 
upon  thine  hand,  and  they  shall  be  as 
1  frontlets  between  thine  eyes. 

9  And  thou  shalt  write  them  upon  the

which  thou  filledst  not,  and  wells  digged 
which  thou  diggedst  not,  vineyards  and

16 ^  Ye  shall  ° not  tempt  the  Lor d  your

19  (For  I  was  g  afraid  of  the  anger 
inulkotdispleasure  wherewith  the  Lord 
was  wroth  against  you  to  destroy  you.) 
But  the  Lord  hearkened  unto  me  at 
that  time  also, 

20  And  the  Lord  was  very  angry  '^ 
with  Aaron,  to  have  destroyed  him  : 
and  I  prayed  for  Aaron  also  the  same 
time. 

21  And  I  took 'your  sin,  the  calf  which 
ye  had  made,  and  burnt  it  with  fire,  and 
stamped  it,  and  ground  it  very  small, 
ewH  until  it  v,  as  as  small  as  dust :  and 
1  cast  the  dust  thereof  into  the  ^  brook 
that  descended  out  of  tlie  mount. 

22  And  at  '  Taberah,  and  at  ■•^  Mas- 
sah,  and  at  "  Kibroth-iiattaavah,  ye  pro- 
voked the  Lord  to  wrath. 

23  Likewise,  when  the  Lord  sent 
you  from  "  Kadesh-barnea,  saying.  Go 
up  and  possess  the  land  which  I  have 
given  you  ;  then  ye  rebelled  against  the 
f  comrjianilmentofthe  Lord  your  God, 
and  ye  believed  him  not,  nor  hearkened 
to  his  voice. 

24  Ye  have  been  rebellious  against 
the  Lord  from  the  day  that  p  I  knew 
you. 

25 Thus  I  q fell  downbefore  the  Lord 
forty  days  ai  d  forty  nights,  as  I  r  fell 
down  at  the  first ;  because  the  Lord 
had  said  he  would  destroy  you. 

261  prayed,  therefore, unto  the  Lord, 
and  SKid,  "O  Lord  God,  s  destroy  not  ' 
thy  people,  and  thine  "  inheritance, 
which  tliou  hast  redeemed  through  thy 
"  greatness,  wiiich  thou  hast  brought 
forth  out  of  Egypt  with  a  mighty  hand. 

27  Remember  y  thy  servants,  Abra- 
ham, Isaac,  and  Jacob  :  look  not  unto 
the  stubboinness  of  this  people,  nor  to 
tlieir  wickedness,  nor  to  their  sin  ; 

28  '^  Lest  the  land,  wlience  thou 
bioughtest  us  out,  say,  Because  the 
Lord  was  not  able  to  bring  them  into 
the  land  vi'liicii  he  promised  them,  and 
because  he  hated  them,  he  hath  brought 
them  out  to  slay  them  in  the  wilderness.

your  tribes,  and  your  ofiicers,  tlial  Imay 
speak  these  woids  in  their  ears,  and  s 
call  heaven  and  earth  to  record  against 
them. 

29  For  I  know  that  r  after  my  death 
ye  will  utterly  corrupt  yourselves,  and 
turn  aside  from  the  '  wa\  wliicli  I  iiave 
commanded  you ;  and  t  evil  will  befitl

do  evd  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  to  ,-ro- 
voke  him  to  anger  through  the  work  of 
your  hands. 

30  And  Moses  spake  in  the  ears  of  all 
the  congregation  of  Israel  the  words  of 
this  song,  until  they  were  ended. 

CHAP.  xxxn. 

1  The  Lord's  song  by  Moses,  Tohich  setteth 
forth  his  perfections :  44  tiie  people  ex- 
horted to  set  their  hearts  upon  it.     48 
Jiloses  viexveth  the  land  of  Canaan. 
GIVE  ear,  O  yc  heavens,  and  I  w ill 

speak  ;  and  hear,  O  ^  earth,  the  words 

of  my  mouth. 

2  My  doctrine  shall  ''  drop  as  the  rain, 
my  speech  shall  distil  as  the  dew ;  as  the 
small  i-ain  upon  tiie  tender  herb,  and  as 
the  <^  showers  upon  the  grass  : 

3  Because  I  will  publish  the  name  of 
the  Lord  ;  <i  ascribe  ye  greatness  unto 
our  God. 

4  He  is  the  <"  R.ock,  his  f  work  is  per- 
fect;  for  all  his  ways  are  judgment:  a 
God  of  truth,  and  t  without  iniquity,  just 
and  right  is  he. 

5  They  have  corrupted  themselves ; 
tiiCir  spot  is  not  the  spot  ^  of  his  chil- 
dren :  they  are  a  perverse  and  '  crooked 
generation. 

6  Do  ye  thus  i^ requite  the  Lord  ?  O 
foolish  people  and  unwise  I  is  not  he  '  thy 
father  f/inf  hatli  ^ bought  thee?  hath  he 
not  made  thee,  and  established  thee  r 

7  If  Remember  the  days  of  old,  con- 
sider the  years  of  many  generations  : 
ask  thy  father,  and  he  will  "  siiew  thee  ; 
thy  elders,  and  they  will  tell  thee  ; 

8  When  the  moit  High  °  divided  to 
the  nations  their  inheritance,  wiien  he 
separated  tlie  sons  of  Adam,  he  p  set 
the  bouncis  of  the  people  according  to 
the  number  of  the  children  of  Israel. 

9  For  the  Lord's  "J  portion  is  his  peo- 
ple; Jacob  is  the  lot  of  his  inheritance. 

10  •  He  found  him  In  a  s  desert  land, 
and  in  the  waste  howling  wilderness :  he 
led  him  about,  he  insinicicd  him,  he 
kept  him  as  the  'apple  of  liis  eje. 

11  As«an  "eagle  stirretli  up  her  nest, 
flutteretli  over  lier  young,  spreadeth 
abroad  her  >=  wings,  taketh  them,  bear- 
eth  them  on  her  wings  ; 

12  So  the  Lord  v  alone  did^lead  him, 
and  thae  'xas  no  strange  god  with  him. 

13  He  made  him  ride  on  the  =•  liigli 
places  of  the  earth,  that  he  might  e.it 
the  ii;crc;'!3C  of  llic  hclds;  oiid  be  made 


him  to  suck  honey  out  of  the  rock,  and    Before 
oil  out  of  the  tiii.ty  rock  ;  ^^il^^^ 

14  Butter  of  kine,  and  milk  of  ^^heep,  v^vO 
with  fat  of  lambs,  and  rams  of  the  breed 

of  Bashan,  and  goats,  with  the  fat  of 
kidneys  of  wheat,  and  tliou  didst  drink 
the  ^  pure  b!o(;d  of  the  grape.  b  Isaiah" 

15  \\  But  '^  Jeshurun  ^  waxed  fat,  and  ^•2- 

■:  kicked :  thou  art  v.axen  fat,  thou  ar.  14.  jg_ 
grown  thick,  thou  art  covered  tvithfat   cchap. 
7iess  ;  then  he  forsook  God  which  made  p'-^ 
him,  and  lighll}  esteemed  the  Rock  oi  44.2. 
his  salvation.  ^  ^eh. 

lb  Tiiey  provoked  him  to  ^  jealousv  I'lsl^tn 
with  strange   gods,   with    abominations  2. 29. 
provoked  they  him  to  anger.  /chap. 

17  They  sacrificed  unto  s  devils,  not  j^V Cor. 
to  God  ;  to  gods  wliom  they  knew  not,  H-  is. 
to  nev.  gods  that  came  newly  up,  whom 

jour  fatiitrs  feared  not. 

18  Of  tlie  Rock  that  begat  thee  thou 

art ''  unmindful,  and  hast  forgotten  God  A  Jer.

19  Arid  when  the  Lord  saw  it  he 

'  abliorred  them,  because  of  the  provok-  /Lani. 
ing  of  his  sons,  and  of  his  daughters.        2.  6. 

20  And  he  said,  I  uili  i^  liide  my  lace  *  Psahu-

21  They  have  moved  me  to  jealousy

w  ith  those  which  are  not  a  people,  I  will 

provoke  them  to  anger  with  a  '^  foolish  m  Rom,

22  For  "  a  fire  is  kindled  in  mine  an-  )i  Amos

of  the  mwuntains.

26  I  said,  I  would  scatter  them  into 
corners,  I  would  make  the  remembrance 
of  them  to  cease  from  among  men  : 

27  s  Were  it  not  that  I  feared   the  •?  Ezek.

NOW,  after  the  death  of  Moses,  » 
the  servant  of  the  Lord,  it  came  to  pass, 
that  the  Lord  °  sp;ike  unto  Joshua,  tlie 
son  of  Nun,  Moses' minister,  saj-ing-, 

2  Moses  my  servant  is  dead  :  now, 
tlierefore,  arise,  go  over  this  Jordan, 
thou,  and  all  this  people,  unto  the  land 
which  <^  1  do  give  to  tliem,  even  to  the 
children  of  Israel. 

3  li  Every  place  that  the  sole  of  your 
foot  shall  tread  upon,  that  have  I  given 
unto  you,  <*■  as  I  said  unto  Muse.s. 

4  From  the  =  u-ilderness,  and  this  ' 
Lebanon,  even  n.ito  the  great  river,  the 
river  s  Euphrates,  all  the  land  of  tJie 
Hittites,  and  unto  the  ^  great  sea,  to- 
ward the  going  down  of  the  sun,  shall  be 
your  coast. 

5  There  shall  not  any  man  be  able  to 
stand  t  before  thee  all  the  days  of  thy 
life.  As  I  was  with  Moses,  so  I  will  be 
with  tiiee  ;  I  will"  not  fail  thee,  nor  for- 
sake thee. 

6  ^-  Be  strong,  and  ofa  good  courage  ; 
for  unto  this  people  shall  thou  divide 
for  an  inheritance  the  land  which  I  s  ware 
unto  their  fatiiers  to  give  them. 

7  Only  be  thou  strong  and  very  cou- 
rageous, that  thou  may^St  observe  to  do 
according  to  i  all  the  law  which  Moses 
my  servant  commanded,  thee  :  turn  not 
from  it  to  ™  the  right  hatid  or  to  the  left, 
that  thou  mayest  ||  prosper  whitherso- 
ever thou  goest. 

8  This  book  of  the  law  shall  not  depart 
out  of  n  thy  mouth  ;  but  thou  shalt  ° 
meditate  therein  day  and  night,  that 
thou  mayest  observe  to  do  according  to 
all  that  is  uTitten  therein  :  for  then  thou 
shalt  make  thy  way  prosperous,  asd  then 
thou  shah  have  good  success. 

9  p  Have  not  I  commanded  thee  ?  Be 
strong,  and  of  a  good  courage  ;  be  not 
afraid,  neidier  be  thou  dismayed  :  q  for 
the  Lord  thy  God:,?  with  thee  whither- 
soever thon  goest. 

10  \\  ^  Then  Joshua  commanded  the 
officers  of  the  people,  saying, 

11  Pass  through  the  host  and  com- 
mand the  people,  saying, «  Prepare  you 
victuals ;  for  wittiin  three  days  ye  shall 
pass  over  this  Jordan,  to  go  in  to  possess 
the  land,  which  the  Lord  jour  God 
giveth  you  to  possess  it. 

12^  And  to  the  Reubenites,  and  to 
the  Gadites,  and  to  haif  the  tribe  of 
Manasseh,  spake  Joshua,  saying, 

13  Remember  the  word  which  Moses, 


the  servart  of  the  Lor.D,  commanded 
you,  saying.  The  Lord  your  God  ha'h 
civen  vou  rest,  and  h.ith  given  von  this 
iand.  ■ 

14  Your  wives,  your  little  ones,  and 
your  catfle,  shall  remain  in  the  land 
which  M')SPS  gave  you  on  this  side  Jor- 
dan ;  butye  shall  pass  before  your  breth- 
ren Ij  armed,  all  'lie  '  mighty  men  of  va- 
lour, 'in:i  help  them ; 

15  "  Until  tlie  Lord  have  given  your 
brethren  rest,  as  he  hath  given  you,  an 
thev  also  have  possessed  ihe  land  whict, 
the  Lord  }our  God  giveth  them  ;  thei: 
j'e  shall  return  unv.-  the  land  of  you: 
possession,  and  enjoy  it,  which  Mose.s, 
the  Lord's  servs.iU,  gave  you  on  this 
side  Jordan,  toward  the  sim-rising. 

16  ^[  And  they  answered  Joshua,  say- 
ing, =<  All  that  thou  commandest  us  we 
will  do,  and  whithersoever  thou  sende.-t 
us  we  will  go. 

17  According  as  we  hearkened  imto 
Moses  in  all  tilings,  so  « ill  we  hearke:; 

f;o  thee  :  y  only  tlie  Lord  thy  God

17  Ai'.dthe  men  said  unto  iicr.  We

2  Circtinicision  rcnexved.     10  The  pass- 
over  is  kept  at  Gilgal.     13    Tlie  Lord 
appeareth  to  Joshua. 
AND  it  came  to  pass,  v.  hen  all  the 
kirsgs  of  the  »  Amorites,  which  i^ere  on 
the  side  of  J  irdan  westward,  and  all  the 
kin,!;s  of  the  ^  Canaanites,  which  ^-cere  by 
the  sea,  heard  tiiat  the  Lorp  iiatl dried 
up  the  \v:>ters  of  Jordan  from  before  the 
children  of  Israel,  until  we  were  passed 
o\er,  that  their  <=  heart  melted  ;  neitlier 
'Aas  there  spirit  in  t!:em  snv  more,  be- 
cause of  the  children  of  Israel. 

2  tl  At  thattiire  the  Lord  said  unto 
Josliua,  Make  thee  f  sharp  knives,  and 
circumcise  ag-ain  the  children  of  Israel 
the  second  time. 

3  And  ^  Joshua  made  him  sharp 
knives,  and  circumcised  the  childi-en  of 
Israel  at  the  hill  of  the  foreskins. 

4  And  this  is  the  cause  why  Joshua 
didcircamcise  :  Allthe  people  th.it  came 
out  of  Egypt  that  vere  m;des,  even  all 
the  men  ol"war,  « died  in  the  wilderness 
by  the  way,  after  they  came  outnf  Efryjit. 

5  Now  all  the  peo))le  that  came  out 
Hebrews  werecircuinciscd ;  but  al!  t!ie  people  that 

vwie  -  born  in  the  wilderness  by  the  vray , 
as  ti:ey  carr.e  f-jrth  out  of  Eg\pt,  the»i, 
tiiev  had  not  circumcised. 

6  For  the  children  of  Israel  walked 
forty  years  in  the  wilderness,  till  all  the 
people  that  were  men  of  war,  which  came 
out  of  Egypt,  were  consumed,  because 
t'ney  obeyGci  not  the  voice  of  the  Lord; 
liuio  whom  the  Lord  ?  sware,  that  h.e 
u  ouid  )iot  shew  them  the  land  which  the 
Lord  s\\  are  unto  their  fatliers  iNat  he 
would  give  us,  a  land  that  tioweth  with 
m;!k  and  honey.

Before    pets  of  rr.ms'  horns  passed  on  "^  before 
*^mP^  the  Lord,  and  "  blew   with  the  trum- 
pets ;  and  the  arkof  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  followed  them. 

9  And  the  armed  men  went  before 
the  priests  that  blew  with  the  trumpets, 
and  the  |)  rereward  came  after  the  ark, 
the  priests  going  on,  and  blowing  with 
the  trumpets. 

10  And  Joshua  had  commanded  the 
people,  saying,  Ye  shall  not  shout,  nor 
make  any  noise  with  your  voice,  neither 
shall  any  word  proceed  out  of  your 
mouth,  until  the  °  day  I  bid  you  shout ; 
then  shall  ye  shout. 

11  So  the  ark  of  the  Lord  compassed 
the  city,  going  about  it  once  :  and  they 
came  into  the  camp,  and  lodged  in  the 
camp. 

12  1]  And  Joshua  p  rose  early  in  the 
morning,  and  the  priests  took  up  the  ark 
of  the  Lord. 

13  And  q  seven  priests,  bearing  seven 
trumpets  of  rams'  horns  before  the  ark 

"iSiigs  ^f  the  Lord,  went  on  '  continually,  and 
18. 3.         Dlew  with  the  trumpets  :  and  the  arm- 
Gal.  6. 9.  ^^  j^gpj  went  before  them ;  but  the  rere- 
ward came  after  the  ark  of  the  Lord, 
the  priests  going  on,  and  blowing  Vfith 
the  trumpets. 

14  And  the  second  day  they  compass- 
ed the  city  once,  and  returned  into  the 
camp  :  so  they  did  six  days. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  seventh 
day,  that  they  rose  early,  about  the 
dawning  of  the  day,  and  compassed  the 
city  after  the  same  manner  seven  times; 
only  on  that  day  ihey  compassed  the  city 
seven  times. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass  at  the  seventh 
time,  when  the  piuests  blew  with  the 
trumpets,  Joshua  said  unto  the  people. 
Shout ;  for  the  Lord  hath  given  you

22  f  But  Joshua  had  said  unto  the 
two  men  that  had  spied  out  the  country, 
Go  in'o  the  harlot's  house,  and  bring 
out  the;ice  tlie  w  oman,  and  all  tliat  she 
iiaih,  y  as  ye  sware  unto  her 

23  And  the  -voung-  men  that  were 
spies  went  in,  and  brought  oot  Rah:ib, 
and  her  father,  and  her  mother,  and  her 
brethren,  and  all  that  she  had  ;  and  they 
brought  out  all  her  kindred,  and  left 
them  ^  w  ithout  the  camp  of  Israel. 

24  And  they  ^  burnt  the  city  with 
fire,  and  all  that  ivas  therein  :  only  the 
silver,  and  the  gold,  and  t!ie  vessels  c.l 
brass  and  of  iron,  they  put  into  the  trea- 
sury of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

25  And  Josliua  *>  saved  Rahab  thi= 
harlot  alive,  and  her  father's  himsehok' 
and  all  that  she  had  ;  and  she  =  dwell^i  i 
in  Israel  e-ven  unto  this  day :  because 
she  hid  the  messengers  which  Joshua 
sent  to  spy  out  Jericho. 

26  ^  And  Joshua  adjured  them  a' 
that  time,  saying.  Curbed  be  the  man 
before  the  Lord  tliat  riseth  up  and 
buildeth  this  city  Jericho  :  he  sliall  lav 
the  foundation  thereof  in 't  his  first-born, 
and  in  his  youngest  son  shall  he  set  up 
the  gates  of  it. 

27  So  the  Lord  was  with  Joshua,  and 
his  ^  fame  was  noised  throughout  all  the 
country. 

CHAP.  VII. 

1  Achan's  trespass.     2  The  Israelites  are 
smitten  at  Ai.     16  Achan  is  taken  by 
lot :  24  he  and  his  householu  destroyed. 
BUT  the  a  children  of  Israel  commit- 
ted a  trespass  in   the   accursed  thing: 
for  Achan,  the  son  of  Canni,  the  slmi 
of  Zabdi,  the  son  ofZerali.ofthe  tribe  of 
Judah,  took  of  the  accursed  tiling  :  and 
the  t'  anger  of  ttie  Lord  was  kindled 
against  the  children  of  Israel. 

2  \\  And  Joshua  sent  men  from  Jeri- 
cho to<:  Ai,  which  is  beside  '^  Beth-aven, 
on  the  east  side  of  Belh-el,  and  spake 
unto  them,  saying-.  Go  up,  and  <=  view 
the  country.  And  the  men  went  up 
and  viewed  Ai. 

3  And  they  returned  to  Joshua,  and 
said  unto  him,  Let  not  all  th.e  jjcople 
go  up  ;  but  let  about  two  or  three  thou- 
sand men  go  up  and  smite  Ai,  ant/ make 
not  all  the  people  to  labour  thither  ;  for 
they  are  but  ^^cw. 

4  So  there  went  up  thither  of  the  peo- 
ple about  three  thousand  men  ;  and  they 
fled  'before  the  men  of  Ai. 

5  And  the  men  of  Ai  smote  of  them 
about  thirty  and  six  men  :  for  tiiej' 
chased  \\iem  fronri  before  the  gate cse.T 
unto  Shebariin,  and  smote  them  in  the 
going  down  ;  wherefore  the  hearts  of 
the  people  5  me'ted,  and  became  as

11  « Israel  hath  sinned,  and  they  hav"

also  X  stolen,  and  dissemnled  also,  and 
ihey  have  y  putt?  even  among  their  own

12  Therefore  the  children  of  Israel  ^ 
couUl  not  stanrl  before  their  enemies,  /net 
turned  their  backs  before  their  enemies, 
because  they  were  accursed:  neithei 
wi'il  I  be  with  you  any  more,  except  yt 
destroy  the  accursed  from  among  )ou. 

13  Up,  a  sanitify  the  people,  and  say, 
San.  Xi^v  yourselves  ag.tmst  to-morrow  ; 
for  thus  saitli  the  Lord  God  of  Israel, 
There  is  nn  accursed  thing  in  the  nii<isi 
of  thee,  O  Israel :  thou  canst  not  stand 
before  tliiue  enemies,  until  \  e  tuke  away 
the  accursed  thing  from  among  you. 

14  In  llie  morning,  therefore,  ye  shai;

it  shall  be,  t!iati\\.e  tribe  which  the  Lord

12  P  This  our  bread  we  took  liot  for

day  we  came  forth  to  go  unto  you  ;  but 
now,  behold,  it  is  dry,  and  it  is  mouldy  :

be  rent:  and  iliese  our  garments  and 
our  shoes  are  become  old  by  reason  of

:ind  1  asked  not  counsel  at  the  r  mouth 
ofthe  Lord. 

15  And  Joshua  '  made  peace  witii 
them,  and  made  a  league  with  them,  to 
let  them  live  :  and  the  princes  of  tlie 
congregation  sware  unto  them. 

16  And  it  came  to  pass,  at  the  end  of 
three  days,  after  they  had  made  a 
league  with  them,  tliat  they  heard  that 
tiiey  were  their  neighbours,  and  that  they 
dwelt  amtng  them. 

17  And  the  children  of  Israel  jour- 
neyed, and  came  unto  their  cities  on  the 
third  clay.  Now  their  cities  were  Gi- 
beon,  and  Chephirah,  and  Beeroth,  and 
Kirjath-jearim. 

18  And  the  cliildren  of  Isr.ael  '  smote 
them  not,  because  the  princes  of  the 
congregation  had  sworn  unto  tliem  b^ 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel.  And  all  the 
congregation  "  murmured  against  the 
princes. 

19  But  all  the  princes  said  unto  all 
the  congregation,  We  have  sworn  unl'^ 
them  by  the  Loud  God  of  Israel :  now, 
llieref  )re,  "  we  may  not  touch  them. 

20  This  we  will  do  to  them  ;  we  w  ill 
even  let  tiiem  live,  y  lest  wrath  be  upon 
us,  because  of  the  oath  which  we  sware 
unto  them. 

21  And  the  princes  said  unto  them, 
Lettl:em  live;  but  let  tliem  be  ^  hewers 
of  w'-'od  and  draweis  of  water  unto  ail 
the  congregation ;  as  the  princes  had 
promised  thi^m. 

22  11  And  Joshua  called  for  them,  and 
he  spake  unto  them,  saying,  Wherefore 
have  ye  beguiled  us, saying,  We  rt?f  very 
far  from  yuu,  when  ye  dwell  among  us  ? 

23  Now,  therelore,  ye  are  ^  cursed ; 
and  there  shall  none  of  }ou  be  freed 
from  being  bond-men,  and  iiewers  of 
wood  and  drawers  of  water  for  ilie  house 
of  my  God.

1  Five  kings  lonr  against  Gibeon  .•  €  Joshua 
rescueth  it.    12  The  sim  and  itjoon  stand 
still  at  the  ii'ord  of  jfoshua.     28  Seven 
kings  more  are  conquered. 
I  NOW  it  came  to  pass,  when  Adoni- 

**  zedek  king  of  Jerusalem  had  heard  how 

Joshua  had  tuken  Ai,  and  had  utterly 
destro.ved  it ;  as  he  had  done  to  ^  Jeri- 
cho and  her  king,  so  he  had  done  to 
b  Ai  and  her  king;  and  how  the  inliabit- 
ants  of  Gibeon  had  made  peace  willi 
Israel,  and  were  among  them  ; 

2  That  they  ■=  feared  greatly,  because 
Gibeo!i  ivas  a  great  city,  as  one  of  the 
t  royal  cities,  and  because  it  'xas  greater 

mf'"^*  than  Ai,  and  all  the  men  thereof  were 
eGeii.       J  mighty. 

3  Wherefore  Adoni-zedek  king  of 
Jer>isulem  sent  unto  Hoh:im  king  of 
e  Hebron,  and  unto  Piram  king  of  Jar- 
muth,  and  unto  Japhia  king  of  ^  Lacliish, 
and  unto  Debir  king  of  g  Eglon,  sayinj, 

4  Come  up  unto  me,  and  help  me, 
that  we  may  smite  Gibeon;  for  ^'  it  hath 
matle  pe:ice  with  Josiiua,  and  with  the 
chiUhen  of  Israel. 

5  Therefore  the  ■  five  kings  of  the  A- 
morites,  the  king  of  Jerusalem,  the  king 
of  Hebron,  the  kingof  Jarmutli,the  king 
of  Lachisii,  the  king  of  Eglon,  gathered 
themselves  together,  and  went  up,  they 
and  all  their  hosts,  and  i-  encamped  be- 
fore Gibeon,  and  made  war  against  it. 

6  ^1  And  the  men  of  Gibeon  sent  unto 
Joshua,  to  the  camp  to  Gilgal,  saying, 
Slaclc  not  tiiy  hand  from  thy  servants  ; 
come  up  to  us  quickly,  and  save  us,  and 
help  us  :  for  val!  the  kings  of  the  Amo- 
rites  that  dwell  in  tlie  mountains  arc  ga- 
thered together  against  iis. 

7  So  Joshua  ascended  from  Gilgal, 
he,  and  all  the  people  of  war  with  liim, 
and  all  the  mighty  men  of  valour. 

8  ^  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Joslina, 
1  Pear  them  not ;  for  1  have  delivered 
them  into  thine  hand  ;  there  shall  not  a 
man  of  them  stand  before  thee. 

9  Joshua,  therefore,  came  unto  them 
suddenly,  and  went  up  from  Gilgal  all 
night. 

10  And  the  Lord  discomfited  tliem 
before  Israel,  and  slew  them  wiili  a 
great  slaughter  at  Gibeon,  and  chased 
them  along  the  way  that  goeth  up  to 
"  Beth-horon,  and  smote  them  to  "  Aze- 
kah,  and  unto  Makkedah. 

11  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  fled 
from  before  Israel,  and  were  in  the  going 

^d33.i3.  dowjn  to  Beth-horon,  that  the  Lord  cast

neither  left  they  any  to  breathe. 

15  r  As  Uie  Lord  commanded  Mo- 
ses liis  servant,  so  did  Moses  command 
Joshua,  and  so  did  Joshua  ;  lie  left  no- 
thing undone  of  all  that  the  Lord  com- 
manded Moses. 

16  II  So  Joshua  took  all  that  land,  the 
hills,  and  all  the  south  country,  and  all 
the  land  of  *  Goshen,  and  the  valley,  and 
the  plain,  and  the  mountain  of  Israel, 
and  the  valley  of  the  same  ; 

17  Even  from  the  [)  mount  Halak, 
that  goeth  up  to  Seir,  even  unto  Baal- 
gad  in  the  valley  of  Lebanon,  wnder 
mount  Hermon :  and  all  their  kings  he 
took,  and  smote  them,  and  slew  them. 

18  Joshua  made  war  |J  a  long  time 
with  all  those  king;j. 

19  There  was  not  a  city  that  ^  made 
peace  with  the  children  of  Israel,  save 
the  Hivites,  the  inliabitants  of  Gibeou  ; 
all  other  they  took  in  battle. 

20  For  it  was  of  the  Lord  to  "harden 
theirhearts,that  they  shouldcome  against 
Israel  in  battle.that  he  mig'utdcslroythem 
utterly,  and  that  they  might  have  no  fa- 
vour, but  tliat  he  might  destroy  tliem ; 
as  the  Lord  commanded  Moses. 

21  ^  And  at  that  time  came  Joshua 
and  cut  oft' the  Anakims  fr>>m  the  moun- 
tains; from  Hebron,  from  Debir,  from 
Anab,  and  from  all  the  ^  mountains  of 
Judah,  and  from  all  tlie  mountains  of 
Israel :  Joshua  destroyed  thtm  utterly 
with  their  cities. 

22  There  w  as  none  of  the  Anakims 
left  in  the  land  of  the  children  of  Israel ; 
only  in  Gaza,  in  Gath,  and  in  Ashdod, 
there  remained. 

23  U  So  Joshua  took  the  whole  land, 
according  to  all  that  the  Lord  saidun- 
to  Moses,  and  Joshua  gave  it  for  an  in- 
h.eritante  unto  Israel,  y  according  to  their 
divisions  by  their  tribes.  And  the  land 
^  rested  from  war.

I6.33.and  Moses,  for  the  nine  tribes,  and^br  the 
i?.i8.      half-tribe. 

3  For  Moses  had  given  the  inheritance 
of  tu'o  tribes,  and  an  half-tribe,  on  the 
other  side  Jordan;  but  unto  the  ■=  Le- 
vites  he  gave  none  inheritance  among 
them. 

4  For  the  children  of  Joseph  were 
<J  two  tribes,  Manasseh  and  Ephraim  ; 
therefore  tliey  gave  no  part  unto  the  Le- 
vites  in  the  land  save  «  cities  to  dwell  in, 
V.  ith  their  suburbs  fur  their  cattle,  and 
for  their  substance. 

5  As  the  Lord  commanded  Moses, 
so  the  children  of  Israel  did,  and  they 
divided  the  land. 

6  ^  Then  the  children  of  f  Judah  came 
unto  Joshua  m  g  Cilgal :  and  Caleb,  the 
son  of  Jephuniieh  the  Kenezite,  said  un- 
to liim.  Thou  knowest  the  thing  that  the 
Lord  said  unto  Moses,  the  ''  man  of 
God,  concerning  me  and  thee  in  Kadesh- 
baniea. 

7 '  Forty  years  old  -j:as  I  when  Moses,

14.7,10.    Kadesh-barnea  to  espy  out  the  land; 

and  I  brought  him  word  again  as  it'v^}as 

in  mine  heart.

t  for  fear  of  this  thing,  saying,  f  In  time 
to  come  your  children  might  speak  unto 
our  cliildren,  saying,  Wliat  have  ye  to

<=no  part  in  the  Lord:  so  shall  your

27  But  that  it  may  be  f-a.  witness  be-

may  say  again,  Behold  the  pattern  of 
the  altar  of  the  Lord,  which  our  fa 
thers  made,  not  for  burnt-offerings,  nor

inheritance  for  your  tribes,  from  Jordan, 
vvitii  all  the  nations  that  I  have  cut  off,

17  For  the  Lord  our  God,  he  it  is 
that  brought  us  up,  and  our  fathers,  out 
of  the  land  of  Egypt,  from  the  house  of 
b(indage,and  which  did  those  great  signs 
ill  our  sight,  and  preserved  us  in  all  the 
way  wherein  we  went,  and  among  all  the 
jieople  through  whom  we  passed  : 

18  And  the  Lord  drave  out  from  be- 
fore us  all  the  people,  even  the  Amorites 
which  dwelt  in  the  land :  tkertfore  will 
we  also  serve  the  Lord  ;  for  he  is  our 
God. 

19  And  Joshua  said  unto  the  people, 
I!  Ye  caimot  serve  the  Lord:  for  he  is 
an  -j-  holy  God;  he  is  a  jealous  God  ;  he 
will  not  forgive  your  transgressions,  nor 
your  sins. 

20  If  ye  f  forsake  the  Lord,  and  serve 
strange  gods,  then  he  will  turn  and  do 
you  hurt,  and  consume  you,  alter  that 
he  hath  done  you  good. 

21  And  the  people  said  unto  Joshua, 
Nay  ;  but  we  will  serve  the  Lord. 

22  And  Joshua  said  unto  the  people, 
Ye  nre  witnesses  g  against  yourselves, 
that  ye  have  chosen  you  the  Lord,  tn 
serve  him.  And  they  said.  We  are  wit- 
nesses. 

23  Now,  therefore,  ''  put  away  {sai  i 
he)  the  strange  gods  which  are  amonii 
_\ou,  and  incline  your  heart  unto  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel. 

24  And  the  peo[>le  said  unto  Joshua, 
The  Lord  our  God  will  we  serve,  and 
his  voice  will  we  obey. 

25  So  Joshua  '  made  a  coven;)nt  with 
the  people  that  day,  and  set  ihem  a  sta- 
tute and  an  ordinance  in  Shechem. 


26  ^  And  Joshua  ^  wrote  these  words 
in  the  book  of  the  law  of  God,  and  took 
a  great  stone,  and  i  set  it  up  there  under 
an  oak  that  was  by  the  sanctum  y  of  the 
Lord. 

27  And  Joshua  said  unto  all  the  peo- 
ple, Behold,  '"this  s'one  shail  be  a  uit- 
ness  unto  us  ;  for  it  hath  "  heard  all  the 
words  of  the  Lord  which  le  spake  unto 
us :  it  shall  be,  therefore,  a  witness  unt. 
you,  lest  ye  deny  \our  God. 

23  So  Joshua  let  the  people  depart, 
every  m\\  unto  his  inheritance. 

29  If  And  it  came  to  pass,  after  these 
things,  that  Joshua,  the  son  of  Nun,  the 
o  servant  of  the  Lord,  died,  being  ai 
hundrt  d  and  ten  years  old. 

30  And  they  buried  him  in  the  bordei 
of  his  inheritance  in  p  Tinmatli-serai. 
which  is  in  mount  Ephraim,  on  the  north 
side  of  the  hill  of  q  Gaash. 

31  And  Israel  served  the  Lord  all 
the  days  of  Joshua,  and  r  all  the  days  oi 
the  elders  that  over-lived  Joshua,  and 
which  had  known  all  the  works  of  the 
Lord,  that  he  had  d  ne  tor  Israel. 

32  ^  And  the  «  bones  of  J(]sej)h,  which 
the  children  of  Israel  brought  up  out  .i 
Eg^pt,  buried  they  in  Siiecliem,  iu  a 
parcel  of  ground  whicli  Jacob  bought  ot 
the  sons  of  Hamor  the  father  of  '  She 
chem,  for  an  hundred  pieces  of  silver: 
and  it  became  the  inheritance  of  the 
children  of  J-iseph. 

oo  If  And  Eieazar,  the  son  of  Aaron, 
died  :  and  they  buned  him  in  a  UiWthat 
pertained  to  Piiineiias  his  son,  which  was 
given  him  in  mount  Ephraim.

NOW,  ^  after  the  death  of  Joshua, 
it  came  to  pass,  that  the  children  of  Is-

shall  go  up  for  us  against  the  C;;naanites

2  And  the  Lord  said,  '^  Judah  shall

12  And  Caleb  said,  He  that  smitelh

13  And  Othniel,  the  son  of  Kenaz,

he  gave  him  Achsah  his  daughter  to  wife. 

14  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  she 
came  to  hhn,  that  she  moved  him  to  ask

18  Also  Judah  took  "  Gaza  with  the

slvAi  save  Israel  from  the  hand  of  the

19  And  Gideon  went  in,  and  made

Take  tliy  *  fadier's  young  bullock,  even 
tlie  second  bullock  of  seven  years  old, 
and  throw  down  the  altar  of  Baal  thai

enquired  and  asked,  they  said,  Gideon, 
the  son  of  Joasli,hatb  done  this  thing.

to Joash,  Bring  out  tliy  son,  that  he  may

32  Therefore  on  that  day  he  called 
ium  II  Jerubbaal,  saying,  Let  Baal  plead 
against  him,  because  he  hath  throv.n 
down  his  altar. 

33  ^  Tlien  all  the  Midianites,  and  the

cir.  1249.  •'^"'^  *"'  ^^^  people  ihrit  were  with  him, 
ros.-  Ill)  eaily,  i;nd  pitched  beside  tiie 
well  off  Harod:  so  liiatthe  host  of  the 
Miuiiinites  viere  on  tiie  nortli  side  of 
them,  by  the  hill  of  Mnreb,  in  the  valley. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  vn.to  Gideon, 
The  people  that  are  uith  thee  are  ^  too 
many  for  me  to  give  tlie  Midifinitcs  into 
their  hands,  lest  Israel  vaunt  themselves 
against  me,  saying,  <:  Mine  own  hand 
hath  saved  me. 

3  Now,  therefore,  go  to,  proclaim  in 
the  ears  of  liie  people,  saying,  «i  Who- 
soever is  fearful  and  afi-aid,  let  him  re- 
t'lfn  and  -f-  depart  early  from  mount  Gi- 

Matthew  lead  :  and  there  reuirned  of  the  people 
13.^:.      twenty  and  two  thousand,  and  there  re- 
mained ten  thousand. 

4  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gideon, 
The  people  ^reyet  toomx.v.\;  bring  them 
down  unto  the  "water,  and"  I  will  f  try 
tliem  for  thee  there:  aiidii  sliail  be,  that 

jf;Oflr(tfe/-'\  "  wluim  I  say  unto  thee,  This  shall  go 

purify, _    with  thee,  the  samv  sfiall  go  with  thee; 

andof  w+.omsoever  I  say  unto  thee,  This 

shall  not  go  with  thee,"  the  same  shall 

not  go. 

5  So  he  brought  dov/n  the  people  un- 
to the  water  :  and  the  Lord  said  unto 
Gideon,  Every  one  that  'Ir.pp'eth  of  the 
water  with  his  tongue,  as  a  dog  lappet h, 
Jii.'u  shalt  thou  iet  by  liimself;  likewise 
every  one  that  bowclh  down  upon  his 
knees  to  drink. 

6  And  the  number  of  them  that  lap- 
ped, putting  their  hand  to  their  mouth, 
vere  three  hundred  men  :  but  all  tlie 
rest  of  the  people  bowed  dov  ii  upon 
their  knees  to  drink  water. 

T  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Gideon, 
g  by  the  three  hnndrcd  inen  that  lapped 
T\'i!l  I  save  you,  and  deliver  t!ie  Midian- 
ites  into  thine  hand :  and  let  all  the  other 
people  go  every  man  unto  his  place. 

8  So  the  people  took  victuals  in  their 
hand,  and  their  ''trumpets:  and  he  sent 
all  t/ie  rest  o/' Israel,  ever)'  man  unto  his 
tent,  and  retained  tli0.se  tliree  imndred 
men.  And  the  host  of  Midian  was  be- 
neath h'm  in  the  valley. 

9  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  the  same 
'night,  that  the  Lord  said  unto  him, 
Arise,  get  thee  down  unto  the  host;  for 
I  have  delivered  it  into  thine  hand. 

10  But  if  thou  fear  to  go  down,  go 
thou  with  Phurali  thy  servant  down  to

al')ng-  tli.it  way  by  them  :  and  it  was  told 
Abimelech. 

26  A'hI  Gaal,  the  son  of  Ebed,  came 
witl'  liid  brethren,  and  went  over  to  She- 
chem :  and  the  men  of  Shechem  '  put 
t!)eir  confidence  in  him. 

27  And  they  went  out  into  the  fields,

i/ie  grapes,  and  made  ^  merry,  and 
weni  into  the  "^  house  of  their  g'od,  and 
did  eat  and  drink,  and  cursed  Abime-

were  undi^r  my  hand  !  h  then  would  I 
cfmove  Abimelech.  And  he  said  to 
Abimelech,  Increase  thine  army,  and 
oome  out.

the  son  of  Ebed,  and  his  brethren,  be 
come  to  Shechem  ;  and,  behold,  they 
fortify  the  city  against  thee. 

32  Now,  therefore,  up  by  nij^ht,  Ihiu 
and  the  people  ihat  Is  with  thee,  and  he 
in  wait  in  the  fit-Id  : 

0.0  A''d  it  bhall  be,  that  in  the  morn- 
ing, as  soon  as  the  sun  is  up,  thou  shalt 
rise  early,  and  set  upon  the  city  :  and, 
behold,  '■jihen  he  and  the  people  that  is 
with  him  come  out  against  thee,  then 
mayest  thou  do  to  thenj  f  as  thou  shalt 
find  occasion. 

34  U  And  Abimelech  rose  up,  and  all 
the  people  that  -.I'fre  v/ith  him,  by  night, 
and  they  laid  watt  against  Shectiem  in 
f  jur  companies. 

35  And  Gaal,  the  son  of  Ebed,  went 
out,  and  stood  in  the  entering  of  tlie 
gate  of  the  city  :  and  Abimelech  rose 
up,  and  the  people  that  ^uere  with  him, 
from  iying  in  wait. 

36  And  when  Gaal  saw  the  people, 
he  said  to  Zebul,  Behold,  there  come 
people  down  from  the  top  of  the  moun- 
tains. And  Zebui  said  unto  him,  Thou 
'  siest  the  shadow  of  the  mountains  as 
if  they  viere  men. 

57  And  Gaal  spake  again,  and  said, 
See,  there  come  people  down  by  the  f 
middle  of  the  land,  and  anothey  compa- 
ny come  along  by  the  plain  of  ||  Meone- 
i.im. 

38  Then  said  Zebul  unto  him,  '<  Where

Who   is  Abimelech,   that  v.e  should

40  And  Abimelech  chased  him,  and 
he  fled  before  him ;  and  many  were  over- 
thrown and  wounded,  even  unto  the  en- 
tering of  the  gate. 

41  And  Abimelech  dwelt  at  Arumah; 

and  Zebul  1  thrust  out   Gaal   and  his  /ver. 23. 
brethren,  that  they  should  not  dwell  in 
Shechem. 

42  And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  mar-

43  And  he  took  the  people,  and  di- 
vided tliem  into  three  companies,  and 
laid  wait  in  the  field,  and  looked,  and, 
behold,  tiie  people  were  come  forth  out 
of  tiie  city  ;  and  he  rose  up  against

13  And  the  king  of  the  children  of

of  Ji^pii1h;;h,  Because  "tlsiael  took  aviay 
ni)'  l^nd  when  they  came  up  out  of

14  And  Jephthali   sgnt  messengers 
3a.  ^j.        '  'iifain  unto  the  king  of  the  children  of 

I'saims  Anmion, 

15  And  said  unto  him.  Thus  saith 
Jephlliiiii,  o  Israel  took  not  away  the 
land  of  Moab,  nor  the  land  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Ammon  : 

16  But  when  Israel  came  up  from 
Egypt,  and  walked  ihrougu  tlie  \>  ilder- 
iiess  unto  the  Red  sea,  and  came  to 
P  Kadesh ; 

17  Tlien  Israel  sent  messengers  unto 
the  king  c^f  Edom,  saying.  Let  me,  I 
pray  thee,  pass  through  thy  land;  but 
the  king  o;  Edom  i  would  not  hearken 
t/wrttn.  And  in  like  manner  they  sent 
unto  liie  king  of  Moab  ;  but  he  would 
uot  consent :  .md  Israel  abode  in  Kadesh. 

18  Then  they  went  along  througii  the 
\\ilderness,  and  compassed  the  land  of 
Edom  and  the  land  of  Moah,  and  came 
by  the  east  side  ot  the  land  of  Moab,  I 
:ind  pitched  on  th:-,  r)*iher  side  of  Arnon,  ] 
but  '  caine  not  within  the  border  of  Mo- 
ab: tor  Arnon  zvas  the  border  of  Moab.  1 

19  And  Israel  ^  sent  messengers  unto 
Sihon  kingof  the  Amorites,  the  king  of 
Heshbon;  and  Israel  said  unto  him.  Let 
us  pass,  we  pray  thee,  tlirough  thy  land 
unto  my  place. 

20  But  Sihon  trusted  not  Israel  to  pass 
througii  his  coast :  but  Sihon  gathered 
all  his  people  together,  and  pitched  in 
t  Jahaz,  and  fought  against  Israel. 

21  And  the  Lord  God  of  Israel  de- 
livered Sihon  and  all  his  people  into  the 
hand  of  Israel,  and  they  smote  them  :  s^' 
Israel  possessed  all  the  land  of  the  A- 
moritcs,  the  inhabitantsof  that  country. 

22  And  they  possessed  "ail  the  coasis 
of  the  Amorites,  from  -'Vrnon  even  unto 


Jalibok,  and  from  the  wilderness  even  ,.?,*^^°^* 
unto  Jordan.  cu-.  ii43. 

23  So  now,  the  Lord  God  of  Israel  ,^>/-vj

9  And  God  o  hearkeiied  to  the  voice 
of  Manoah  ;  and  the  ang'eiof  God  came 
ag-ain  unto  the  woman  as  she  sat  in  the

witJi  her. 

10  And  the  woman  P  made  haste,  and 
ran,  and  shewed  her  husband,  ai  d  said 
unto  him,  Behold,  the  man  hath  ap- 
peared unto  me,  that  came  unto  me  the 
ot/ier  day. 

11  And  Manoah  arose,  and  went  after 
his  wife,  and  came  to  the  man,  and  said 
unto  him.  Art  thou  the  man  that  spakest 
Unto  the  woman  ?  And  he  said,  1  am. 

12  And  Manoah  said,  Now,  let  thy 
words  come  to  pass  :  how  shall  we  or- 
der the  child  ?  and  -j-  /lovi  shall  we  do 
unto  him  ? 

13  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said 
unto  Manoah,  Of  all  that  I  said  unto  the 
'voman,  let  her  beware. 

14  She  may  not  eat  of  any  thing  that 
Cometh  of  the  <i  vine,  neither  let  her 
drink  wine  or  strong  drink,  nor  eat  any 
unclean  thing  :  '  all  that  I  commanded 
her  let  her  observe. 

15  If  And  Manoah  said  unto  the  angel 
of  the  Lord,  I  pray  thee,  let  us  detain 
thee  until  we  shall  have  made  ready  a 
kid »  for  thee. 

16  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said 
unto  Manoah,  Though  thou  detain  me 
I  w  ill  not  eat  of  thy  ^  bread  ;  and  if  thou 

^''  wilt  offer  a  burnt-offering,  thou  must  of- 
verses  fer  it  °  unto  the  Lord:  f^r  Manoah 
overbs  knew  not  that  he  ijias  an  angel  of  the 
.2.        Lord. 

17  And  Manoah  said  unto  the  angel 
of  the  Lord,  What  is  thy  name,  that, 
when  thy  sayings  come  to  pass,  we  ma} 
>*  do  thee  honour  ? 

18  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  said 
unto  him,  Why  askest  thou  thus  after 
my  name,  seeing"  it  is  ||  secret  ? 

19  So   Manoah   took  a  kid,  with  a 
ith. peli,  meat-offering,  and  y  offeretl  it  upon    a 

rock  unto  the  Lord  :  and  the  angeid'id 
^  wonder  .usly ;  and  Manoah  and  his  wife 
looked  on. 

20  For  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  flame 
went  up  toward  heaven  from  off  the  al- 
t;ir, that  the  angel  of  the  Lord  ascended 
in  tiie  flame  of  the  altar:  and  Manoah 
and  his  wile  looked  on  it,  and  »  fell  on

there  came  none  to  the  camp  from  ''Ja-

9  For  the  people  ^  ere  numbered,  and, 
behold,  there  iwre  none  of  the  inhabit-

smite  the  inliabitants  of  Jabesh-gilea.l

Benjamin,  that  a  tribe  be  not  desliwed 

out  of  Israel. 

18  Howbeit  we  may  not  give  them 
wives  of  our  daughters:  for  the  children 

of  Israel  have  "  sworn,  saying,  Cursed  wyer.i,

It  besides  thee ;  and  I  am  after  thee. 
And  he  said,  I  will  i  redeem  it. 

5  Then  said  Boaz,  What  day  thou 
buyest  tlie  field  of  the  hand  of  Naomi, 
thou  must  buy  it  also  of  '>  Ruth  the 
Moabitess,  the  wife  of  the  dead,  to

people  vjas.  that,  when  an_\  man  offered 
sacntice,the  priest's  servant  came,  while 
the  flesh  was  in  seething,  with  a  flesh- 
hook  of  three  teeth  in  his  hand  : 

14  And  he  struck  it  into  the  pan,  or 
kettle,  or  chaldron,  or  pot ;  "  ail  that  the 
fieshhook  brought  up  <i  tiie  priest  took 
for  liimself  So  they  did  in  Shiloh  unto 
all  the  Israelites  that  came  thither. 

13  Also  before  they  burnt  the  ^  fat, 
the  priest's  servant  came,  and  said  to 
the  man  that  sacrificed.  Give  flesh  to 
roast  for  the  priest ;  for  he  will  not  have 
sodden  flesh  ot  tuee,  but  raw. 

16  And  {/any  man  said  unto  him. 
Let  them  r.ot  fail  to  burn  the  fat  pre-

17  Wherefore  the  sin  of  the  young 
men  was  very  grc.Tt  'before  the  Lord; 
for  men  g  abhorred  the  ofiehng  of  the

revealed  to  Samuel.     11    God  teiletk 

Saitmel  the  destruction  of  EWs  liouse. 

15  Saviuel  revealeth  the  vision  to  Eli. 

AND  the  child  S.amuel  ministered 

unto  the  Lord  »  before  Eli.      And  the 

word  of  the  Lord  was  ^  precious  in 

those  days  ;  there  ivas  no  f  open  vision. 

2  And  it  came  to  pass  at  tliat  time, 
when  Eli  was  laid  dosvn  in  his  place, 
and  his  eyes  ■=  began  to  wax  dim,  that 
he  could  ''  not  see  ; 

3  And  ere  the  lamp  of  God  «  went 
out  in  the  temple  of  tiie  Lord,  where 
tlie  ark  of  God  was,  and  Samuel  was 
laid  down  to  sleep, 

4  That  the  Lord  f called  Samuel: 
and  he  answered.  Here  am  I. 

5  And  he  ran  unto  Eli,  and  said,  Here 
am  I;  for  thou  calledst  me.  And  he 
said,  I  called  not;  lie  down  again.  And 
he  went  and  lay  dov\n. 

6  And  tlie  Lord  called  yet  again, 
Samuel.     And  Samuel  arose,  ai;d  went 

Hebrews  to  Ell,  and  said.  Here  am  I ;  for  thou 
^'  ■*•         didst  call  me.     And  he  answered,    I 
called  not,  my  son ;  lie  down  again. 

7  Now  Samuel  did  not  yet  know  the 
Lord,  neither  was  the  word  of  the 
Lord  yet  revealed  unto  him. 

8  And  tiie  Lord  called  Samuel  again 
the  tiiird  time.  And  he  arose,  and  went 
to  Eli,  and  said.  Here  am  I ;  for  tliou 
didst  call  me.  And  Eli  perceived  that 
the  Lord  had  called  the  child. 

9  Tnerefore  Eli  said  unto  Samuel, 
Go,  lie  down  ;  and  it  shall  be,  if  he  call 
thee, that  thou shalt say,  g Speak,  Lord: 
for  tiiy  servant  heareth.  So  Samuel 
u  eiit  and  lay  down  in  his  place. 

lU  And  the  Lord  came,  and  stood, 
and  canted,  as  at  other  times,  Samuel,

11  If  And  the  Lord  said  to  Samuel, 
Beh'.ld,  !i  I  will  do  a  thing  in  Israel,  at 
which  both  the  ears  of  e\evy  one  that 
heai  eth  it  shall  '  tingle.

Eli  all  f/i/;;^.}  which  ''I  have  spoken  con- 
cerning his  house  :  when  I  begin,  1  will 
also  make  an  end.

'"  J''*JS'^  'i'^  house  for  ever,  for  the  ini- 
quity which  he  kiviwetli:  because  his

14  And  therefore  I  have  sworn  unto  p^^j^",'"^.,, 
the  house  of  Eli,  that  the  iniquity  of  ^-^^  jjg^^

ing,  and  opened  the  doors  of  the  house 

of  the  Lord  :  and  Samuel  »  feared  to  o  Daniel 
shew  Eli  the  vision.  '*'  ^^' 

16  Then  Eli  called  Samuel,  and  said, 
Samuel,  my  son.  And  he  answered. 
Here  am  I. 

17  And  he  said.  What  is  the  thing 
that  the  LORD  hath  said  unto  thee  ?  I 

pray  thee  hide  it  not  from  me  :  p  God  ;>Ruth 
do  so  to  thee,  and  more  also,  if  thou  ^*  ^"i 
hlile  any  thing  from  me  of  all  the  things 
that  he  said  unto  thee. 

18  And  Samuel  t'>M  him  every  whit, 
and  hid  nothing  from  him.     And  he 

said.  It  is  the  Lord  ;  1  let  him  do  what  9  Psalm

was  «ith  him,  and  did  let  '  none  of  his  ^  ^3"^^ 
words  fall  to  the  ground.  Matthew 

20  And  all  Israel,  from  '  Dan  even  10.29. 
to  Beer-sheba,  knew  that  Samuel  was  oq^^j^^^ 
established  to  be  a  prophet  of  the  Lord.  " 

21  And  tlie  Lord  appeared  again  in  ^jSam 
Shiloh  :  for  the  Lord  revealed  himself  7. 21, 

to  Samuel  in  Shiloh  ^  by  the  word  of  Johnl.i, 
the  Lord. 

CHAP.  IV. 
1  The  Israelites  are  overcome  by  the  Phi- 
listines. 1 1  The  ark  is  taken,  and  Elt^s 
sons  slain.     12  Of  Eli's  death,  (S'c. 
AND  the  a  word  of  Samuel  f  came  to 
all  Israel.    Now  Israel  went  out  against 
the  Philistines  to  battle,  and  pitched  be- 
side  Eben-czer  :    and  the   Philistines 
pitched  in  ^  Aphek. 

2  And  tlie  Philistines  put  themselves 
in  an-ay  against  Israel :  and,  when  they 
t  joined  battle,  "^  Israel  was  smitten  be- 
fore the  Philistines  ;  and  they  slew  of 
tlie  army  in  the  field  about  tour  thou- 
sand men. 

3  U  And  when  the  people  were  come 
into  the  camp,  tlie  elders  of  Israel  said, 
<•  Wherefore  hath  the  Lord  smitten  us 
to-day  before  the  Philistines  ?  Let  us 
fetch  the  "  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the 
Lord  out  of  Shiloh  unto  us,  that,  when 
it  Cometh  among  us,  it  may  f  save  us  out 
of  the  hand  of  our  enemies. 

4  So  the  people  sent  to  Shiloh,  that 
they  might  bring  from  tlience  the  ark 
of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  of  ?  hosts, 
which  dwelleth  ^  bef^een  the  cheru-

ark  of  the  covenant  of  God. 

5  And  when  tue  ark  of  the  covenant 
of  the  Lord  came  into  the  camp,  all 
Israel  ^  shouted  with  a  great  shout,  so 
tliat  the  earth  rang  again. 

6  And  when  the  Philistines  heard  the

Stood  that  the  ark  of  the  Lord,  was 

come  into  the  camp. 

7  And  the  PhiHstines  were  afraid  : 
for  they  said,  God  is  come  into  the 
ci^mp.  Aijd  they  said,  '  Woe  unto  uh  ! 
for  there  hath  not  been  such  a  thing- 
heretofore. 

8  Woe  urito  us  !  who  shall  deliver  us 
out  of  the  hand  of  these  mi.uhty  Gods  ?

tians Willi  all  the  plagues  '"  in  the  wil-

9  Be  strong",  and  quit  yourselves  like 
men,  O  ye  Philistines  !  that  ye  be  not 
servants  unto  the  Hebrews,  "  as  the\ 
have  been  to  }0u  ;  quit  yourselves  like 
men  and  fit^ht. 

lOlf  And  the  Philistines  fought,  and 
Israel  was  smitten,  and  they  fled  every 
man  into  his  °  tent ;  and  there  w;is  a  very 
g-reat  r  slaughter  :  (or  there  i'cli  of  Is- 
rael thirty  thousand  t()otnien. 

11  And  tlie  i  ark  of  God  was  taken: 
and  the  two  sons  of  Eli,  Hoplmi  aiul 
Phinehas,  vere  '  slain. 

12  ^  And  ihere  ran  a  man  of  Benja- 
min out  c.f  the  army,  and  came  to  Slii- 
l')h  tJie  same  day  with  his  clotlies  '  rent, 
and  with  earth  ^upon  his  head. 

13  And  when  he  came,  lo,  Eli  sat 
upon  a  seat  by  the  way-side  watching: 
for  his  heart  trembled  for  the  ark  of 
God.  And  when  the  man  came  into  the 
city  and  told  it,  all  llie  city  cried  out. 

14  And  when  Eli  heard  the  noise  of 
the  crying  he  said,  ^Vhat  mcancth  the 
noise  of  tliit;  tumult  ?  And  the  man  came 
in  hastily,  and  told  Eh. 

15  Now  Eli  Ki'as  ninety  and  eight  years 
eld;  and  his  eyes  were  dim,  that  he 
could  not  see. 

16  And  the  man  said  unto  Eh,  I  avi 
he  that  came  out  of  the  army,  and  I  fled 
to-day  out  of  the  army.  And  he  said. 
What  is  there  done,  my  son ! 

17  And  the  messenger  answered  and 
said,  Israel  is  fled  beti)re  the  Philistines ; 
and  there  hath  been  also  a  great  slaugh- 
ter among  the  peoj)le ;  and  thy  two  sons 
also,  Ho;;hni  and  Phinehas,  are  dead; 
and  the  ark  of  God  is  taken. 

18  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  made 
mention  of  the  ark  of  God,  that  he  fell 
from  ott'thc  scat  b.ackward,  by  the  side 
of  tlie  "  gate,  and  his  «  neck  brake,  and 
!ie  (lied  ;  f<n'  he  was  an  old  man,  and 
heavy  :  and  he  had  judged  Israel  forty 
years.

shall  we  do  to  tlie  ark  of  the  Lord'

empty  ;  but  in  f  any  wise  return  him  a 
trespass-oH'ering  :  then  ye  shall  be  heal-

his  hand  is  not  removed  from  you. 

4  Then  said  the)'.  What  shall  he  the

you,  and  from  off  '■  your  gods  and  from 
off  your  land. 

6  Wherefore  tlien  do  ye  harden  your 
hearts,  as  the  Egy])tians  and  Pliaraoh  ' 
hardened  their  heaits  ?  When  he  had 
wrougiit  wonderfully  among  tiiem,  did 
they  ii'>t  let  the  people  go,  and  they  de-

3  5|  And  Samuel  spake  unto  all  the

4  Then  the  children  of  Israel  did  put

5  And  Samuel  said.  Gather  all  Israel

judged  the  children  of  Israel  in  Mizpeh. 

7  1i  And  when  the  PJiilistines  "  heard 
that  the  children  of  Israel  were  gathered 
together  to  Mizpeh,  the  lords  of  the

when  the  cliildren  nf  Israel  henrd  it, 
they  were  p  afraicl  of  ihc  Pliilistines.

Samuel,  f  Cease  not  to  cry  unto  the 
Lord  our  God  for  us,  that  he  will  save 
us  out  of  the  hand  ot  tiic  Philistines.

and  your  fathers  °  cried  unto  the  Lord 
then  the  Lord  sent  p  Moses  and  Aaron, 
u  hich  brought  forth  >our  fathers  out  of 
Egypt,  and  made  them  dwell  in  this 
place. 

9  And  when  they  q  forgat  the  Lord

i  5  Sisera,  captain  of  the  host  of  Hazor, 
and  into  the  hand  of  the  f  Piiiiistines, 
and  into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  "^  Moab  ; 
and  they  fought  against  thrm. 

10  Ai^,d  they  cried  imto  the  Lord, 
3.12.        ^"^  ^si\i.,  We  have  sinned,  because  we 

have  forsaken  the  Loud,  and  have  serv- 
ed X  Baalim  and  Asharoth:  but  now 
deUver  us  out  i,\  the  hand  of  our  ene-

11  And  the  Lord  sent  y  Jerubbaal, 
and  Bedan,  and  Jephthah,  and  Samuel, 
and  delivered  you  out  of  the  hand  of 
your  e'.emies  on  every  side,  and  ye 
dwelled  s;d'e. 

12  And  when  ye  saw  that  Nahash, 
the  kini;  of  the  childi-en  of  Ammon, 
canie  against  you,  ye  said  unto  me, 
Nay  ;  but  ^  a  king  shall  reign  over  us  ; 
when  the  Lord  your  god  »  wa^  your

13  Now,  therefore,  behoU'  the  king 
whom  ''  ye  have  chosen,  and  whom  ye 
have  desired!  and  behold,  <=  the  Lord 
hath  set  a  king  over  you.

Lord,  th.en  shall  both  \e,  and  also  tlie

hand  of  the  Lord  be  against  you,  as  it

the  multitude  melted  away  and  they 
went  on  beating  down  one  another.

they  had  numbei'ed,  behold,  Jonathan

Jrom  the  country  round  about,  even  they

ped ;  but  no  man  put  his  hand  to  his 
mouth  :  for  the  people  feared  the  oath. 

27  But  Jonathan  heard  not  when  his 
father  charged  the  people  with  the  oath  : 
wherefore  he  put  forth  the  end  of  the 
ro',1  that  wa«  in  his  hand,  and  dipped  it 
in  II  an  honey-comb,  and  put  his  hand 
to  his  mouth  ;  and  his  <*  eyes  were  en- 
lightened. 

28  Then  answered  one  of  the  people, 
ai.d  said.  Thy  father  -j-  straitly  ciiarged 
the  people  with  an  oath,  saying,  Cursed 
be  the  man  that  eateth  any  food  this  day. 
And  the  people  were  faint. 

29  Then  said  Jonathan,  My  father 
hath  troubled  the  laud:  see,  I  pray  you, 
ho'.v  mine  eyes  have  been  enlightened, 
because  I  tasted  a  little  of  this  honey  ; 

30  How  much  more,  if  haply  the 
people  had  eaten  freely  to-day  of  the 
spoil  of  their  enemies  which  they  found  ? 
t  for  had  there  not  been  now  a  much 
greater  slaughter  among  the  Philistines? 

31  And  they  smote  the  Philistints 
that  day  from  Michmash  to  Aijab'K: 
and  the  people  were  very  faint. 

32  And  the  people  flew  upon  the  spoil, 
and  took  sheep,  and  oxen,  and  calves, 
and  slew  them  on  tlie  ground  :  and  the 
people  =did  eat  thevi  with  the  f  blood 

33  1j  Then  they  told  Saul,  saying,  Be- 
hold, the  people  sin  against  the  Lord 
in  ttiat  they  eat  with  »he  bio  d.  And 
he  said.  Ye  have  s  transgressed  :  i"  roll 
a  great  stone  unto  me  tjiis  day. 

34  And  Saul  said,  Di'H  arse  yourselves 
among  the  people,  and  say  unto  then'. 
Bring  me  hither  e\ery  man  his  ox,  arid 
every  man  liis  siieep,  and  slay  fAe-mhere, 
and  eat ;  and  sin  not  against  the  Lord 
in  eating  with  the  bio  d.  And  all  the 
l^eople  brought  every  man  his  ox  with 
him  that  night,  and  slew  them  there. 

33  And  Saul  ■  built  an  altar  unto  the 
Lord  :  ■\  the  same  was  the  first  altar 
that  he  built  unto  the  Lord. 

36  li  And  Saul  said.  Let  us  go  down 
after  the  Philistines  by  night,  and  spoil 
them  until  the  morning  light,  and  let 
us  not  leave  a  man  of  them.  And  they 
said,  Do  whatsoever  seemeth  good  un- 
to thee.  Then  said  the  priest.  Let  us 
^  draw  near  hither  unto  God. 

37  And  Saul  '  asked  counsel  of  God, 
Siiall  I  go  down  after  the  Philistines  ? 
wilt  tho'.  deliver  them  into  the  iiand  of 
Israel  ?  But  lie  ™  answered  liim  not  that 
day. 

38  And  Saul  said.  Draw  ye  near  hi- 
ther all  tiie  f  chief  of  the  people  ;  and 
kiiKW  and  see  "  wherein  tliis  sin  hath 
been  tiiis  day : 

39  For  as  the  Lord  liveth,  which  sa- 
veth  Israel,  tiiougli  it  be  in  Jonathan 
my  son,  he  shall  surely  die.  But  there 
ivas  not  a  man  among  all  the  people  that 
answered  him. 

40  Then  said  he  unto  all  Israel,  Be

'Jonathan  is  rescued  by  the  per>ple 
Before  people  said  unto  Saul,  Do  what  seem-

\,,y^s^->sj  41  Therefore  Suiil  said  unto  the  Lord 
t  Heb.  Go<l  of  Israel,  t  Give  a  perfect  lot.  And 
Gi'ce  the  §.^,,1  .^pd  Jonathan  were  taken :  but  tlie 
w.iTp'.'     people  escaped. 

right  one,  42  And  Saul  said.  Cast  lot:  between 
verse  2j.  ^g  ^j,j  Jonatlian  my  son.  And  Jona- 
Proverbs    ,  •*  ^    ,  •' 

lii.  33,       tlian  was  taken. 

43  Then  Saul  said  to  Jonathan,  Tell 
me  what  thou  hast  done.  And  Jonatliai. 
told  him,  and  said,  1  did  but  taste  a 
little  honey  with  the  end  of  the  von  that 
'i^as  in  mine  hand,  and,  lo,  1  must  die  ! 

44  And  Saul  answered,  "  God  do  so, 
and  more  also  :  for  thou  shalt  surely  v 
die,  Jonathan. 

45  And  the  people  said  unto  Sau!, 
Shall  Jonatlian  die,  who  hath  wrought 
this  great  salvation  in  Israel  \  God  for- 
bid :  as  the  Lord  liveth,  there  shall 
not  1  one  hair  of  his  head  fall  to  the 
ground  ;  for  he  hath  wrought  '  with 
God  this  day.  So  the  people  rescued' 
Jonathan,  that  he  died  not. 

46  Then  Saul  went  up  from  follow- 
ing- the  Philistines  :  and  the  Pliilistines 
went  to  their  own  place. 

47  II  So  Saul « took  the  kingdom  over 
Israel,  and  fought  against  all  his  ene- 
mies on  every  side,  against  Moab,  and 
against  the  children  of  Ammon,  and 
against  Edom,  and  against  the  kings  of 
'  Zubah,  and  against  the  Philistines  : 
and  whithers"ever  he  turned  himself

48  And  ht-  gathered  an  host,  and 
smoie  the  "  Amalekites,  and  delivered  j 
Israel  out  of  the  hands  of  them  that! 
spoiled  them. 

49  ^i  Now  the  sons  of  Saul  were  Jo- 
nathan, and  y  Ishui,  and  Melchishua: 
and  the  names  of  his  two  daughters 
ii'erc  ihese;  the  name  of  the  tirst-born 
Merab,  and  the  name  of  the  younger 
Michal : 

50  And  the  name  of  Saul's  wife  ix-as 
Ahinoam,  the  daughter  of  Ahimaaz  ; 
and  the  name  of  the  captain  of  his  host 
Kvas  Abner,  the  son  of  Ner,  Saul's

and  '  ten  thousand  men  of  Judah.  -•  judg«s 

5  And  Saul  came  to  a  city  of  Amalek,  1.  3. 
and  laid  wait  in  the  '-^  valley.  i\%,i;^' 

6  ^f  And  Saul  said  unto  the  '  Kenitcs.  24.21. 

'Ti    Go,  depart,   "  get   you   down  from  'J>idges 
among  the   Amalekites,  lest  I  destro\  „|  q^_

Kenites  departed  from  amonirthe  Ania-  24.  21.

7  And  Saul  p  smote  the  Amalekites  pJob 
from  "i  Havilah  umil  thou  comest  to  '  "^'^P' 
Shur,  that  j^over  against  Eg-ypt.  8.12.* 

8  And  he  took  Agag  the  king  of  the  <?  Gen. 
-Amalekites  alive,    and  utterly  destroy-  ^Qg* 
ed  all  the  people  with  the  edge  of  the  25.  is.

9  But  Saul  and  the  people  «  spared  20.  sif* 
Agag,  and  the  ^  best  of  the  sheep,  and  1  Tim. 
of  the  oxen,  and  of  the  fallings,  and  the  ^J°-.

not  utterly  destroy   them  :    but   every 
thing  that  was  vile  and  refuse  that  they 
destroyed  utterly. 

lO^i Then  came  the  word  of  the  Lord 
unto  Samuel,  saying, 

11  It  "repenteth  me  that  I  have  set  up  "  ^*"-' 
Saul  to  be  king- :  for  he  is  ='  turned  back  jt'^Imu 
from  following  me,  and  hath  y  not  per-  14.  24.

grieved  Samuel ;   and  he  ^  cried  unto  z  ver.'as, 
the  Lord  all  night.  ^'i6l 

12  ^  And  when  Samuel  rose  early  to 
meet  Saul  in  the  morning,  it  was  told 
Samuel,  saying,  Saul  came  10  »  Carmel,  ^  j'jl^"* 
and,  behold,  he  set  him  up  a  place,  and 

is  gone  about,  and  passed  on,  and  gone 
down  to  Gilgal. 

13  And  Samuel  came  to  Saul ;  and 
Saul  said  unto  him.  Blessed  be  thou  of 

the  Lord:  ^  I  have  performed  the  com-  *ver.  11. 
mandment  of  t^e  L  o  r d.  27.T^4 

14  And  Samuel  said,  What  ineaneth  31! 31. 
then  this  bleating  of  the  sheep  in  mine  Luke 
ears,  and  the  Io^ving  of  the  oxen  which     *     ' 
I  hear  ? 

15  And  Saul  said.  They  have  brought 
them  from  the   Amalekites  :  for  the  '^  ^  *^|**-

said  to  me  this  night.     And  he  said  un-

arnl  the  Lor^D  anointed  thee  king  over 
Israel ? 

18  And  theLoKD  sent  thee  on  a  jour- 
ney, and  said,  Go,  and  utterly  destroy 
tlie  <^  sinners  tlic  Amalekites,  and  ti^ht 
ajr  lust  tiiem  mitil  tliey  be  consumed.. 

19  Wherefore  tlien  didst  tlioii  noi 
obey  tlie  voice  of"  the  Lord,  but  did.st 
K  fly  upon  tlie  sp'>il,  and  didst  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord  ? 

20  And  Saul  said  nnto  Samuel,  Yea, 
1  have  obeyed  the  voice  of  the  Lord, 
and  have  gone  the  way  which  the  Lord 
sent  me,  and  have  brought  ^  Agag  the 
king  of  Amalek,  and  have  utterly  de- 
stroyed the  Amalekites. 

21  But  tlie  '  people  took  of  tlie  spoil, 
sheep  and  oxen,  the  chief  of  the  things 
which  slioukl  have  been  utterly  destroy- 
ed, to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord  thy  God 
in  Gilgal. 

22  And  Samuel  said,  Hath  the  Lord 
as  great  ^  delight  in  burnt-ofFerings  and 
sacrifices  "as  in  obeying  the  voice  of  the 
Lord  ?  Behold,  '  to  obey  is  betterthan 
sacrilice  ;  «;k/ to  hearken  than  the  fat  of 
rams. 

23  For  m  rebellion  is  as  "  the  sin  of 
witchcraft,  and  stubbornness  is  as  ini- 
quity and  idolatry  :  because  thou  hast 
rejected  the  vvordofthe  Lord,  he  hath 
also  rejected  thee  from  /jcing  king. 

24  *[i  And  Saul  said  unto  Samuel,  I 
have  sinned  ;  for  I  have  transgressed  the 
commandment  of  the  Lord,  and  thy 
w  ords ;  because  °  I  feared  tiie  people, 
and  obeyed  their  voice. 

25  Now-,  t!:crefore,  I  pray  thee,  par- 
don my  sin,  and  turn  again  with  me, 
that  I  mav  v.'orship  the  Lord. 

26  And'Snmuel  said  unto  Saul,  P  I  will 
not  return  wit!)  thee  :  for  n  thou  hast  re- 
jected the  word  of  the  Lor.n,  and  the 
Lord  hatli  rejected  thee  from  being 
king  over  Israel. 

27  And  as  Samuel  turned  about  to  go 
away  he  laid  hold  upon  tlie  skirt  of  hi.s 
mantle,  .and  it  rent. 

23  And  Samuel  said  unto  him.  The 
Lord  hath  '  rent  the  kingdom  of  Israel 
from  thee  this  day,  and  hath  given  it  to 
a  neighbour  of  thine,  that  is  betterthan 
thou."  • 

29  And  also  the  Ij  Strength  of  Israel 
will  5  not  lie,  nor  repent :  tor  he  is  not 
'  a  m.an  tiiat  he  should  r'epent. 

30  Then  he  said,  I  have  sinned  ;  yet 
"  honour  me  now,  I  pray  thee,  before 
the  elders  of  my  people,  and  before  Is- 
rael, and  turn  again  \yith  me,  that  I 
may  worship  the  Lord  thy  God. 

31  So  Samuel  turned  again  after  Saul : 
and  Saul  worshipped  the  Loud. 

32  ^[Tlicn  said  Samuel,  Bring  ye  hi- 
ther to  me  A  gag  the  king  of  the  Ama- 
lekites :  and  Ag.ag  came  unto  him  de- 
ficately.  And  Agag  said,  Surely  the  " 
bilternes  of  death  is  past.         », 

33  And  Samuel  said,  y  As  thy  swonl 
baih  made  women  childless,  so  shall 


thy  mother  be  childless  among  women. 
And  ^Samuel  hewed  Agag  in  pieces  be- 
fore the  Lord  in  Gilgal. 

34  51  Then  Samuel  went  to  Ramah  ; 
and  Saul  went  up  to  his  house  to  Gibeah 
of  Saul. 

35  Ano' Samuel  came  no  more  »to  see 
Saul  until  the  da\  of  his  death :  never- 
theless Samuel  mourned  for  Saul :  and 
tl:e  Lord  repented  that  he  had  made 
Saul  king- over  Israel. 

CHAP.  XVI. 

I  Samuel,  being  sent  by  God  to  Beth-lc- 
heiii,  11  anointeth  David,  8cc. 

AND  the  Lord  said  unto  Samuel, 
How  long  wilt  thou  »  mourn  for  Saul, 
seeing,  I  have  rejected  him  from  reign- 
ing over  Israel  ?  Fill  thine  ^  horn  with 
oil,  and  go,  I  will  send  thee  to  Jesse  the 
Beth-lehemite  :  for  I  have  'provided  me 
^  king  among  his  sons. 

2  And  Samuel  said,  <'  Hovir  can  I  go  ? 
if  Saul  hear  it  he  will  kill  me.  And  the 
Lord  said.  Take  an  heifer  with  thee, 
and  say,  I  am  come  to  '  sacrifice  to  the 
Lord. 

3  And  call  Jesse  to  the  sacrifice,  and 
I  will  shew  thee  what  thou  shalt  do : 
and  thou  shalt  anoint  unto  me  him  whom 
I  name  unto  thee. 

4  And  Samuel  did  that  which  the 
Lord  spake,  and  came  toBeth-lehem; 
and  the  elders  of  the  town  'trembled  at 
his  coming,  and  said,  f  Comest  thou 
peaceably  ? 

5  And  he  said.  Peaceably  :  I  am  come 
to  sacrifice  unto  the  Lord:  g  sanctify 
yourselves,  and  come  with  me  to  the 
sacrifice.  And  he  sanctified  Jesse  and 
his  sons,  and  called  them  to  the  sacri- 
fice. 

6  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  they 
were  come,  that  he  looked  on  Eliab,  and 
^  said.  Surely  the  '  Lord's  anointed  is 
before  him. 

7  But  the  Lord  ^  said  unto  Samuel, 
Look  not  on  his  '  countenance,  or  on  the 
lit'ight  of  his  stature  ;  because  I  kave  '" 
r  fused  him  :  Wn-the  LORDseeth  not  as 
m.an  seeth  ;  for  man  looketh  on  the  " 
outward  appearance,  but  the  Lord 
looketh  on  the  °  heart. 

8  Then  Jesse  called  Abinadab,  and 
made  him  pass  before  Samuel.  And 
lie  said,  Neither  hath  the  Lord  chosen 

tliis. 

9  Then  Jesse  made  P  Shammah  to  pass 

!n'.  And  he  s£iid,  Neither  hath  the 
Lord  chosen  tliis. 

10  Again,  Jesse  mat1e  i  seven  of  his 
sons  to  pass  before  Samuel.  And  Sa- 
muel said  unto  Jesse,  The  Lord  hath 
not  chosen  these. 

1 1  And  Samuel  said  unto  Jesse,  Are 
:,prc  all  thy  children?  And  he  said. 
There  rcmaineth  yet  the  youngest,  and, 
xliold,  he  keepeth  the  sheep.  And  Sa-

cretly,  and  say,  Behold,  the  king  huth 
delight  in  thee,  and  all  his  servants  love 
ihee:  now,  therefore,  be  the  king's  son-

23  And  Saul*s  servants  spake  t!iose 
words  in  the  ears  of  David.  And  David 
said,  Seemeth  it  to  you  a  lijcht  thing  to 
be  a  kini^'s  son-in-law,  seeing  that  I  avi 
>'  a  poor  man,  and  lightly  esteemed  ?

saying,  f  On  this  manner  spake  David.

to  David,  The  king-  dr-sireth  not  any

Philistines,  to  be  avenged  of  the  king's

David  f:dl  by  the  hand  of  the  Phijistines.

these  words,  f  it  pleased  David  well  to 
be  the  ling's  son-in-law  ;  and  the  days 
were  not  expired. 

27  Wherefore  David  arose,  and  went, 
he  and  his  men,  and  slew  of  the  Philis- 1 
tines   two   hundred   men ;    and   David 
brought  their  foreskins,  and  they  gave  i 
them   in  full  t  ta't^  to  the  king,  that  he

he  saith.  Let  not  Jonathan  know  this 
lest  he  be  grieved  :  but  truly,  ''  as  tiie

I  should  not  fail  to  sit  with  the  king  at

thee:  for  if  I  knew  certainly  that  evil 
were  determined  by'  my  father  to  come    9

11  ^  And  Jonathan  said  unto  David,

Proverbs  ^h;.!!  he  be  slam  ?  what  liath  he  done? 

33  And  Saul  cast  a  javelin  at  him  to 
smite  him  ;  whereby  Jonathan  knew 
that  it  was  determined  of  his  father  to 
slay  David. 

34  So  Jonathan  arose  from  the  table 
in  fierce  anger,  and  did  eat  no  meat  tlie

Philistines  :  therefore   they  called  that 
fver.  25.  place  Sela-hammahlekoth.

CHAP.  XXIV. 

4  David  in  a  cave  cutteth  off  Snul^s  skirt, 
but  spareth  his  life.  16  Saul  acinovi- 
ledgeth  his  fault,  and  departeth. 

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  Saul  was 
returned » from  following  the  Philistines, 
that  it  was  b  told  him,  saying',  Behold, 
David  is  in  the  wilderness  of  <^  En-gedi. 

2  Then  Saul  took  three  thousand  cho- 
sen men  out  of  all  Israel,  and  went  <*  to 
seek  David  and  his  men  upon  the  rocks 
of  the  wild  goats. 

3  And  he  came  to  tlie  sheep-cotes  by 
the  way,  where  voas  a  ca\e;  and  Saul 
went  in  to  «  cover  his  feet :  and  David 
and  his  men  remained  in  the  sides  of  the 
cave. 

4  And  the  men  of  David  said  unto 
him.  Behold  Hheday  of  whichtheLoRD 
said  unto  thee.  Behold,  I  will  deliver 
thine  enemy  into  thine  hand,  that  thou 
maye  tdo  to  him  as  it  shall  seem  good 
unto  thee.  Then  David  arose,  and  cut 
off  the  skirt  of  Saul's  |j    obe  privily. 

5  And  it  came  to  pass  afterward,  that ' 
David'i  heart  ?  smote  him,  because  he  i 
iiad  cut  off  Saul's  skirt. 

6  And  he  said  unto  his  men.  The  i 
Lord  forbid  that  I  s  ould  do  this  thing 
unto  ■'  my  master,  the  Lord's  anoint- j 
ed,  to  stretch  forth  mine   hand  against  | 
liim,  seeing  he  is  the  anointed  of  the 
Lord. 

7  So  David  ■  stayed  his  servants  with 
these  words,  and  sufTered  them  not  to 
rise  against  Saul.  But  Saul  rose  up  out 
of  the  cave,  and  went  on  his  way. 

8  fl  David  also  rose  afterward,  and 
went  out  of  the  cave,  and  cried  after 
Saul,  saying.  My  lord  the  king.  And, 
when  Saul  looked  beliind  him,  David 
stooped  with  his  face  to  the  earth,  and 
bowed  himself. 

9  And  David  said  to  Saul,  Wherefore 
■<  hearest  thou  men's  words,  saying.  Be- 
hold, David  seekeih  thy  hurt  ? 

10  Behold,  this  day  thine  eyes  have 
seen  how  that  the  Lord  hath  delivered 
thee  to-day  into  mine  hand  in  the  cave : 
and  some  bade  me  kill  thee  :  but  mine 
eye  spared  thee  :  and  I  said,  I  will  not 
put  forth  mine  hand  against  my  loi'd  ; 
for  he  is  tlie  Lord's  anointed. 

11  Moreover,  '  my  father,  see  ;  yea, 
see  th:-  skirt  of  thy  robe  in  my  hand  : 
for  in  that  I  cutotithe  skirt  of  thy  robe, 
;ind  killed  thee  not,  know  thou  and  see 
that  there  is  neither  '"  evil  nor  transgres- 
sion in  mine  hand,  and  I  have  not  siu-

ned  against  thee  ;  yet  thou  »  huntest  my 

soul  to  take  it. 

12  The  °  Lord  judge  between  me 
and  thee,  and  the  Loud  p  avenge  me  ot 
thee  ;  but  mine  hand  shall  not  be  i  upon 
thee. 

13  As  saith  the  proverb  of  the  anci- 
ents, '  Wickedness  proceedeth  from  tli 
wicked  :  but  *  mine  hand  shall  not  be 
upon  thee. 

14  After  whom  is  » the  king  of  Israel 
come  out  ?  after  whom  dost  thou  pursue? 
after  °  a  dead  dog,  after  a  flea  ; 

15  The  Lord,  therefore,  be  judge, 
and  judge  between  me  and  thee,  and  " 
see,  and  y  plead  my  cause,  and  deliver 
me  out  of  thine  hand. 

16  ^  And  it  came  to  pass.  When  Da- 
vid had  made  an  end  of  speaking  these 
words  unto  Saul, that  Saul  said,  ^  Is  this 
thy  voice,  *  my  son  David?  And  Saui 
lifted  up  his  voice,  and  wept. 

17  And  he  said  to  David,  Thou  art 
more  righteous  than  I ;  fur  thou  hast  ^ 
re'vvarded  me  good,  whereas  I  have  re- 
warded thee  evil. 

18  And  thou  hast  shewed  this  day 
how  that  thou  hast  dealt  well  with  me  : 
forasmuch  as,  when  the  Lord  had  de- 
livered me  into  tliine  hand,  thou  killedst 
me  not. 

19  For  if  a  man  find  his  enemy,  will 
he  let  him  go  well  away  ?  Wherefjre  the 
Lord  reward  thee  good  for  that  thou 
hast  done  unto  me  <;  this  day. 

20  And  now,  behold,  ^  I  know  well 
that  thou  shall  surely  be  king,  and  thai 
the  kingdom  of  Israel  shall  be  establish- 
ed in  thine  hand. 

21  Swear  now,  therefore,  unto  me  by 
the  Lord,  that  thou  wilt  not  cut  off  my 
seed  after  me,  and  that  thou  wilt  not  de- 
stroy my  name  out  of  my  father's  house. 

22  And  David  'sware  unto  Saul.  And 
Saul  went  home  ;  but  David  and  his 
men  *gat  them  up  unto  the  hold.

AND  Samuel  ^  died  ;  and  all  the  Is- 
raelites were  gathered  together,  and  ^ 
lamented  him,  and  buried  him  in  his 
house  at  Ramah.  And  David  arose,  anfl 
went  down  to  the  wilderness  of  "^Paran. 

2  And  there  ivas  a  man  in  d  Mann, 
whose  ■=  jjossessions  ivere  in  Carmel,  and 
the  man  =u;«j  'very  great,  and  he  had 
three  thousand  sheep,  and  a  thousand 
goats:  and  he  was  shearing  his  sheep 
in  Carmel. 

3  Now  the  name  of  the  man  luas

vii  in  his  doings;  and  he  indn  of  the 
house  of  Caleb.

David's  message  to  N'aba!. 


5  And  David  sent  out  ten  young  men; 
aiul  David  said  unto  the  yoiiug-  mt-.ii.. 
Get  you  up  to  C.irmel,  and  ^'O  to  Nabal, 
and  greet  him  in  my  name. 

6  And  thus  siiHil  ye  s:iy  to  him  that

thee,  and  peace  be  to  'i  thine  house,  and 
peace  be  unto  all  that  tliou  hast. 

7  And  now  I  have  hi-ard  that  thou

''t*k^'       tV  servants,  and  to  thy  son  David. 
8.io!  ^    ^''^^^   when    David's   young  men 

came,  they  spake  to  Nnbal  accorciing  to 
all  tho«e  words,  in  Uie  name  of  David, 
and  ce.ised. 

10  ^\  And  Nab;U  answered  David's 
servants,  and  said,  '^  Who  is  David.' 
and  v.'ho  is  the  son  of  Jesse?  Thr.re  be 
many  servants  Jiow-a-days  that  break 
away  every  man  «  from  his  master. 

11  Siiall  I  then  take  °  my  bread  and 
my  P  water,  and  my  tiesh  that  I  have 
killed  for  my  shearers,  and  qgive  it  un- 
to mc-ii  whom  I  know  not  whence  they 
be? 

12  f  So  David's  young  men  turned 
iheir  wa}',  a:id  v.eat  again,  and  came 
and  told  him  all  those  sayings. 

13  And  David  said  unto  his  men, 
s  Gird  ye  on  every  mwn  his  sword.  And 
they  girded  on  every  man  his  sword, 
and  David  also  girded  on  his  sword; 
and  there  went  up  after  David  about 
four  Imndi-ed  men,  and  two  hundred  a- 

and24.  6.  bode  by  the  stuiK 

14  ^1  But  one  of  tlie  young  men  told 
Abigail,  Nabal's  wife,  saying,  Behold, 
David  sent  messengers  out  of  the  wil- 
derness to  salute  our  master  ;  and  he 
railed  on  iheni. 

15  But  the  men  i\:ere  very  good  unto 
us,  and  we  were  f  not  hurt,  neitiier 
n\issed  we  any  thing,  as  long  as  we  were 
conversant  with  them,  when  we  were  in 
the  fields. 

16  They  were  "  a  wall  unto  us,  botii 
by  night  and  day,  all  the  while  we  were 
with  them  keepmg  the  sheep. 

17  Now,  ilierefore,  know  and  consi- 
der  what  thou  wilt  do;  for  evil  is  deter- 
mined against  our  master,  and  against 
ail  his  household  :  for  he  is  such  a  son  of 
"  Belial,  that  a  man  y  cannot  speak  to

mhTst  ^''^^^^^^  l^e  t^«  Lord  God  of  Israel, 
cii.'ioeo.  which  sent  thee  this  day  to  meet  me  : 
K.gr^r>J  33  And  blessed  6e  thy  advice,  am' 
hiesscd  de  thou,  which  liast  kept  m<- 
this  day  from  coming  to  shed  blood,  aiul 
from  avenging  myself  with  mine  own 
hand. 

34  Fop  in  very  deed,  as  the  I.oud 
God  of  Israel  liveth,  which  hath  kept 
me  h.ick  from  hurting-  thee,  except  tiiou 
hadst  hasted,  and  come  to  meet  me, 
surely  tliere  had  not  been  left  unto  Na- 
bal,  by  the  morning  light,  any  that  piss- 
eth  against  the  wail. 

35  So  David  received  of  her  hand  that 
which  she  had  brought  him,  and  said 
tmto  her,  Go  up  in  peace  to  thine  house  : 
see,  I  have  hearkened  to  thy  voice,  and 
ha<e  accepted  ihy  person. 

36^1  And  Abigail  came  to  Nabal ;  and, 
behold,  he  held  '  a  feast  in  his  house 
like  tie  feast  of  a  king;  and  N  .bal'.s 
heart  vcas  merry  w  ithin  hi;>i,  for  he  was 
very  t  drunken  :  wherefofe  she  told  him 
"  nothing,  les>  or  more,  until  the  morn- 
ing liglit. 

37  But  i'  came  to  puss  in  the  morn- 
ing, when  the  wine  was  gone  out  of  Na- 
bal, audhisuie  had  told  "  liim  these 
things,  that  his  heart  y  died  within  him, 
and  he  became  as  a  stone. 

3S  And  it  ca  to  pass,  about  ten 
days  after,  that  the  Lore  smote  Nabal, 
that  he  died. 

39  ^1  And  when  David  heard  that  Na- 
bal was  dead  lie  said,  Blessed  he  the 
Lord,  that  hath  ^  pleaded  ilie  cause  of 
my  reproach  from  the  hand  of  Nabal, 
and  hath  kept  his  servant  i'rom  evil:  for 
the  Lord  ha'h  returned  the  wickedness 
of  Nahal  »  upon  his  own  liead.  And 
David  sent  and  communed  M'ith  Abi- 
gail, *>  to  take  her  to  him  to  wife. 

40  Anrl  when  the  servants  of  David 
were  come  to  Abigail  to  Carmel,  the\ 
spake  unto  her,  saving,  David  sent  us 
unto  thee,  to  take  thee  to  him  to  wife. 

41  And  she  arose,  and  bowed  herself 
on  her  i'ace  to  the  earth,  and  said.  Be- 
hold, /cf  thine  handmaid  /;c;i  servant  "^to 
wash  the  feet  of  the  servants  of  m\'  lord. 

42  And  Abigail  hasted,  and  arose, 
and  rode  upon  an  ass,  with  five  damsels 
of  hi-rs  that  went  f  after  her;  and  she 
went  after  the  messengers  of  David, 
and  became  his  wife. 

43  David  also  took  Ahinotim  of  ^  Jez- 
reel,  and  they  were  also  both  of  them 
his  wives. 

44  «[[  But  Saul  had  given  Michal  his

2  An  Amalekite  bringing  tidings  of  the 

defeat  of  the  Israelites,  an'.!   accusing 

liiniseij  ff  the  death  of  Said,  13  David 

causeih  him  to  be  slain.     17  David  la- 

menteth  Saul  and  Jonathan. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass,  after  tlie  death 

of  Siiul,  vlieii  D;ivicl  was  returned  from 

^  the  slausfliter  or  the  Amalekites,  :<nd 

D;ivid  liad  abode  ''  two  days  in  Ziklag-; 

2  It  camr  even  to  pass  on  the  third 
day,  that,  behold,  a  man  came  out  of 
the  camp  from  Saul,  witli  his  "^  clothes 
rent,  and  ^  e:a-th  upon  his  head  :  and 
so  it  was,  w hen  he  came  to  David,  that 
he  fell  to  the  eartii,  and  did  obeisance. 

3  And  David  said  unto  him.  From 
whence  comest  thou  I  And  he  said  imto 
him,  Out  of  the  camp  of  Israel  am  I 
escaped. 

4  And  David  said  unto  him,  ILnv 
went  the  mater?  1  pray  thee,  teli  me. 
And  he  answered,  That  the  people  are 
fled  from  the  battle,  and  many  of  the 
people  also  are  fallen  and  dead,  and 
Saul  and  Joiialhan  his  son  are  d(.  ad  also. 

5  And  Da^id  said  unto  the  yijung 
man  tiiat  told  him,  =  Howknowes:  thou 
that  Saul  and  Jonathan  his  son  be  dead  ? 

6  And  the  young-  man  tliat  told  him 
said,  t  As  !  happened  by  cliance  upon 
mount  f  Gilboa,  behold,  Saul  leaned 
upon  his  spear  ;  and,  lo,  the  chariots  and 
horsemen  f  f.'Uovved  hard  afiei-  him. 

7  And  w  hen  he  looked  beiiind  him  he 
saw  me,  and  called  unto  me  :  and  I  an- 
swered,  liercr  am  I. 

S  And  lie  said  unto  me,  Who  art 
thou  ?  And  I  ansv  ered  him,  I  avi  %  an 
Amalekite. 

9  He  said  unto  me  as^nin,  Stand,  I 
pray  tlice,  upon  me,  and  slay  me  ;  ior 
anguish  is  come  upon  me,  because  my 
life  /*  yet  whole  in  me. 

10  So  I  stood  upon  him,  and  '<  slew 
him,  because  I  was  sure  that  he  could 
not  live  after  that  he  was  fallen  ;  and  I 
took  the  crown  that  vjas  upon  iiis  head 
and  tl-.e  bracelet  that  vias  on  ins  arm, 
and  have  brourjht  them  hither  unto  mv 
lord. 

1 1  U  Tiien  David  took  hold  on  his 
clothes,  and  '  rent  them,  and  likewise 
all  the  men  that  naere  with  him. 

12  And  they  ^  mourned  and  wept, 
and  fasted  until  even  for  Saul,  and  ibr 
Jonathan  his  soh,  and  for  the  people  of 


the  Lord,  and  for  the  house  of  Israel ; 
because  they  were  fallen  by  the  'Wid. 

13^  And  David  said  unto  the  yung 
man  that  told  him,  'Wiicnce  art  thou  ? 
And  he  answered,  I  am  the  son  of  a 
stranger,  an  Amalekite. 

14  And  David  said  unto  liim.  How 
wast  tfiou  '  not  afraid  to  stretch  forth 
thine  hand  •"  to  destroy  "  the  Lord's 
anointed  ? 

15  And  David  called  one  of  the  younj; 
men,  :.rd  saic;,  Go  near,  and  fall  upon 
!iim.     And  he  °  smote  him  tliat  he  died. 

16  And  David  sp/id  unto  him,  pT1i\ 
blood  be  upon  thy  liead  :  for  thy  moutl. 
hath  testified  acainst  thee,  saying,  I 
have  slain  the  Lord'.^ anointed. 

17  %  And  David  lamented  with  q  thi? 
lameni:.tion  over  Saul,  and  over  Jona- 
than his  son  : 

18  (Also  he  bade  them  teach  the  r 
cliildrcn  of  Ju'^  !*  the  u,e  rf^  the  bow  ; 
behold,  it  is  written  in  the  book  of  Ja- 
siier  :) 

19  The  t  beauty  of  Israel  is  slain  upon' 
thy  high  places  :  how  are  tlie  miglitv 
fallen! 

20  Tell  it  not  "  in  Gath,  publish  it 
i!0t  in  the  streets  of  Askeion  ;  lest  the 
daughters  of  the  Philistines  rejoice,  lest 
the  "  daughters  of  the  uncircumcised 
triumph. 

21  Ye  mountains  of  Gilboa,  let  there 
be  no  dew,  neither  let  there  be  rain  upon 
yoUj  nor  f  fields  of  offerings  :  for  there 
the  shield  of  the  mighty  is  vilc-l;  casi 
awav,  the  shield  of  Sau!,  as  though  he 
had  not  been  >'  anoi'.ted  with  oil. 

22  From  the  blood  of  the  sLain,  from 
the  fat  of  the  mighty,  the  bow  of  Jona- 
than turned  not  back,  and  the  sword  of 
Saul  returned  not  empty. 

23  Said  and  Jonathan  tvere  ^  lovely  and 
pleasant  in  their  liv  s,  ar.din  their  de.ith 
they  were  not  divided:  they  were  swifter 
than  eagles,  they  were  stronger  than 
lions. 

24  Ye  daughters  of  Israel,  »  weep 
over  Saul,  v  ho  i>  clothed  you  in  scarlet, 
with  other  "  delights  ;  who  put  onorna- 
metits  of  gold  upon  your  ajiparel. 

2,5  How  are  the  '^  mighty  fallen  in  the 
midst  of  the  b.attle  !  O  Jonathan,  thou 
tvast  slain  in  thine  high  places. 

25  I  am  distressed  for  thee,  my  bro- 
titer  Jonatli an  ;  very  pleasant  hast  thou 
been  unto  me  :  thy  love  to  me  was  « won- 
derful, passing  the  love  of  women.

14  And  David  sent  messenfjers  to

one  my  wife  iVIicIial,  wliir'h  I  espoused 
to  me  for  an  hundred  a  foreskms  of  thc-

15  And  Ish-bosheth  sent  and  t'ok  her

16  And  her  husband  v\ent  with  her

return.     And  he  returned.

with  the  elders  of  Israel,  sayini;-,  Ve 
j  tight  for  David  in  times  past  to  be 
king  o\er  yoli. 

18  Now  then  do  it;  for  z  the  Lour-

my  people  Israel  out  of  tiie  hand  of  th' 
Pliilisiincs,  and  out  of  the  hand  of  all

2U  So  Abner  ^  came  to  David  to  He- 
bron, and  twenty  men  with  him  :  and 
David  made  Abner,  and  the  men  that 
lure  with  him,  a  feast. 

21  And  Abner  said  unto  David,  I  will 
arise  and  go,  and  w  ill  gather  <■  all  Israe 
unto  my  lonl  the  king,  that  they  mas 
make  a  league  with  thee,  and  th.-.t  thou 
mayest  reign  over  all  that  thine  hear' 
desireth.  And  David  sent  Abner  awa}  ; 
and'he  went  in  peace. 

22  ^f  And,  behold,  the  servants  of  Da-

and  brougljt  in  a  great  spoil  with  them  : 
but  Abner  'xas  not  with  David  in  He-

was  gone  in  peace. 

23  When  Joab  and  all  the  host  that

24  Then  J<-ab  came  to  the  king,  and 
said,  What  hast  tliou  done  ]  b  hold.

<,^^'-^J  2r  And,  when  Abner  was  returned  to 
ftiKings  Hebron,  Joab  took  him  i'  aside  in  the 
3-  5.  gate,  to  speak  with  him  f  quietly  ;  and 
Vlte-'  smote  hi7n  there  under  the  '  fittli  r/6, 
jA/v,Jer.  that  he  died,  for  the  blood  of  Asahel 
his  brothej*. 

28  ^  And  afterward,  when  David 
heard  it,  he  said,  I  and  my  king'dom 
are  ^  g'liltless  before  the  Lord  for  ever 
from  the  t  blood  of  Abner,  the  son  of 
Ner  ; 

29  1  Let  it  rest  on  the  head  of  Joab, 
and  on  all  his  father's  house  ;  and  let 
there  not  fni\  from  the  house  of  Joab, 
one  that  hath  ™  an  issue,  or  that  is  a 
leper,  or  that  leaneth  on  j|  a  staff,  or 
that  falleth  on  the  sword,  or  that  lacketh 
bread. 

30  So  Joab  and  Abishai  his  brother 
slew  Abner,  because  he  had  "  slain  their 
brother  Asahel  at  Gibeon  in  the  battle. 

31  ^  And  David  said  "  'o  Joab,  and 
to  all  the  people  that  were  with  him. 
Rend  your  clothes,  and  gird  you  with 
sackcloth,  and  mourn  p  before  Abner. 
And  king  David  iiimself  followed  the 
bier. 

32  And  they  buried  Abner  in  Hebron : 
Romans  ^"^1  tile  king  lifted  up  his  voice,  and  q 
13. 4.        wept  at  the  grave  of  Abner ;  and  all  the 

people  wept. 

2i  And  the  king  lamented  over  Ab- 
ner, and  said.  Died  Abner  as  a  fool 
dieth  ? 

34  Thy  hands  luere  not  bound,  nor  thy 
feet  put  into  tetters  :  as  a  man  falleth 
before  f  wicked  men,  so  fellest  thou. 
And  all  the  people  wept  again  over  him.

and  Jonathan  out  of  =  Jezreel,  and  his 
nurse  took  him  up,  and  fled  :  and  it 
came  to  pass,  as  she  made  haste  to  flee, 
that  he  fell,  and  became  lame  ;  and  his 
name  luas  Mephibosheth. 

5  And  the  sons  of  Rimmon  the  Beer- 
othite,  Rectiab  and  Baanah  f  went,  and 
came  about  the  heat  of  the  day  to  the 
house  of  Ish-bosheth,  who  lay  on  a  bed 
at  noon. 

6  And  they  came  thitlier  into  the 
midst  of  the  house,  us  though  they  would 
have  s  fetched  wheat  :  and  they  smote 

j  him  under  the  liilh  ''  rib .-  and  Rechab 
and  Baanah  his  brother  escaped. 

7  For  when  ihey  came  into  the  house 
he  lay  on  his  bed  in  his  bed-chamber, 
and  they  smote  him,  and  slew  him,  and 
beheaded  him,  and  ■  took  his  head,  and 
gat  them  away  through  the  plain  all 
night. 

y  And  they  brought  the  Iiead  of  Ish- 
boshelh  unto  David  to  Hebron,  and  said 
to  the  king.  Behold  the  head  of  Ish- 
bosheth,  the  son  of  Saul  thine  enemy, 
which  sought  thy  f  lilt;  ;  and  the  Lord 
hath  'avenged  my  lou^the  king  this  day 
of  S.iul,  and  of  his  seed. 

9  ^1  And  David  answered  Rechab  and 
Baanah  his  brolhe;-,  the  '^ons  of  Rim- 
mon the  Beerolhile,  and  said  unto  them, 
As  the  Lord  livetli,  who  hath  ^  re- 
deemed my  soul  out  of  all  adversity, 

10  Wlien  '  one  told  me,  saying.  Be- 
hold, Saul  is  dead  (thinking  to  have 
bruuglit  good  tidiHgs)  1  took  lioid  o; 
him,  and  slew  him  in  Ziklag,  who  thought 
that  1  wouk'  have  given  him  a  reward 
f  r  his  tidings  : 

11  How  much  more,  when  wicked 
men  have  slain  a  nghteius  person  in 
his  own  liouse  upon  his  bed  ?  shall  1  not, 
tiierefore,  now  '"  require  his  blood  of 
your  hand,  and  take  you  away  fron»  the 
earth  ? 

i2  And  David  commanded  his  young 
men,  and  they  "  slew  taem,  and  cut  oii 
iicir  hands  and  their  feet,  "  and  hang- 
ed t/icm  up  over  the  pool  in  Hebron  :

died  hy  the  ark  of  God. 

8  And  David  was  <>  dis])leased,  be- 
cause the  Lord  had  made  a  breacii 
upon  Uzzah  ;  and  lie  called  the  name  of 
the  place  Perez-uzzah  to  this  day. 

9  And  David  was  p  afraid  of  the  Lord 
that  day,  and  said,  'i  How  shall  the  ark 
of  tlie  Lord  come  to  me? 

10  So  David  would  not  remove  t!ie 
ark  of  the  Lord  unto  him  into  tlie  city 
of  David;  bit  David  carried  it  aside  in- 
to the  houseof  r  Obed-edom'.he'Gittite.  I 

11  And  the  ark  of  the  Lop.d  conti-| 
nued  in  tlie  house  of  Obed-edom  the

'  blessed  Obed-edom,  and  all  his  house-

saying,  n  The  Lord  hath  blessed  the 
house  of  Obed-edom,  and  all  that  per- 
tniiicth  unto  him,  because  of  the  ark  of

the  ark  of  God  from  the  house  of  Obed- 
edom  into  the  city  of  David  with  glad- 
ness. 

13  And  it  was  so,  that,  when  they 
that  "  bare  the  ark  of  the  Lord  had

14  And  David  danced  before  the

voas  girded  with  a  linen  ^  ephod. 

15  So.  David  and  »  all  the  house  .of 
Israel  brought  up  the  ark  of  the  Lord 
with  !>  shouting,  and  with  the  sound  of 
the  trumpet. 

16  And  as  the  ark  of  the  Lord  came 
into  the  city  of  David,  "^  Michal,  Saul's 
daughter,  looked  through  a  window,  and 
saw  king  David  leaping  and  dancing  be- 
fore the  Lord  ;  and  she  '^  despised  him 
in  her  heart. 

17  ^  And  they  brought  in  the  ark  of 
the  Lord,  and  set  it  in  his  place,  in 
the  midst  of  the  tabernacle  that  David 
had  t  pitched  for  it :  ami  David  ottered 
burnt-otlerings  and  peace-otlerings  be- 
fore the  Lord. 

IS  And  as  soon  as  David  had  made 
an  end  of  offering  burnt-offerings  and 
peace-ofierings,  he  ^  blessed  the  people 
ill  the  name  of  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

19  And  he  dealt  among  all  the  people, 
even  among  the  whole  multitude  of  Is- 
rael, as  well  to  the  women  as  men,  to 
every  one  a  cake  of  bread,  and  a  good 
piece  ofjiesh,  and  a  fiagon  oJ\vine.  So 
all  the  people  departed  every  one  to  his 
house. 

20  ^  Then  David  returned  f  to  bless 
his  household.  And^Michal,  the  daugh-

and  said,  g  How  glorious  was  the  king

to-day  in  the  eyes  of  the  handmaids  of 
Lis  servants,  as  one  of  the  ''  vain  fellows

sat  before  the  Lord,  and  he  said,  ''Who 

Matthew  am  I,  O  Lord  God  .'  and  wh.d  h  my

erto ? 

19  And  <=  this  was  yet  a  small  thing 
in  thy  sight,  O  Lord  God  ;  but  thuu 
hast  spoken  also  of  thy  servant's  house 
for  a  f  great  wiiile  to  come;  and  is  this 
the  f  manner  of  man,  O  Lord  God? 

20  And  what  can  David  say  more

23  And  what  "  one  nation  in  the  earth 
is  like  thy  people,  eien  like  Israel,  whom 
God  went  to  redeem  for  a  people  to 
himseit,  aHd  to  nuike  him  a  name,  and 
to  do  for  you  great  things,  and  terrible, 
for  thy  land,  before  thy  people,  which 
thou  n  redeemedst  lo  thee  from  Egypt, 

from  the  nations  and  their  gods? 

24  For  thou  hast  conhrmed  to  thyself

2o  And  now,  O  Lord  God,  the  word

10  And  when  they  had  told  David, 
saying,  Uriah  went  not  down  unto  his

thou  not  from  thy  journey  ?  why  then 
didst  thou  not  go  down  unto  thine

let  thee  depart.  So  Uriah  abode  in  Je-

some  of  the  people  of  the  servants  of 
Davi.i ;  and  Uriali  tlie  Hittite  died  ulso. 

18  *i\  Then  Joab  sent  and  told  David 
all  the  tilings  concerning'  the  war  ; 

19  And  charged  the  messenger,  say- 
ing, \Vhenthou  hast  made  an  end  of  tell- 
ing the  miitters  of  the  war  unto  the  king, 

20  And  if  so  be  that  the  king's  wiaih 
arise,  and  he  say  unto  thee.  Wherefore 
approached  ye  so  nigh  unto  the  citv 
when  ye  did  hght  ?  knew  ye  not  that 
they  wDidd  shoot  from  the  wall  ? 

Jl  Who  smote  ^  Abimelech,  tlie  son 
of '  jerubbeslieth  ]  did  not  a  woman  cast 
a  piece  of  a  millstone  upon  him  from  the 
wall  that  he  died  in  Thehez  ?  why  went 
ye  nigh  the  wall  ?  Then  say  tiiou.  Thy 
servant  Uriah  the  Hittite  is'dead  :<l^o. 

22  "jl  So  the  messenger  went  and  came 
and  shewed  David  all  that  Joab  had  sent 
him  for. 

23  And  the  messenger  said  unto  Da- 
vid, Surely  the  men  prevailed  against 
us,  and  came  out  unto  us  into  the  field, 
and  we  were  upon  them  even  unto  the 
entering  of  the  gate. 

24  And  ti'e  shooters  shot  from  ofr'the 
wall  upon  thy  servants,  and  some  of  the 
king's  s-rvants  be  dead,  and  thy  servant 
Uriah  the  Hittite  is  dead  also. 

25  Then  David  said  unto  the  messen- 
ger, Thus  shall  thou  say  unto  Joab,  Let 
not  this  thing  \  displease  thee  ;  for  the 
sword  devoureth  f  one  as  well  as  ano- 
ther :  make  thy  battle  more  strong 
against  the  cit) ,  and  "  overthrow  it ; 
and  encourage  thou  him. 

26  ^  And  when  the  wife  of  Uriah 
heard  that  Uriah  her  husband  was  dead, 
she  mourned  for  her  husband. 

27  And  when  the  mourning  was  past, 
David  sent  and  f  fetched  her  to  his 
house,  and  she  became  his  wife,  and 
bare  him  a  son  :  but  the  thing  that  Da- 
vid bad  done  displeased  the  Loud. 

CHAP.  XII. 

1  Natliait's  parable   of  the  eve-lamb  : 

7  he  applieth  it  to  David,  vJio  corfcss- 

eth  his  si?t.     24  Solonion  is  horn. 

AND  the  Lord  sent  -^Nathan  unto 

David:  ;tnd  lie  came  unto  him,  and  said 

imto  him,  ^  There  were  two  inen  in  one 

city  ;  the  one  rich,  and  the  other  poor. 

2  The  rich  •tnan  had  exceeding  ■=  many 
flocks  and  nerds ; 

3  But  the  poor  7?2rt;!  had  nothing  save 
one  little  ewe-lamb,  whicli  he  had  bougiit, 
and  nourished  up  ;  and  it  grew  up  to- 
gether with  him,  and  with  his  children: 
it  did  eat  of  his  own  +  meat,  and  drank 
of  his  own  cup,  and  lay  in  his  ^  bosom, 
and  was  unto  him  as  a  daughter. 

4  And  there  came  a  =  traveller  unco 
the  rich  man  ;  and  he  spared  to  take  of 
his  own  flock,  and  of  his  own  herd,  to 
dress  for  tiie  way-faring  man  that  wa:- 
coaie  <info  him  ;  but  took  the  poor  man's 
lamh,  and  dressed  it  for  the  man  that 
W.1S  come  to  him. 


5   And   David's  anger  was  greatly    Before 
kindled  against  the  man :  and  he  said  to  Christ 
Nathan,  As  the  Lord  liveth,  the  man  \L,.^' 
ti.at  hath  done  this  thir,g  \  shall  surely  -f-  Heb.

of  Israel,   '>  I   anointed  thee  king  over  ^.  2, 12.

would,  moreover,  hnve  given  unto  thee  16.  .'>.

9  Wherefore  ^  hast  thou  despised  the  ^  j-^p 
commandment  of  the  Lor.D,  to  do  evil  11. 14. 
in  his  sight  r  Thou  hast  killed  Uriah  the  fj'^j^ 
Hittite  with  the  sword,  and  hast  taken 

his  wife  to  be  thy  wife,  and  hast  slain 
him  with  the  sword  of  the  children  of 
Ammon. 

10  .Now,  therefore,  the  "  sword  shall  „  Rei- 
never  depart  from  thine  house ;  because  i3.  lo. 
thou  hast  despised  me,  and  hast  taken 

the  wife  of  Uriah  the  Hittite  to  be  thy 
wife. 

11  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold,  ol  « Amos 
will  raise  up  evil  against  thee  out  of-^- 
thine  own  house,  and  I  will  take  tiiy 
wives  before  thine  eyes,  and  give  them  15,24.

will  do  this  tiling  before  all  Israel,  and  tHeb.    ,

13  And  David  said  unto   Nathan,  I  over, 
have  P  sinned  ag.iinst  the  Lord.     And  £^^P' 
Nathan  said  unto   David,   The   LoRDichron.

15  ^  And  Nath.an  departed  unto  his  3.4.  '

10  heformeth  a  conspiracy.  13  Da- 
mid  fiteth  ftotn,  Jerusalem:  31  his 
prayer. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  after  this,  that 
Absalom  »  prepared  him  cliariots  and 
Proverbs  horscs,  and  fifty  men  to  run  before  him. 
;  11. 2.  aiid  2  And  Absalom  '•"  rose  up  early,  and 
stood  beside  the  way  of  the  gate :  and 
it  was  so,  I  hat  when  any  man  that  had  a 
Macthew  controversy  came  to  the  king  for  judg- 
^^'^'  ment,  then  Absalom  called  unto  him, 
and  said,  Of  what  city  art  thou  I  And 
he  said,  Thy  servant  is  of  one  of  the 
tribes  of  Israel- 

3  And  Absalom  said  unto  him,  See, 
thy  matters  are  '  good  and  right ;   but 

rbs  there  is  no  man  deputed  of  the  king  to 
hear  thee. 

4  Absalom  said  moreover.  Oh  that  I 
were  <*  made  j'ldge  in  the  land,  that  eve- 
ry man  which  hath  any  suit  or  cause 
might  come  unto  me,  and  =  I  would  do

he  put  tbrlh  liis  hand,  and  took. him, 
and  kissed  him. 

6  And  on  this  manner  did  Absalom 
to  all  Israel  that  came  to  the  king  for 
judgment.      So     Absalom  '  stole   the 

Proverbs  hearts  of  the  men  of  Israel 

7  1i  And  it  came  to  pass  s  after  forty 
years,  that  Absalom  said  unto  the  king, 
I  pray  thee,  let  me  go  and  ^  pay  my 
vow  which  I  have  vowed  unto  the  Lord 
in  Hebron.

I  abode  at  '  Geshur  in  Syria,  saying.  If 
the  Lord  shall  bring  me  again  indeed 
to  Jerusalem,  then  I  will  k  serve  tlie

to  keep  the  house.  16. 22. 

17  And  the  king  went  forth,  and  all 
the  people  after  him,  and  tarried  in  a 
place  that  was  far  off. 

18  And  all  his  sen-ants  passed  on  be-

:.ll  the  Pelethites,  and  all  the  Gitlites,        " 
six  hundred  men  which  came  after  him 
from  G.ith,  passed  or.  before  tlie  king. 

19  ^;  Then  said  the  king  to  Ittai  the  » "  "^^^P* . 
Gittite,  Wherefore  goest  thou  also  with  {^^  2.

also  an  exile. 

20  ^\^hereas  thou  earnest  but  yester- 
day, should  I  this  driy  make  thee  go  up

I  may,  return  thou,  and  take  back  thy 
brethren  :  ^  mercy  and  truth  be  with  j^j^"^" 
thee. 

21  And  I  tai  answered  tlie  king,  and 
said.  As  the   Lord  livelh,   and  as  my  , 
lord  the   ki  g  liveth,  surely  '  in  what  i^^  ,7, 
place  my  loid  the  king  shall  be,  whether  Proverbs 
in  death  or  life,  even  there  also  will  thy  H'^^'^"'*

22  And  David  said  to  Ittai,  Go,  and 
pass  over.  And  Ittai  the  Gittite  passed 
over,  and  a  1  his  men,  and  all  the  little 
ones  that  ivere  with  him. 

23  And  ail  the  country  wept  with  a 
loud  voice,  and    all  tlie  people  passed 
over:  the  king  also  himself  passed  over 
the  brook  ^  Kidron,  and  all  the  people  tiJohn]

went  up,  g  until  all  the  people  had  done  Joshua 
passing  out  of  the  city.  2.3,6. 

25  And  the  king  said  unto  Zadok,  •'  ^  jgr.  '

CHAP    XVII. 

1   Ahithophel's  counsel  is  overthroivn  by 
Hus/iai.     15 Intehigeiice  sent  to  David. 
23  Ahithophel  han^^eih  himself. 
MOREOVKR,  Ahithophel  said  unto 
Absalom,  Let  me  now  choose  out  twelve 
thousand  men,  and  I  will  arise,  and  pur- 
sue after  David  "  this  nic^ht. 

2  And  I  will  c(nTje  upon  him  while  he 
is  •'  weary  and  iveak-handed,  and  will 
make  hin>  afraid ;  and  all  the  people 
that  are  with  him  shall  flee  ;  and  I  will 
smite  the  king-  only. 

3  And  1  will  brin?  back  all  the  people 
imto  thee  ;  the  man  whom  thou  seekest 
is  as  if  all  returned :  so  all  the  peo[)le 
shall  be  "^  in  peace. 

4  And  the  sa^inj^  'i  pleased  Absalom 
well,  and  all  tlie  elders  of  Israel. 

5  Then  said  Absalom,  Call  now  Hu- 
shii  the  Archite  also,  and  let  us  hear 
likewise  what  he  saith. 

6  And  when  Hnshai  was  come  to  Ab- 
salom, Absalom  spake  unto  him,  saying, 
Ahithophel  halh spoken  after  this  man- 
ner :  shall  we  do  after  his  saying  ?  if  not, 
speak  thou. 

7  And  Hushai  said  unto  Absalom, 
The  counsel  that  Ahithophel  hath  given 
is  «  not  good  '  at  this  time. 

8  For,  said  Hushai,  thou  knowest  thy 
father  and  his  men,  that  they  be  niig-h- 
ty  men,  and  they  f  be  chafed  in  their 
mind  ,  as  a  bear  robbed  of  her  whelps 
in  the  field:  and  thy  father  is  a  man 
of  war,  and  will  not  lodge  with  the 
people. 

9  Behold,  he  is  iiid  now  in  some  k 
pit,  or  in  some  other  place,  and  it  will 
come  to  pass,  wiien  some  f  of  them  be 
overthrown  at  the  tirit,  that  whosoever 
Ueareth  it  will  s;iy,  There  is  a  slaughter 
among  the  people  that  follow  Absalom. 

lU  And  he  also  that  is  f  valiant,  wiiose 
heirl  is  as  the  heart  of  a  lion,  shall  ut- 
terly i>  melt:  for  all  Israel  knowclU  • 


that  thy  ''ather  is  a  mighty  man,  and   ^^^^""^ 
they  which  be  with  him  are  valiant  men.     ^qjs

Israel  said.  The  counjiel  of  Husliai  the 
ArLhiie  is  belter  than  the  counsel  of

18  Nevertheless  a  lad  saw  them  and 
told  Absalom  :  but  they  went  both  of 
t'lem    away    quickly,    and    came    to    a 
man's  house  in  Eahurini,  which  had  f'' Exod.

a  covering  over  the  well's  mouth,  and 
spread  ground  corn  thereon ;  and  the

3. 39.  and  man,  SO  that  they  sent  this  word  unto  the 

king-,  Return  thou,  and  all  thy  servants. 

1.5  So  the  t  ins;- returned,  and  came  to 
Jordan.  And  Judah  came  to  p  Gilgal  to 
go  to  meet  tlie  king-,  to  conduct  the 
king-  over  Jordan. 

16  1)  And  1  Shimei,  the  son  of  Gera, 
a  Benjamite,  which  wo*  of  '  Bahorim, 
s  hasted,  and  came  down  with  the  men 
of  Judah,  to  meet  king  David. 

17  And  there  vcere  a  thousand  men  ot 
Eenj.imin  v\ith  him,  and  tZiba,  the  ser- 
vant of  the  house  of  Saul,  and  his  "fif- 
teen sons  and  his  twenty  servants  witl' 
hini,  and  they  went  over  Jordan  before 
the  king'. 

18  And  there  went  over  a  ferry-boat 
to  carry  over  the  king's  household,  and 
to  do  f  what  he  thought  good.  Ant: 
Shimei,  the  son  of  Gera,  fell  down  be- 
fore the  king,  as  he  was  come  over  Jor- 
dan, 

19  And  said  unto  the  king,  Lei  not 
my  lord  impute  iniquity  unto  me,  nei- 
llier  do  thou  remember  th.at  which  thy 
servant  did  x  perversely  the  day  tliat  my 
lord  the  king  went  out  of  Jerusalem, 
that  the  king  should  take  it  to  his  heart. 
I  20  For  thy  servant  doth  know  that  I 
have  sinned  ;  therefore,  behold,    1  am 

T  Isaiah    come  v  the  first  this  day  of  all  the  house 
r.  2.  and   of  Joseph,  to  go  down  to  meet  my  lord 

jlvlli.g.  I'le  king. 

Kosc-a  21  But  Abishai,  the  son  of  Zeruiah, 

z'ech        answered  and  said.  Shall  not  Shimei  be 

^  put  to  death  for  this,  because  he  cursed 

the  Lord's  anointed  ? 

22  And  David  said,  What  have  I  to 
2i.i7.and  do  with  you,  ye  sons  of  Zeruiah,  that 
22. 28.       y^.  should  thisday  be  f  adversaries  unt' 

me  r  Shall  there  any  man  be  put  to  death 
tills  day  in  Israel  ?  for  do  not  I  know  that 
I  am  this  day  king  over  Israel  ? 

23  Therefore  the  king  said  unto  Shi- 
« 1  Kings  mei.  Thou  shall  =  not  die :  and  the  kin.L, 
2.9,10.     sv.'are  imto  him. 

24  «[  And  Mephiboshelh,  the  son  ''of 
Saul,  came  down  to  meet  the  king, 
and  had  neither  <"  dressed  his  feet,  nor 
trimmed  his  beard,  nor  ^  washed  his 
clothes,  from  the  day  the  king  departed 
until  the  day  he  came  again  in  peace. 

25  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  was 
come  to  Jerusalem  to  meet  the  king, 
tliat  the  king  said  unto  him,  "".Vherefore 
v.cntest  not  thou  with  me,  Mephibo- 
slieth  ? 

26  And  he  answered.  My  lord,  O  king, 
my  servant  deceived  me :  for  thy  servant 
said,  I  will  saddle  me  an  ass,  tliat  1  may 
ride  thereon,  and  go  to  the  king ;  because 
thv  servant  is  lame. 

27  And  he  hath  '  slandered  thy  ser-

nttto  Abei    23  David's  great  officers: 

AND  there  happened  to  be  '  there 

a  man   of  b  Belial,    whose  name  vjm 

Sheba,  the  son  of  Bichri,  a  Benjamite  ; 

and  he  blew  <:  a  trumpet,  and  said,  We 

have  d  no  part  in  David,  neitiier  have 

we   inheritance   in   the   son  of  Jesse ; 

every  man  to  his  tents,  O  Israel. 

2  So  every  man  of  Israel  went  up 
from  after  David,  and  followed  Slieba, 
the  son  of  Bichri :  but  the  men  «of  Judah 
clave  unto  their  kinj,  from  Jordan  even 
to  Jerusalem. 

3  If  And  David  came  to  his  house  at 
Jerusalem  ;  and  the  king-  took  the  f  ten 
women  his  concubines,  whom  he  had 
left  to  keep  the  house,  and  put  them  in 
g  ward,  and  fed  them,  but  '>  went  not  in 
unto  them :  so  they  were  shut  up  unto 
the  day  of  their  death,  living-  in  widow- 
hood, 

4  ^  Then  said  the  king-  to  ■  Amasa, 
Assemble  me  the  men  of  Judah  within 
three  days,  and  be  thou  here  present. 

5  So  Amasa  went  to  assemble  the  men 
of  Judah;  but  he  tarried  lons^cr  than 
the  set  time  which  he  had  appointed  him. 

6  And  David  said  to  k  Abishai,  Now 
shall  Sheba,  the  son  of  Bichri,  do  us 
more  harm  than  did  Absalom :  take 
thou  thy  1  lord's  servants,  and  pursue 
rfter  him,  lest  he  get  him  fenced  cities, 
and  escape  us. 

7  And  there  went  out  after  him  Joab's 
men,  and  the  '"  Chefethites,  and  the 
Peletliites,  and  all  tlie  mig-hty  men  :  and 
tiiey  went  out  of  Jerusaleni  to  pursue 
after  Sheba,  the  son  of  Bichri. 

8  When  they  vere  at  the  great  stone 
"which  is  in  Gibeon,  Amasa  went  before 
them :  and  Joab's  garment  that  he  had 
put  on  was  girded  unto  him,  and  upon 
it  a  girdle  -oj/f/t  a  sword  fastened  upon 
his  loins  in  the  sheath  thereof;  and  as  he 
went  forth  it  fell  out. 

9  And  Joab  said  to  Amasa,  f  ylrt  thou 
in  health,  o  my  brother  ?  And  Joab  took 
Amasa  by  tlie  beard  with  the  right  hand 
to  Pfciss  hJm. 


10  But  Amasa  took  no  heed  to  the 
sword  that  "uas  in  J-ab's  hand:  so  he 
smote  him  therewith  in  the  fif  h  i  rib, 
and  shed  out  his  bowels  to  the  ground, 
and  struck  him  not  again,  aud  he  died, 
S.»  Jo:ib  and  Abisliai  his  brother  pursued 
afier  Sheba,  the  son  of  Bich:  i. 

11  And  one  of  Joab's  men  stood  by 
him,  and  said,  '  He  that  favoureth  Joab, 
and  he  that  is  for  David,  iet  kimgo  after 
Joab. 

12  And  Amasa  wallowed  in  blood  in 
the  midst  of  the  high\\ay  :  ai'id  when 
the  man  saw  that  all  t  .e  people  stood 
>till  he  removed  Amasa  out  of  the  high- 
way into  the  field,  and  cast  a  cloth  upon 
him,  when  he  saw  that  every  one  that 
came  by  liim  stood  still, 

13  When  he  was  removed  out  of  the 
highway  all  the  pe.jple  went  on  after 
Ji.a!),  to  pursue  af'.er  Sheba,  the  sou  of 
Bichri. 

14  Ti  And  he  went  through  aH  the 
tribes  of  Israel  unto  Abel,  and  to  ^  Beth- 
maachah,  and  ill  the  <■  Berites :  and  they 
were  gathered  together,  and  v.-eiit  also 
after  him. 

15  And  they  came  and  besieged  him 
in  Abel  of  Belh-maachah,  and  they  f 
ca^t  up  a  bank  against  the  city,  and  it 
stood  in  the  trench  :  and  all  the  people 
that  were  with  Joab  battered  the  wall  to 
tlirow  it  down. 

16  *[\  Tlien  cried  «a  wise  woman  out 
of  the  city.  Hear,  hear;  sav,  I  pray  you, 
unto  Joab,  Come  near  hither,  that  I  may 
speak  with  thee. 

\7  And,  when  he  was  come  near  unto 
her,  the  woman  said,  Art  thou  Joab  ? 
And  he  answered,  I  am  he.  Then  she 
said  unto  him,  Hear  the  words  of  thine 
handmaid.   And  he  answered,  I  do  hear. 

18  Then  she  spake,  saying.  They  were 
wont  to  speak  in  old  tinie,  saying.  They 
shall  surely  x  ask  counsel  at  Abel :  and 
so  they  ended  the  matter. 

19  I  am  one  f  of  them  that  are  peace- 
able a)id  faithful  in  Israel :  thou  seekest 
to  destroy  a  city  and  a  mother  in  Lsrael ; 
why  wilt  thou  swallow  up  the  inherit- 
ance  of  the  Lord  .' 

20  And  Joab  answered  and  said.  Far 
be  it,  far  be  it  uom  me,  that  I  should 
sw  allow  up  or  destroy. 

21  The  matter  is  not  so  :  but  a  man 
y  of  mount  Ephraim,  Sheba,  the  son  of 
Bichri,  by  name,  hath  lifted  up  his  hand 
against  the  king,  even  against  David; 
deliver  him  onl_\,  and  I  will  depart  from 
the  city.  And  the  woman  »aid  unto 
Joab,  Behold,  ^  his  head  shall  be  thrown 
to  thee  over  the  wall. 

22  Then  the  woman  went  unto  all  the 
people  »  in  her  wisdom  :  and  they  cut 
off  the  head  of  Sheba,  the  son  of  Bichri, 
and  cast  it  out  to  Joab  :  and  he  blew  a 
irumpet,  and  they  f  retired  from  the 
city,  every  man  to  his  tent.  And  Joab 
returned  to  Jerusalem  unto  tiie  king.

David's  Psalm  of  thanksgiving. 

AND  David  spake  unto  the  Lord 
the  words  of  th-s  •  song,  in  the  day  that 
'^  Uie  Lord  had  dehvered  him  out  of  tlie 
hand  of  all  his  enemies,  and  out  of  the 
hand  of «  Saul : 

2  And  he  said.  The  Lord  /*  my 
rock,  and  my  fortress,  anJ  my  "^  deh- 
verer  ; 

3  The  God  of  my  rock:  in  him  will 
I  «  trust ;  he  is  my  ''  shield,  and  the  horn 
of  my  salvation,  my  high  t:iwer,  and  my 
refiij^^e,  my  g  saviour ;  thou  savest  me 
from  violence. 

4  I  will  Gallon  the  Lord.wAo  is  wor- 
thy to  be  praised  :  so  shall  1  be  saved 
from  mine  enemies. 

5  When  the  ''  waves  of  death  com- 
passed me,  the  floods  of  ungodly  men 
made  me  afraid ; 

6  The  '  sorrows  of  hell  compassed 
me  about  ;  the  •'  snares  of  death  pre- 
vented me. 

7  In  my  distress  '  I  called  upon  the 
Lord,  and  cried  to  my  God,  and  he  did 
hear  my  voice  out  of  his  temple,  and  my 
cry  ">  did  enter  mto  his  cars. 

8  Then  the  "  earth  shook  and  trem- 
bled ;  the  °  foundations  of  heaven  mov- 
ed aui'l  shook,  because  he  w  as  wroth. 

9  There  went  up  a  smoke  out  of  his 
nostrils,  and  p  tire  out  of  his  mouth  de- 
voured :  coals  were  kindled  by  it. 

10  He  4  bowed  the  heavens  also  and 
came  down  ;  and  '  darkness  %Kas  under 
his  feet. 

1 1  And  he  rode  upon  '  a  cherub,  and 
didHy  ;  and  he  was  seen  upon  the  wings 
of  the  wind. 

12  A.id  he  made  darkness  pavilions' 
round  about  him,  dark  waters,  andXhlck 
clouds  of  tiie  skies. 

13  Through  the  brightness  before  him 
were  "  coals  of  rire  kindled. 

14  The  Lord  thundered  from  hea- 
ven, and  the  most  High  "  uttered  his 
voice. 

15  And  he  sent  out  arrows,  and  scat- 
tered  them  ;  lightning,  and  discomfited 
them. 

16  And  the  channels  of  the  sea  ap- 
peai-ed,  the  foundations  of  tlie  world 
were  discovered,  at  the  y  rebuking  of  tiie 
Lord,  at  the  blast  of  the  breath  of  his 
f  nobtrils. 

17  He  sent  from  ^  above,  he  took  me  ; 
he  drew  me  out  of  many  ^  waters. 

16  He  delivered  me  from. my  strong 
enem),  and  from  them  timt  hated  me  : 
tor  they  were  too  strong  fur  me. 

19  They  prevented  me  in  the  day  of 
my  calamity  :  but  the  Lord  was  m} 
Slav. 

:^0  He  brought  me  forth  also  into  a 
large  place  ;  he  delivered  me,  because  ^ 
he  delighted  in  me. 

i31  The  Lord  rewarded  me  "=  accord- 


ing to  my  righteousness  ;  according  to   Before 
the  cleanness  of  my  hands  hath  he  re-  *"™8^^ 
compensed  me.  K,y-\r\J 

22  For  I  have  ^  kept  the  ways  of  the  d  Psalm 
Lord,  and  have  not  wickedly  departed  g'^j^^' 
from  my  God.  ' 

23  For  'all  his  judgments  ii'ere  before  f  Psalm 
me  ;  and  as  for  his  statutes,  I  did  not  "nke^"' 
depart  from  them.  i.  e. 

24  I  was  also  'upright  before  him, /2  Kings 
and  have  kept  myself  «  from  mine  ini-  p°' j'j  g 
quity.  jfMat. 

25  Therefore  the  Lord  hath  recom-  is-I^- 
pensed  me  according  to  my  righteous- 
ness ;  according  to  my  cleanness  in  his 
eye-sight. 

26  With  the   h  merciful   thou  viU  h  mp

29  For  thou  art  my  lamp,  O  Lord  ;

Lord  wrought  a  great  victory  ti>at  day ; 
and  the  people  returned  after  him  only

that  one  would  give  me  drink  of  the 
water  of  liic  well  of  Beth-leliem,  which 
is  by  the  gate  !

drew  water  out  of  the  well  of  Beth-le-

AND  »  again  the  anger  of  the  Lord 
was  kindled  against  Israel,  and  ||  he 
moved  David  against  them  to  say.  Go, 
number  Israel  and  Judah.

b  Go  now  tln-ough  all  the  tribes  of  Israel,

•  3  And  Joab  said  unto  tlie  king.  Now

9  And  Joab  ga-.  e  up  the  sum  of  the 
number  of  the  people  unto  the  king  : 
and  there  were  in  Israel  eight  hundred 
thousand  valiant  men  that  drew  the

11  For,  when  David  was  up  in  the  ijohn

5  Moreover,  thou  knowest  also  what 
Joab,  the  son  of  Zeruiali,  ^  did  to  me,

15  And  he  said.  Thou  knowest  that 

the  kingdom  ^  was  mine,  and  that  all  x  chaff. 
Israel  set  their    faces  on  me,   that    I  pVoVerbs'

Adonijah.      And   the  king  rose  up  to 

meet  her,  and  '  bowed  himself  unto  her,  ^^f^- 
and  sat  down  on  his  throne,  and  caused 
a  seat  to  be  set  for  the  king's  motlier  ; 
and  she  sat  ^  on  his  right  hand.  *  Psalm

22  And  king  Solomon  answered  and

thou   ask  Abishag   the  Shunamite  for

t  .ou  sbalt  surely  die  :  *  thy  blood  sliall

3y  And  SIdmei  said  unto  the  king. 
The  saying  ?  is  g 'Oil :  as  my  lord  tht 
king  hath  said,  so  will  thy  servant  do. 
And  Shimei  dwelt  in  Jerusalem  m;.n\ 
days. 

39  And  it  came  to  pass,  at  the  end  of 
three  years,  that  two  of  the  servants  of 
Shimei  I'an  a.\ay  unto  ti  Achish,  .son  of 
'  Muachah,  kingof  Gath  :  and  they  told 
Shimei,  saying,  Behold,  thy  servants  be

40  And  Shimei  arose,  and  saddled  his 
ass,  and  ><■  went  to  Gath,  to  Achisii,  tt, 
seek  his  servants;  and  Shimei  went  ai  d 
brouglit  his  servants  ll-om  Gath. 

41  And  it  was  told  Solomon  that  Sni- 
mei  had  gone  from  Jerusalem  to  Gath, 
and  was  come  again. 

42  And  the  ki.g  sent  and  called  for 
Shimei.  .n'i  said  unto  him,  Did  I  not 
make  thee  to  i  swear  by  the  Lord,  and

is  good. 

43  Why  then  hast  thou  not  kept  tlie 
■^  oath  of  the  Lord,  and  the  command- 
ment that  I  have  charged  thee  with  ? 

44  Tlie  king  said,  moreover,  to  Shi- 
mei, nThou  knowest  all  the  wickedness 
which  thine  heart  is  privy  to,  that  o  thou

46  So  the  king  commanded  Benaiah,

51  So  was  ended  all  the  work  that 
king  Solomon  made  for  the  house  of  the 
Loud.  And  Solomon  brought  in  the 
things  which  David  his  father  had  f  de- 
dicated ;  even  the  silver,  and  the  gold, 
and  the  vessels,  did  he  put  among  the 
treasures  of  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

CHAP,  VIIL 

1  The  dedication  of  the  temple.     12,  55, 
Solomon's  blessing  :  22  his  prayer :  62 
his  sacrifce  aj  peace-offerings. 
THEN  Solomon  ^  assembled  the  el- 
ders of  Israel,  and  all  the  heads  of  the 
tribes,  the  chief  of  the  fathers  of  the 
children  of  Israel,  unto  king  Solomon 
in  Jerusalem,  that  they  might  bring  up 
the  ^  ark  of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord 
out  (if  the  ^  city  of  David,  which  is  Zion. 

2  And  all  the  men  of  Israel  assembled 
themselves  unto  king  Solomon  at  the 
d  feast,  in  the  month  Ethanim,  which  is 
the  seventh  month. 

3  And  all  the  elders  of  Israel  came, 
and  the  «  priests  look  up  ttte  ark. 

4  And  they  brought  up  the  a^kof  the 
Lord,  and  the  '  tabernacle  of  the  con- 
gregation, and  all  the  holy  vessels  that 
■were  in  '.he  tabernacle,  even  those  did 
g  the  priests  and  the  Levites  bring  up. 

5  A'.id  kin-  Solomon,  and  :i!llhe  con- 
gregation of  Israel,  tliat  were  assem- 
bled unto  h\m,'were  with  him  before  tiie 
ark  sacrificing  sheep  and  oxen,  ''  that 
could  not  be  told  nor  numbered  for  mul- 
titude 

6  And  the  '  priegt^  bf  ought  in  the  wk 


of  the  covenant  of  the  Lord  unto  ^his 
place,  into  the  oracle  of  the  house,  to 
the  most  holy  place,  even  under  the 
wings  of  the  cherubims. 

7  For  the  cherubims  spread  forth 
th.ir  two  wings  over  the  place  of  the 
ark,  and  the  cherubims  covered  the  ark, 
and  the  '  staves  thereof,  above. 

8  And  they  ™  drew  out  tlie  staves, 
that  the  ends  of  the  staves  were  seen 
out  in  the  "  holy  place  before  the  orach  , 
and  they  were  not  seen  without :  and 
there  they  are  unto  this  day. 

9  There  was  >j  noliiing  in  the  ark  save 
the  two  tables  of  stone,  wliich  Moses 
put  there  at  Horeb,  when  the  Lord 
made  «  covenant  with  the  children  of 
Israel,  when  they  came  out  of  the  land 
ot  Egypt. 

10  "li  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the 
;.riests  were  come  out  of  the  holy  place, 
ijiat  the  p  cloud  4  tilled  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

11  So  that  the  priests  could  '  not 
stand  to  minister  because  of  the  cloud  : 
tor  the  s  glory  of  the  Lord  had  filled 
the  house  ofthe  Lord. 

12  ^  Then  spake  Solomon,  The  Lord 
said  t  that  he  would  dwell  in  the  thick 
darkness. 

13  I  have  surely  built  "  thee  an  house 
to  dwell  in,  a  settled  place  for  thee  to 
abide  in  for  ever. 

14  And  the  king  turned  his  face  about, 
and  !'  blessed  all  the  congregation  of  Is- 
r.iel :  (and  all  the  congregation  of  Israel 
stood :) 

15  Andhesaid,y  Blessed  ie the  Lord 
God  of  Israel,  which  ^  spake  with  his 
m  uth  unto  David  my  father,  and  hatli 
with  his  hand  fulfilled  ;>,  saying, 

16  Since  the  day  that  1  brought  forth 
my  people  Israel  out  of  Egypt,  I  chose 
no  city  out  of  all  the  tribes  of  Israel  to 
build  an  house,  that  *  m\  name  might 
be  therein  :  but  I  chose  David  to  be  over 
my  people  Israel, 

17  And  it  was  i>  in  the  heart  of  David 
my  father  to  build  an  house  for  the  name 
of  ihe  Lord  God  of  Israel. 

18  And  the  Lord  said  unto  David  my 
father,  Whereas  it  was  hi  thine  heart 
to  build  an  iiouse  unto  my  name,  thou  <^ 
didst  well  tliat  it  was  in  thine  heart . 

19  Nevertheless  ^thou  shall  not  build 
the  house  ;  but  thy  son,  that  shall  conie 
forth  out  of  thy  loins,  he  shall  build  the 
house  unto  my  name. 

20  And  the  Lord  h.alh  performed  his 
word  that  he  spake  ;  and  I  am  risen  up 
in  the  room  of  David  my  father,  and  sit 
on  the  throne  of  Israel,  as  the  Lord  « 
promised,  and  have  bui't  an  house  for 
the  name  ofthe  Lord  God  of  Israel. 

21  And  1  have  set  there  a  place  for 
the  ark,  w  herein  ii  the  ^  covenant  of  the 
Lord,  which  he  inade  with  our  fathers, 
when  he  brought  them  out  of  the  land 
of  Egypt.

of  twenty  years  when  Solomon  had  built

to  all  his  desire,)  that  then  king  S"lo-

to  see  tl)e  cities  which  Solomon  had

Cabul  unt  1  this  day. 

14  And  Hiram  sent  to  the  =«  king  six

15  If  And  this  is  the  reason  of  the  y 
levy  which  king  Solomon  raised,  for  to

AND  Rehoboam  went  to  » Shechem : 
for  all  Israel  were  come  to  Shechem  to

3  Tiiat  they  sent  and  called  him :  and 
Jeroboam  and  all  the  congregation  of 
Israel  came,  and  spake  unto  Rehoboam, 
saying,

5  And  he  said  unto  them,  Depai'i 
yet  yor  three  da)s,  then  come  again  to 
me.     And  the  people  departed. 

6  ^  And  kmg  Rehoboam  ^  consulted 
with  the  *'old  men  that  stood  before  So- 
lomon liis  father,  while  he  yet  lived,  and 
said.  How  do  ye  advise,  that  I  may  an- 
swer this  people  ? 

7  And  they  spake  unto  him,  saying, 
If  thou  wilt  be  g  a  servant  unto  "  this

say  unto  them,  '  My  Wliic  fmger  shall  be

11  And  now,  whereas  my  father  did 
lade  you  with  a  heavj'  jok-,  I  will  add 
10  your  yoke  :  my  father  halh  c'lastised 
vdu  with  \vhi[is,  but  I  will  chastise  you 
Willi  scorpions. 

12  ^1  So  Jeroboam  and  all  the  people 
came  to  Rehoboam  the  third  da) ,  as  the 
king  had  appointed,  saying.  Come  to 
me  agam  the  third  day. 

13  And  the  king  answered  the  people 
f  roughly,  and  forsook  the  old  men's 
counsel  that  they  gave  him  ; 

14  And  spake  to  them  after  the  coun- 
sel of  the  young  men,  saying,  My  father 
made  jour  yoke  heavy,  and  ">  I  will  add 
to  your  yoke  :  my  father  also  ci;astisf  ti 
you  with  whips,  but  1  will  chastise  you 
with  scorpions. 

15  Wherefore  the  king  hearkened  not 
unto  the  peojjle ;  for  the  f  cause  was 
from  the  Lord,  that  he  migiit  perform 
his  sajing,  which  the  Lord  spake  b) 
t  Ahijah  the  Sinlonite  unto  Jeroboam, 
the  son  of  Nt- bat. 

16  li  So  when  all  Israel  saw  that  the 
king  Heartened  not  unto  them,  the  peo- 
ple answered  the  king,  sa;  ing,  Wiiai 
portion  have  we  in  Das  id  J  neither  have 
ive  inheritance  in  ttie  "  son  of  Jesse  :  to 
your  o  tents,  O  Israel.  Now  see  to  thine 
own  house,  David.  So  Israel  departed 
unto  their  tents. 

17  But  as  for  the  children  of  Israel 
which  dwelt  in  the  r  cities  of  Judah,  Re- 
hobvjain  reigned  over  them. 

18  Tiicn  king  Rehoboam  sent  q  Ado- 
ram,  who  ii3as  over  tiie  tribute  ;  and  u;i 
Israel  stoned  him  with  stones  that  ht 
died :  therefore  king-  Rehoboam  f  made 
speed  to  get  him  up  to  his  chariot,  to 
flee  to  Jerusalem. 

19  So  Israel  ^  rebelled  against  the 
house  of  David  unto  this  day. 

20  ^(  And  it  came  t"  pass,  when  ah 
Israel  hL;u'(i  thai  Jeroboam  uas  come 
again,  that  the)  «  sent  and  called  hlui 
unto  the  congregation,  and  made  hiin 
king  over  all  Israel:  tiiere  vsas  none 
ttiat  followed  the  house  of  David  but  the 
tribe  ot  Judah  ^ only. 

21  ^1  Ar.d  when  Rehoboam  was  come 
to  Jerusalem  he  assembleil  all  tlie  house 
of  Judah,  with  the  tribe  of  Benjumin,  an 
hundred  ana  foui*score  thousand  chosen 
men,  winch  were  "  warriors,  to  hgiil 
against  the  house  of  Israel,  to  bring  the 
kingdom  again  to  Rehoboam,  ti;e  son  of 
Solomon. 

22  But  the  word  of  God  came  unto

'}J°^        rael  made  'Omri,  the  captain  of  tlie  host, 
X  Mi'cah   king  over  Israel  that  day  in  tlic  camp. 
6. 16.  17  And  Omri  went  uj^  from  Gibbc- 

Si!*!"^  thon,  and  .ill  Israel  with  him,  and  they 
besieged  Tirzah. 

18  Ar.d  it  came  to  pass,  when  Zimri 
gaw  llial  the  city  was  taken,  tiiat  he  went 
into  tti<?  falaoe  oi'ths  kini>'.s  hou-je,  and 


a  bm-nt  tlie  king's  house  over  him  with  Before 
fire,  and  died,  "^^^f^ 

19  For  his  sins  which  he  sinned  in  do-  ^.^vO 
ing  evil  in  the  >>  sight  of  the  Lord,  in  b  chap, 
walking  in  the  "  way  of  Jeroboam,  and  ^'- «• 

in  his  sin  which  he  did  to  make  Israel  i2.28?aiid 
to  sin,  wiie'.and 

20  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Zimri,  ^*-  26. 
and  his  treason  that  he  wrought,  are  they 

not  written  in  the  book  of  the  Chroni- 
cles of  the  kings  of  Israel  ? 

21  ^  Then  were  the  peoj^ie  nf  Israel 
divided  f  into  two  parts  :   half  of  tlie  t  Heb. 
people  followed  Tibni,  the  son  of   Gi-  '"tohalf^ 
nath,  to  make  him  king;  and  half  fol-  j^gf^ 
lowed  Omri.  2Chro;».\ 

22  But  the  people  that  followed  Omri  ^-  ^• 
prevailed  against  the  people  that  follow- 
ed Tibni,  the  son  of  Ginath  :  so  Tibni 
died,  and  Omri  reigned. 

2.3  tf  In  the  tliirty  and  first  year  of     ^2^- 
Asa  king  of  Judah  began  Omri  to  reign 
over  Israel   twelve    years :    six  years 
reigned  he  in  Tirzah. 

24  And  he  bought  the  hill  S.imaria 
of  Shemer  for  two  talents  of  silver,  and 
built  on  the  hill,  and  called  the  name  of 
the  city  which  he  built  after  the  name 

(.f  Shemer,  owner  of  the  hill  <i  Samaria  ^^  ^;"83 

25  11  But  Omri  wrought  evil  in  the  Joiin4.4. 
eyes  of  tiie  Lord,  and  <;  did  worse  than  «  verse  3. 
all  that  lucre  before  him.  e.'ie. 

26  For  he  walked  in  all  the  way  of 
Jeroboam,  the  son  of  Nebat,  and  ^  in  ^f^F' 
Ills  sin  wherewith  he  made  Israel  to  sin, 

to  provoke  tlie  Lord  God  of  Israel  to 
.anger  with  their  vanities. 

27  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Omri, 
which  he  did,  and  g  his  might  that  he  S 'versus 
shewed,  are  they  not  written  in  the  book  21^  22! 
of  the  Chronicles  of  the  kings  of  Israel ! 

28  So  Onu'i  h  slept  with  his  fathers,  ''  chap, 
and  was  buried  in  '  Samaria  :  and  Ahab  f^}°^  j^ 
his  son  reigned  in  his  stead.  ch.20. 2! 

2y  ^  And  in  the  thirty  and  eightli  a"d22.io. 
year  of  Asa  king  of  Judah  began  Aiiab  10.3T.and 
the  son  of  Omri,  to  reign  over  Israel :  i3. 9, 13. 
and  Ahab,   the  son  of  Omri,  reigned      ^^'• 
over  Israel  in  Samaria  twenty  and  two 
years. 

30  And  Ahab,  the  son  of  Omri,  did  " 

evil  in  lite  sight  of  the  Lord  '^  above  all  *  verses

31  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  if  it  had

7  And  it  came  to  pass,  after  a  while, 
that  the  brook  dried  up,  because  there 
had  been  no  rain  in  the  land. 

8  11  And  '■  the  word  of  the  Lord

10  So  he  arose,  and  went  to  Zareph-

the  city,  behold,  the  widow  woman  i^sas 
there  gathering  of  sticks  ;  and  he  called 
to  her,  and  said  i  Fetch  me,  I  pray 
thee,  a  little  water  iu  a  vessel,  that  I 
may  drink. 

11  And  as  slie  was  going  to  fetch  it 
he  called  to  her,  and  said.  Bring  me, 
1  pray  thee,  a  morsel  of  bread,  in  thine

12  And  she  said.  As  the  Lorp  thy 
God  liveth,  I  have  not  "  a  cake,  but  an 
handful  of  meal  in  a  barrel,  and  a  little

thering two  sticks,  that  I  may  go  in, 
and  dress  it  for  me  and  my  son  that  we

make  me  thereof  a  little  cake  first,  and 
bring  it  unto  me,  and  after  make  for

23  And  the  servants  of  the  king  of 
Syria  said  unto  him,  Their  gods  are 
gods  of  tlie  '  hills,  therefore  they  were 
sirongtr  than  we :  but  let  us  fight  against 
them  in  the  plain,  and  surely  we  shall 
be  stronger  tlian  they. 

24  And  do  this  thing ;  ^  Take  the 
kings  away,  every  man  out  of  his  place, 
and  put  captains  in  their  rooms  : 

25  And  number  thee  an  arm_\  like  the 
army  that  thou  h.ast  lost,  horse  for  norse, 
and  chariot  for  cliariot :  and  we  will  figitt 
against  them  in  the  plain,  and  surelv  we 
shall  be  stronger  than  they.  And  he 
hearkened  unto  their  voice,  and  did  so. 

26  And  It  came  to  pass,  at  the  return 
of  the  year,  that  Ben-hadad  numbered 
tlie  S\rians,  and  went  up  « to  Aphek,  to 
hght  against  Israel. 

27  And  the  children  of  I.rael  were 
numbered,  and  were  all  present,  and 
went  against  them  ;  and  the  children  of 
Israel  pitched  before  them  like  two  little 
ilccks  of  kids  ;  but  the  Syrians  '  filled 
the  louiitry. 

28  \\  And  there  came  g  a  man  of  God, 
and  spake  unto  the  king  of  Israel,  and 
said,  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  ^  Because 
the  Syrians  have  said,  The  Lord  is 
God  of  the  hills,  but  he  is  not  Gcd  of  the 
valleys ;  therefore  will  I  deliver  all  this 
great  multitude  into  thine  hand,  and  ye 
shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord. 

29  And  they  pitched  one  over  against 
the  other  ■  seven  days ;  and  so  it  was, 
that  in  the  seventh  day  the  battle  was 
joined  :  and  the  children  of  Israel  slew 
oi  the  Syrians  ^  an  hundred  thousand 
footmen  in  one  day. 

30  But  the  rest  fled  to  Aphekf  into 
the  city;  and  there  a  wall  fell  upon 
twenty  and  seven  thousand  of  the  mei\ 
that  Hiiere  left.  And  Ben-hadad  tied, 
and  came  into  the  city,  |  into  an  inner 
chamber. 

31  ^  And  his  servants  said  unto  him. 
Behold  now,  we  have  heard  that  the 
kings  of  the  house  of  Israel  are  merciful 
kings  :  let  us,  I  pray  thee,  '  put  sack- 
cloth on  our  loins,  and  ropes  upon  our 
heads,  and  go  out  to  the  king  of  Israel  ; 
peradventure  he  will  save  thy  lile. 

32  So  they  girded  sackcloth  on  their 
loins,  and  put  ropes  on  their  lieads,  and 
came  to  the  king  of  Israel,  and  said, 
'1  Thy  servant  Ben-hadad  saith,  I  prav 
thee,  kt  me  live.  Aixl  lie  said,  h  he  j x't 
alive  ?  he  is  my  brother. 

33  Now  the  men  did  diligently  ob- 
serve whether  any  thing  'mould  come  from 
him,  and  did  hastily  catch  it :  and  they 
said,  Tliy  brother  Ben-hadad.  Then  he 
said,  Go  je,  bring-  him.  Then  Ben-ha- 
dad came  forth  to  iiim  ;  and  he  caused 
him  to  come  up  into  the  cliariot. 

34  And  Ben-hadad  said  unto  him.  The 
cities  which  my  fattier  took  from  n  thy 
fiither  I  will  restore ;  and  thou  shaft 
make  streets  fir  thee  in  Damascus,  as 
my  father  made  in  Samaria.    Then,  -iciid

would  eat  no  bread.  , 

5  li  But  Jezebel  f  his  wife  came  to

6  And  he  said  uiUo  her,  Because  1

12  And  all  the  prophets  prophesied 
so,  saying.  Go  up  to  Ramoth-jilead,  and 
t  prosper  :  for  the  Lord  shall  deliver  it 
into  the  king's  hand. 

13  And  the  messenger  that  was  gone 
to  call  Micaiah  spake  unto  him,  saying. 
Behold  now,  the  words  of  the  prophets 
declare  good  unto  the  king  with  "  one 
mouth :  let  thy  word,  I  pray  thee,  be 
hke  the  word  of  one  of  them,  and  speak 
that  luhich  is  good. 

14  And  Micaiah  said.  As  the  Lord 
liveth,  what  the  Lord  saith  unto  me, 
"  that  will  1  speak. 

15  fl  So  he  came  to  the  king.  And 
the  king  said  unto  him,  Micaiah,  shall 
we  go  against  Ramoth-gilead  to  battle, 
or  shall  we  forbear  ]  And  he  answered 
him,  y  Go,  and  prosper:  for  the  Lord 
shall  deliver  if  into  the  hand  of  the  king. 

16  And  the  king  said  unto  him.  How 
many  times  shall  I  adjure  thee,  that  thou 
tell  me  nothing  but  that  which  is  true  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord  ? 

17  And  he  said,  ^  I  .u,,/  all  Israel 
scattered  upon  the  hills,  »  as  sheep  that 
have  not  a  shepherd:  and  the  Lord 
said.  These  have  no  master;  let  them 
return  every  man  to  his  house  in  peace. 

18  And  the  king  of  Israel  said  unto 
Jehoshaphat,  Did  I  not  tell  thee  that  he 
would  prophesy  no  good  concerning  me, 
but  evil? 

19  And  he  said,  Hear  thou,  therefore ,

himself  seven  times  in  Jordan,  accord-

23  And  Naaman  said,  Be  content,

fell  it  ?  And  lie  shewed  him  the  place. 
And  he  cat  down  '"  a  stick,  and  cast  it 
in  thither,  and  the  iron  did  swim. 

r  Therefore,  said  he.  Take  it  up  to 
thee.  And  he  put  out  his  hand  and 
took  it. 

8  li  Then  the  king  of  Syria  warred 
atjfainst  Israel,  and  g  took  cuunsel  with 
his  servants,  saymg,  f  In  such  and  such 
a  place  shall  be  my  camp. 

9  And  tl^.e  man  of  God  sent  unto  the 
kinar  of  Israel,  siiying-.  Beware  that  thou 
pass  not  such  a  place  ;  for  thither  the 
Syrians  aie  come  down. 

10  And  the  king  of  Israel  '^  sent  to 
the  place  which  the  man  of  God  told 
him,  and  warned  him  t)f,  and  saved 
himself  there,  not  once,  nor  twice. 

11  ^  Therefore  the  heart  of  the  king 
of  Syria  was  ||  sore  troubled  tor  this 
thing ;  and  he  called  his  servants,  and 
said  unto  them.  Will  ye  not  shew  me 
which  of  us  is  for  the  king  of  Israel .' 

12  And  one  of  his  servants  said.  None, 
my  lord,  O  king ;  but  Elisha  the  pro- 
phet, that  is  in  Israel,  telleth  the  kmg 
of  Israel  the  words  that  thou  speakest 
in  thy  '  bed-chamber. 

13  And  he  said.  Go  and  ^  spy  where 
he  is,  that  I  may  send  and  fetch  him. 
And  it  was  told  him,  saying.  Behold,  he 
is  '  in  Dothan. 

14  Therefore  sent  he  thither  horses, 
ia  Isaiah  and  chariots,  and  "^  a  great  host :   and 

they  came  by  night,  and  "  compassed 
the  city  about. 

15  ^  And  when  the  servant  of  the 
man  of  God  was  risen  early,  and  gone 
forth,  behold,  an  host  compassed  the 
city,  both  \  ith  horses  and  chariots : 
and  his  servant  said  unto  him,  Alas,  my 
master !  how  shall  we  do  ? 

16  And  re  answered,  °  Fear  not;  for 
they  that  be  p  with  us  are  more  than 
they  that  be  with  them. 

17  A  id  Elisha  1  prayed,  and  said. 
Lord,  I  pray  thee,  open  his  e}'e»,  tiiat

I  How  me,  and  1  will  bring  you  to  the  siTie

1  Elisha  prophesieth  incredible  plenty  in 

Samariii.     17    The    unbelieving   lord, 

having  the  charge  of  the  gate,  is  trod- 

dtn  to  death  by  the  people. 

THEN  Elisha  ^  said,  Hear  ye  the 

word   of  the    Loud  ;    Thus  saitli  the 

Lord,  ^  To-mirrow,  about  this  time, 

shull  a  measu  e  nf  fine  flour  be  sold  for 

a  <:  shekel,  and  two  measures  of  barley 

for  a  siiekel,  in  the  gate  of  Samaria. 

2  Then  a  lord,  on  wh'ise  iiaid  the 
king  '•leaned,  answered  the  man  of  GotI, 
and  saiil.  Behold,  j/"  the  Loau  would 
make  >=  windows  in  heaven  might  ''his 
thing  be?  And  he  said,  Behi.ld,  thou 
shalt  ssee  it  with  thine  eyes,  but  shalt 
not  eat  thereof. 

3  ^  And  there  were  four  leprous  men 
'i  at  the  entering  in  of  the  gate  ;  and 
they  ■  said  one  to  anotlier.  Why  sit  we 
here  until  we  die  ? 

4  If  we  say.  We  will  enter  into  the 
city,  then  the  famine  is  in  the  city,  and 

k  Ksther  we  shall  die  there  :  and  ^  if  we  sit  still 

4.16.        Iiere,    we   die    also.      Now,   therefore, 

come,  and  let  us  fall  u  ito  the  host  of  ilie 

Syrians  :  if  they  save  us  alive,  we  shall 

live  ;  and  if  they  kill  us,  we  shall  but  die. 

5  And  they  rose  up  in  the  '  twilight, 
to  go  unto  the  camp  of  the  Syrians:  and 
when  they  were  come  to  the  uttermost 
part  of  the  camp  of  Syria,  behold,  there 
was  no  man  there. 

6  For  the  Lord  had  made  tlie  host 
of  the  Svrians  '"  to  hear  a  noise  of  cha- 
riot*, and  a  noise  of  horses,  even  the 
noise  of  a  great  host;  r.nd  they  said  one 
to  another,  Lo,  the  king  of  Israel  hath 
hired  against  us  the  kings  of  the  "  Hit- 
tites,  a-.id  the  kings  of  tiie  Egyptians,  to 
come  upon  us. 

7  Wherefore  they  arose,  and  lied  in 
the  twiliglU,  and   left  their  tents,  and 

.'  their  l^orses,  and  t!ieir  asses,  even  the

--  1.  uttermost  part  of  the  camp  they  wei'.t 
into  one  tent,  and  did  eat  and  drink,  and 
carried  thence  sliver,  and  gold,  and  r.ii- 
in.^nt,  and  went  and  r  hid  it ;  and  came 
again,  and  entered  into  anathtr  teiil,

belueen  the  alar'and  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  put  it  on  the  north  side  oi 
the  altar. 

15  A'  d  king  Ahaz  commanded  Uriah 
the  priest,  saying,  Upon  the  great  altar 
burn  the  morning  burnt-offering,  and  tin- 
evening  meat-offering,  and  the  king's 
burnt-sacrifice,  and  his  nieat-nffi-rin-. ,

all  the  blood  of  tlie  sacrifice  :  antl  the 
brasen  altar  sli;;ll  bt-  for  me  to  inquire  b.. 

16  <=  Thus  did  Urijah  the  priest,  ac- 
cording to  all  that  king  Ahaz  command- 
ed. 

17  ly  And  king  Ahaz  cut  oil  the  f  bor- 
ders of  the  bases,  and  removed  tlie  laver 
from  ofi  them  ;  and  took  down  the  sea 
from  off  the  brasen  oxen  that  -were  under 
it,  and  put  it  upon  a  pavement  oi"  stones : 

18  And  the  ^  covert  for  the  sabbath 
that  tliey  had  built  in  the  house,  and

1    Hosheci^s   Kvicked  reign.     5  Samaria 
taken,  and  Israel  for  tiidr  sins  carried 
captive.     24  Strange   nations   drought 
into  Sainaria,  kc. 
IN  the  "twelfth  year  of  Ahaz  king 
of  Judah  began  Hoshea  the  son  of  Elah 
to  reign  in  Samaria  over  Israel   nine 
years. 

2  And  he  did  that  vhich  ivas  evil  in 
the  sigiit  of  the  Lord,  but  ^not  as  the 
kings  of  Israel  tliat  were  before  hmi. 

3  ^1  Aganist  him  came  up  =  Shalma- 
neser  king  of  Assyria  :  and  Hosliea  be- 
came his  servant,  and  gave  iiim  presents. 

4  And  the  king  of  Assyria  found  con- 
spn-acy  "^  in  Hoshea ;  for  he  had  sent 
messengers  to  So  king  of  Egypt,  and 
brought  no  p;esent  to  the  king  of  As- 
syria, as  he  hud  done  year  by  year ; 
therefore  the  king  of  Assyria  shut  him 
up,  and  bound  him  in  f  prison. 

5  ^  Then  the  king  of  Assyria  came 
up  « tliroughout  all  the  land,  and  went 
up  to  Samaria,  and  besieged  it  three 
years. 

6  ^T  In  the  f  ninth  year  of  Hosliea,  the 
king  of  Assyria  took  Samaria,  and  ?  car- 
ried Israel  away  into  Assyria,  and  pi;<ced 
them  in  ^  Halah,  and  in  '  Habor  hy  tiic 
river  of  Gozan,  and  in  th?  cities  of  the 
^  Medes. 


7  For  so  it  \vas,  that  the  children  of 
Israel  had  sinned  against  the  Lord  thtir 
God,  which  had  '  brought  them  up  out 
of  the  land  of  Egypi,  from  under  liie 
hand  of  Pliaraoh  king  of  Egypt,  and  had 
feared  '"  other  gods, 

8  And  walked  in  the  "  statutes  of  the 
lieathen,  whom  the  Lord  cast  out  from 
before  the  children  of  Israel  and  of 
the  kings  of  Israel,  °  which  they  had 
made. 

9  And  the  children  of  Israel  f  did  se- 
cretly those  things  that  were  not  riglii 
against  the  Lord  tlieir  God,  and  the) 

I  built  them  high  places  in  all  then-  cities, 
from  the  Ptower  of  the  watchmen  to  the 
fenced  city. 

10  And  they  set  them  up  i  images 
and  '  groves  in  ever,  high  hill,  and  un- 
der e^ery  green  tree  : 

11  And  there  tliej  burnt  '  incense  ir^ 
all  the  high  places,  as  did  the  heathei. 
whoHi  tiie  LoE.D  carried  away  '  beiore 
them  ;  and  wrought  wicked  things  to 
provoke  the  Lord  to  anger. 

12  Eor  they  served  idols,  whereof  the 
Lord  had  said  unto  them,  Ye  shall  not 
do  this  thing. 

13  Yet  tin.  Lord  testified  against  Is- 
rael, and  against  judah,  by  all  °  the  pro- 
phets, and  Oy  all  the  seers,  saying,  I'urn 
ye  ^-  from  your  evil  wajs,  and  keep  mj 
commandments  andm\  statutes,  accorci- 
ing  to  all  the  law  which  I  commanded 

I  your  fdthers,  and  whidi  1  sent  to  )ou  by 
my  servants  the  prophets. 

14  Notwithstanding  t'iiey  would  not 
hear,  but  y  hardened  their  necks,  like  to 
the  neck  ot  their  fathers,  that  did  not 
believe  in  the  Lord  their  God. 

13  And  they  rejected  his  statutes,  and 
his  covenant  that  he  made  with  their  fa- 
thers, and  his  testimonies  which  he  tes- 
tified against  ihem  ;  and  they  followed 
vanity,  and  became  ^  vain,  and  went  af- 
ter the  heathen  that  v;tre  round  about 
them,  concerning  whom  the  Lord  had 
charged  them,  that  thev  should  ^not  do 
like  them. 

16  And  they  ^  left  allthe  command- 
ments oi  the  Lord  tiicn'  God,  and  made 
tnem  ^  molten  images,  eie«two  f* calves, 
and  made  a  grove,  and  wcrsinpped  ah 
the  «  host  of  heaven,  and  served  Bual. 

17  And  they  caused  thtir  sons  anti 
their  daughters  f  to  pass  through  the 
hre,  and  used  divination  and  enchant 
ments,  and  ssold  th.emselves  to  do  evil 
lii  the  s:ght  of  the  Loud,  to  provoke 
iiim  to  aHj^er. 

13  Therefore  the  Lord  was  very 
angry  with  Israel,  and  removed  them 
out  •>  of  his  sight :  there  was  none  left 
but  the  tribe  of  ■  Judah  only. 

19  Also  k  Judah  kept  not  the  com- 
mandments of  the  Lord  their  God,  but 
walked  in  the  statutes  of  Israel  whicli 
they  made. 

20  And  the  Lord  rejected  all  the  seed 
of  Israel,  and  afflicted  then},  and  deliv-

thou  hast  removed,  and  placed  in  the 
cities  of  Samaria,  know  not  the  manner 
of  the  God  of  the  land  :  therefore  he 
hath  sent  lions  among  them,  and,  be-

not  the  manner  of  the  G-id  of  the  land. 

27  Then  the  king  of  Assyria  com- 
manded, saying,    Carry  thither  one  of

thence,  and  let  them  go  and  dwell  there, 
and  let  iiim  teach  th.cm  the  manner  of

they  had  carried  away  from  Samaria, 
came  and  dwelt  in  >'  Beth-el,  and  taught 
tliem  how  they  should  fear  the  Lord.

Gozan,  and  in  the  cities  of  the  Medes ; 

12  Because  they  ^  obej-ed  not  the  voice 
of  the  LoRU  their  God,  but  transgress- 
ed his  covenant,  and  all  that  Moses,  the 
servant  of  the  Loud,  commanded,  and 
would  not  hear  them,  nor  do  them. 

13^  Now,  in  the  «  fourteenth  year  of 
king  Hezekiab,  did  Sennacherib  king  of 
Assyria  come  up  against  all  the  fenced 
cities  of  Judah,  and  'took  them. 

14  And  Hezekiah  king  of  Judah  sent 
to  itie  king  of  Assyria  to  "  Lachish,  say- 
ing, I  have  "  offended  ;  return  from  me : 

Proverbs'  that  whicli  thou  puttest  on  me  I  will 
29.  25.       bear.    And  the  king  of  Assyria  appoint- 
ed unto  Hezekiah  king  of  Judah  three 
hundred  talents  ef  silver,  and  thirty  tal- 
ents of  gold. 

15  And  Hezekiah  gave  him  all  y  the  'I 
silver  that  was  found  in  the  iiouse  ofthe  l| 
Lord,  and  in  the  treasures  of  the  king's  !| 
house.  ll 

16  At  that  time  did  Hezekiah  cutoff  ' 
the  '^  gold  from  the  doors  of  the  temple  |i 
ofthe  Lord,  nwifrain  the  pillars  which  '

"  '■■'  stood  by  the  ^  conduit  of  the  upper  jjool, 
which  is  in  the  liigluvay  of  the  fuller's

AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  king' 
Hezekiah  »  heard  it,  that  he  rent  his

5  So  the  servants  of  king  Hezekiali

I  whom  thou  trustest  deceive  thee,  say 
ing,  Jerusalem  shall  not  be  delivered 
nto  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Assyria. 

11  Beliold,  thou  hast  heard  wliat  the 
ings  of  Assyria  liave  done  to  all  lands, 

Sy  destroying  them  utterly  ;  and  shalt 
rhoM  be  deUvered  ? 

12  Have  the  gods  of  the  nations  de- 
'ivered  them  which  »  my  fatiiers  have 
lestroyed  ;  as  Gozan,  andcHa'an,  and 
'<ezeph,  and  the  children  of  "  Eden 
A'hich  ii'ere  in  Thelasar  ? 

13  Where /*  the  king  of  Hamath,  and 
the  king  of  Arpad,  and  the  king  of  the 
city  of  Scphcrvaim,  of  Hena,  and  Ivah  ? 

14  ^  And  Hezekiah  received  the  let- 
ter of  the  hand  of  the  messengers,  and 
read  it:  and  Hezekiah  went  up  into  the 
hou.se  of  the  Lord,  and  spread  it  be- 
fore "  the  Lord. 

15  And  Hezekiah  prayed  before  tl.e 
Lord,  and  said,  O  Lord  God  of  Is- 
rael, which  y  dwellest  betviten  tlie  che- 
rubims,  thou  art  the  Gi'd,  f  =:■.«!  thou  ' 
alone,  of  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth  ; 
tlinu  jiast  ^  made  heaven  and  earth. 

16  Lord,  bow  down  ^  thine  ear,  and 
hear:  <=  open.  Lord,  thine  eyes,  and 
see  ;  and  hear  the  words  of  Sennache- 
rib, w  hich  hath  sent  him  to  reproach  the 
living  God. 

17  Of  a  ti'uth.  Lord,  the  kings  of 
A.ssyria  have  '^  destroyed  the  nations 
and  llielr  lands, 

18  And  have  f  cast  their  gods  into 
the  fire :  for  they  vere  no  gods,  but  « 
tlie  work  of  men's  hands,  wood  and 
s  one  :  therefore  they  have  destroyed 
them. 

19  Now,  therefore,  O  Lord  f  our 
God,  I  beseecli  thee,  save  tliou  us  out  <!f 
his  hand,  iliat  ?  all  the  kingdoms  of  the 
earth  may  know  that  thou  art  the  Lord 
God,  even  thou  only. 

20  ^1  Then  ^  Isaiah  the  son  of  Amoz 
sent  to  Hezekiah,  saying.  Thus  saith 
ttie  Lord  God  of  Israel,  That  ■  which 
thou  hast  prayed  to  me  against  Senna- 
cherib king  of  Ass\ria  I  have  heard. 

21  This  is  the  word  that  tiie  Lord 
hath  spoken  concerning  him.  The  i^  vir- 
gin, the  daugliter  of  Zion,  hath  despis- 
ed '  lltee,  and  lauglied  thee  to  scorn  ; 
the  daughter  of  Jerusalem  hath  shaken 
■•'  iier  head  at  thee. 

22  Whom  hast  thou  reproached  and 
blasijhemed  ?  and  against  whom  hast 
tiioii  exalted  thy  voice,  and  lificd  up 
thine  eyes  on  high  ?  even  against  the 
holy  "  One  of  Israel. 

23  By  thy  "  messengers  thou  hast  re- 
pi'</achetl  the  Lord,  and  hast  said, 
Willi  the  p  multitude  of  my  chariots  I

5  watcs,  and  with  the  sole  of  my  feet 
liave  I  dried  up  all  the  rivers  of  besiei^ed 
places. 

25  Hast  thou  not  heard  lonpf  ai:;^o  no^v  i 
I  Iiave  done  it,  and  of  ancient  times  that 
I  liave  formed  it?  now  have  I  brought 
it  to  pass,  that  =  thou  shouldest  be  to 
lav  waste  fenced  cities  into  ruinous  heaps. 

26  Therefore  their  inhabita  ts  were 
of  t  small  power,  they  were  dismayed 
and  conf  lunded;  they  were  cj  theprrass 
of  the  field,  and  as  the  jjreen  herb,  as 
the  '^  grass  --m  the  house-tops ;  and  as 
corn  blasted  before  it  be  pfrown  up. 

27  But  I  know  thy  *  abode,  and  tl)y 
going'  out,  and  thy  coming-  in,  and  tiiy 
rage  y  against  mc. 

28  Because  t'ly  rage  against  me,  and 
thy  tumult,  is  com-  up  into  mine  ears, 
therefore  I  wi'i  put  my  ^  hjok  in  thy 
nose,  and  my  bridle  in  thy  lips,  and  I 
will  turn  thee  back  by  the  way  by  which 
thou  camest. 

29  A.nd  this  shall  be  a  sign  unto  thee. 
Ye  shall  eat  ^  this  year  such  things  as 
grow  of '=  tliemselves,  and  in  the  second 
vear  that  which  springeth  of  the  same; 
and  in  the  third  year  sow  ye,  and  reap, 
and  plant  vineyards,  and  eat  the  fruits 
tiiereof. 

30  And  the  remnant  that  is  escaped 
of  the  house  of  Judah  shall  yet  again 
take  <•  root  downward,  and  bear  iruit 
upward. 

31  For  out  of  =  Jerusalem  shall  go 
forth  a  remnant,  and  they  that  escape 
out  of  mount  Zion  :  the  ^  zeal  of  tiie 
Lord  nf  hosts  siiall  do  this. 

32  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
concerning  the  king  of  Assyria,  He 
shall  ?  not  come  into  this  city,  nor  shoot 
an  arrow  there,  nor  come  before  it 
with  shield,  nor  cast  a  bank  against  it. 

33  By  the  way  ^  that  he  came  by  the 
same  siiall  he  return,  and  shall  not  come 
iinto  this  city,  saith  the  Lord. 

31  For  I  will  defend  this  city  to  save 
{^^4'     '*'  ^'^^  '  "^'"^  ''"'"  sake,  and  for  my  ser- 
k  i  Kings  ^'ant  k  David's  sake. 
11. 12.  35  ^  And  it  came  to  pass  '  that  night, 

that  the  '^  angel  of  the  Lord  went  out 
and  smote  ia  the  "  camp  of  the  Assyri- 
aas  an  hundred  fourscore  and  five  thou- 
sand :  and  when  they  arose  early  in  the 
morning,  behold,  they  v:ere  all  dead 
corpses. 

36  So  Sennacherib  king  of  Assyria 
departed,  and  went  and  returned,  and 
dwelt  at  '  Nineveh. 

37  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was

tiiat  the  word  of  the  Lord  came  to  him,  6. 8.

this  covenant  that  were  written  in  this

"re.  33"^^  foi"  3II  ^lie  host  of  heaven  ;  and  he  burnt 

them  without  Jerusalem  in  the  fields  of 

Kidron,  and  carried  the  ashes  of  tiiem

5  And  he  put  down  the  "  idolatrous 
priests,  whom  the  kings  of  Judah  had 
ordained  to  burn  i-.icense  in  the  high 
places,  in  the  cities  of  Judah,  and  in  the

so that  burnt  incense  unto  Baal,  to  the 
sun,  and  to  the  moon,  and  to  the  planets, 
and  to  all  the  °  host  of  heaven. 

6  And  he  brought  out  the  p  gro^e

Jei-usalem,  unto  the  brook  Kidron,  and 
burnt  it  at  tiie  brook  Kidron,  and  stamp-

28  Now  t!ie  rest  of  the  acts  of  Josiah, 
and  all  that  he  did,  are  they  not  written 
in  the  hiuk  of  the  Chronicles  of  the

29  ^  In  «  his  days  Pharaoh-ncchoh 
king  of  Egypt  went  up  against  the  king 
of  Assyria  to  the  river  Eiiphrates  :  and 
king  Josiaii  went  against  him  ;  and  he 
f  slew  him  at  Megiddo  when  he  had  ?■ 
seen  iiim. 

30  And  his  servants  carried  him  in 
a  chariot  dead  from  Megiddo,  and 
brought  him  to  Jerusah  m,  and  buried 
Inm  in  his  own  sepulclire:  and  the  peo- 
ple of  the  land  took  1|  Jehoahaz,  tlie

made  liim  king  n  his  father's  stead.

32  And  he  did  that  which  ivas  evil  in 
the  sight  of  the  Lord,  according  to  all 
that  •<  his  fathers  had  done. 

33  And  Phi'-raoh-nechoh  put  him  in

salem ;  and  put  the  land  to  a  tribute  of 
an  hundred  talents  of  silver,  and  a  ta- 
lent of  gold. 

34  And  Pharaoh -nechoh  made  Elia- 
kim  the  son  of  Josiah  king  in  the  room 
of  Josiah  his  father,  and  °  turned  his 
name  to  "  Jehoiakim,  and  took  Jeho- 
ahaz away  :  and  he  came  to  Eg)pt, 
and  p  died  there. 

35  And  Jehoiakim  "3  gave  the  silver 
and  the  gold  to  Pharaoh  ;  but  he  taxed 
the  land  to  give  the  money,  according 
to  the  commandment  of  Pharaoh  ;  he

2  And  David  said,  I  will  sliew  kind- 1^\^"^-

■^  because  his  father  shewed  kindness  to  rfaSaia- 

me.    And   David  sent   messengers  to  ^' '" 

comfort  him  concerning  his  father.     So 

the  servants  of  David  came  into  the  land 

of  the  children  of  Ammon,  to  Hanun, 

<^  to  comfift  him.  eLam.. 

3  But  the  princes  of  the  children  of  ^"  ^^' 
Ammon  said  to  Hanun,  f  Thinkest  thou  t  Heb. 
that  David  doth  lionour  thy  father,  that  ^^  '^",\

4  Wherefore  Hanun  took  David's  ser- 
vants, and  g  shaved  them,  ynd  cut  off  ^2  Sam. 
their  gai-men's  in  the  midst,  hard  by  p°satm

David  hovf  the  men  were  served  :  and  isaiah 
he  sent  to   meet  them  ;  for  the    men  20.  4.

said,  Tarry  at '  Jt-richo  until  your  beards  « 1  Kings 
be  grown,  and  tlien  return.  ^^"  ^'

the   children  of  Ammon  sent  a  thou-  stinking,

14  S  1  Joab,  and  the  people  that  were 
with  him,  drew  nigh  before  the  Sjrians 
unto  the  battle ;  and  they  fled  before 
him. 

15  And  when  the  children  of  Ammon 
saw  that  the  Syrians  were  fled,  they 
likewise  '  fled  before  Abishai  liis  bro- 
ther, and  entered  into  the  city.  Then 
Joab  came  to  Jerusalem. 

16  ^  And  wiien  the  Syrians  saw  that

17  And  it  was  told  David ;  and  he 
gathered  all  Israel,  and  "  pussed  over 
Jordan,  and  came  upon  them,  and  set 
the  battle  in  array  against  them.  So 
when  David  had  put  the  battle  in  array 
against  the  Syrians  they  fought  with 
him. 

18  But  the  Syrians  fled  before  Israel ; 
and  David  slew  of  the  Syrians  seven 
thousand  7nen,  which  fought  in  chariots, 
and  y  forty  thousand  tbotnien,  and  kill- 
ed Shophach,  the  captain  of  the  host. 

19  And  when  the  servants  of  Hadar- 
ezer saw  that  they  were  put  to  the 
worse  before  Israel,  they  made  peace 
with  David,  and  became  his  =  servants:

thyself  what  word  I  shall  bring  again  to

upon  Israel :  and  there  fell  of  Israel  ^ 
seventy  thousand  men.

salem to  destroy  it ;  and  as  he  was  de- 
stroying the  Lord  beheld,  and  he  «  re- 
pented him  of  the  evil,  and  said  to  the 
angel  that  destroyed.  It  is  enough,  stay 
now  lliine  hand.  And  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  stood  by  the  threshing-floor  of 
Oman  the  Jebusite. 

16  And  David  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and 
saw  the  angel  of  the  Lord  stand  be- 
tween tlie  earth  and  the  heaven,  having 
f  a  drawn  sword  in  his  hand,  stretched 
out  over  Jei-usalem :  then  David  and  the 
elders  of  Israel  vcho  iicc.re  "  clothed  in 
suckcloih,  "  tell  upon  their  faces. 

17  And  David  caid  unto  God,  Is  tt 
not  I  that  commanded  the  people  to  Le

and  (lone  evil  indeed  ;  but  as  for  these  v 
sheep,  what  have  they  done?  Let  thine 
hand,  I  jsray  thee,  O  Lord  my  God, 
be  on  me,  and  on  my  father's  house ; 
but  not  on  thy  people,  that  they  should

18  <![  Then  the  =^  angel  of  tl:e  Lord 
commanded  »  Gad  to  say  to  David,  that 
David  should  go  up,  aud  set  up  an  altar 
unto  the,  Lord  in  the  threshmg-fioor  of 
Oman  the  Jebusite. 

19  And  David  went  up  at  ^  the  saying 
of  Gad,  whicli  he  spake  in  the  name  of 
the  Lord. 

20  And  Oman  turned  back,  and  saw 
the  angel;  and  his  four  sons  with  him"^ 
hid  themselves.  Now  Oman  was  <>thresii- 
ing  wheat. 

21  And,  as  David  came  to  Oman, 
Oman  looked,  aad  =  saw  David,  ;uid 
went  out  of  the  tlireshing-floor,  and  ' 
bowed  himself  to  David  with  his  ikce  to 
the  ground. 

22  Then  David  said  to  Oman,  f  Grant 
me  the  place  of  this  tlireshiiig-tioor,  that 
1  may  bvjild  an  altar  theiein  unto  t!ie 
Lokd;  thou  shall  grant  it  me  for  the 
ftill  price,  that  the  plague  ma\  be  stayed 
from  the  ptople. 

23  And  Oman  said  unto  David,  Take 
it  to  thee,  and  let  my  lord  the  king  do 
that  which  is  good  m  his  e\es :  lo,  i 
give  thee  the  oxen  ulio  i'or  burr.t-oitcr- 
ings,  and  the  £  tlireshing  instruments 
for  wood,  and  the  vviieai  for  the  meat 
oflcring,  I  give  it  all. 

24  And  kmg  Diivid  said  to  Orran, 
Nay ;  but  1  will  verily  '■  buy  it  fur  ihi-

25  So  David  gave  to  Oman  for  the  \^^.,j>^ 
place  i  six  hundred  shekels  of  gold  by  a  am,

26  And  David  built  there  an  altar 
unto  the  Lord,  and  offered  burnt-oflTer- 
ings,   ai.d  peace-offerings,  and   called 
upon  the  Lord;  and  he  answered  him  g^^^' 
from  heaven  ^  by  fire  upon  the  altar  of  jKinas

27  And  the  Lord  commanded  the  ^^^^^°''- 
angel,  and  he  '  put  up  his  sword  again  p's.m.  3.

that  the  Lord  had  answered  him  in  m  Gen.

hew  wrought  stones  to  build  the  house

NOW  these  are  the  divisions  of  the

fore their  father,  and  had  ^  no  children : 
therefore  Eleazar  and  Ithamar  executed 
the  priesi'b  office.

«  Zadok,  of  the  sons  of  Eleazar,  and  f 
Aliimelech,  of  the  sons  of  Ithamar,  ac- 
curding  to  their  6  offices  in  their  service. 

4  And  tliere  were  more  chief  men 
found  of  ihe  sons  of  Eleazar  than  of  the 
sons  of  Ithamar;  and  thus  were  they  di- 
vided: iiHiong  the  s"n«  of  Eleazar  there 
•were  sixteen  cliief  men  of  the  liouse  of 
t/iei'-  fathers,  and  ciglit  among  the  sons

face  of  tlune  anointed:  remember  the 
mercies  of  David  thy  servant. 

CHAP.  VII. 
1  Goclgiveth  testimony  to  Solomon's  firm- 
er.- ,'i:s  solemn  sacrifice.  12  Gou's  pro- 
mise to  Solomon. 

NOW,  when  Solomon  ^had  made  an 
end  of  praying',  the  ^  fire  came  down 
from  heaven,  and  consumed  the  bvirnt- 
offering  and  the  sacrilices ;  and  the  ■=  !■  lo- 
ry of  the  Lord  tilled  the  house. 

2  And  the  priests  could  <•  not  enter 
into  the  house  of  the  Lord,  because 
the  glory  of  the  Loud  had  lilled  the 
Lord's  house. 

3  And  when  all  the  children  of  Israel 
saw  how  the  tire  came  down,  and  the 
giory  of  the  Lord  upon  the  house,  they 
c  bowed  themselves  witii  their  faces  to 
the  ground  upon  the  pavement,  and 
worsiiipped,  and  praised  tiie  Lord, 
saying.  For  he  is  good ;  for  his  mercy 
ey.diireth  for  ever. 

4  <ii  rhen  tne  iiing  a!id  ail  the  peo- 
ple o.'iered  sacrilices  oefore  tht;  Lord. 

5  And  king  Soiomon  oiiered  f  a  sa- 
crifice of  twenty  and  two  thousand  ox- 
en, and  an  hundred  and  twenty  thou- 
sand sheep:  so  the  king  and  all  the 
pi^ople  deaicated  the  house  of  God. 

6  And  the  priests  £  waited  on  their 
offices  ;  ti:e  Levites  also  with  insuu- 
ments  of  music  of  the  Lord,  which  Da- 
vid the  king  had  made  to  praise  the 
Lord,  because  his  mcYcy  enduitth  for 
ever,  when  David  praised  by  their  min- 
istry ;  and  the  ''  priests  sounded  trump- 
ets before  them,   and  all  Israel  '  stood. 

7  Moreover,  Solomon  f-  hallowed  the 
k  1  Kings  middle  of  the  court  that  %\ias  before  the 
8.64,65.  iiouse  of  the  Lord:  for  there  he  of- 
fered burnt-ofi't-rings,  and  tUe  fat  of  the 
peace-offerings,  because  ihe  brasen  al- 
tar which  Solomon  had  made  wa,  not 
able  to  receive  the  burnt-orl'erings,  and 
the  meat-oHeriogs,  and  the  fat. 

8  1[  Also  at  tiie  same  time  Solomon 
kept  1  the  feast  seven  days,  and  all 
Israel  with  him,  a  very  great  congrega- 
tion, from  the  entering  in  of  "'  Hamath 
unto  the  "  river  of  Egypt.

5  H  Then  came  Shemaiah  the  propl^et 
to  Rehob.  am,  and  to  the  princes  of  Ju-

unto  them,  Tlius  saith  the  Lord,  Ye 
have  h  forsaken  me,  and  therefore  have 
I  also  left  you  in  the  hand  of  Shishak. 

6  Wliereupon  the  princes  of  Israel

They  have  humbled  themselves,  thtre- 
m  Deut.  f-gfg  I  yvill  m  not  destroy  them,  but  I  will 
^'■^'  grant  them  some  dehverance;  and  my 
nJer.  52.  wrath  "shall  not  be  poured  out  upon

vants ;  t'lat  they  may  know  "  my  ser- 
vice, and  the  service  of  the  kingdoms

9  So  p  Shishak  king  of  Egypt  came 
18.24,28.  yp  against  Jerusalem,  and  took  awa)- 

the  treasures  of  the  house  of  the  Lord, 
and  the  treasures  of  the  king's  house  ; 
he  took  all :  he  carried  away  also  the 
shields  of  gold  which  Solomon  had  i 
made. 

10  Instead  of  which  king  Rehoboam 
made  shields  of  brass,  and  committed 

r  1  Kings  them  to  the  hands  of  '  the  chief  of  the 
14. 2r.      guard,  that  kept  the  entrance  of  the

11  And  when  the  king  entered  into 
the  house  of  the  Lord,  the  guard  came 
and  fetched  them,  and  brought  them 
again  into  the  gu.nrd-chamber.

yeroboam :    13   he  overcoviet/i  j'ero- 

boavi.    21  Abijah's  zvives  and  children. 

NOW,  in  the  ^  eighteenth  year  of 

king  Jeroboam  began  Abijah  to  reign 

over  Judah. 

2  He  reigned  three  years  in  Jeaisa- 
lenr. :  (his  moiher's  name  also  '■jjas  ^  Mi- 
chaiah,  the  daughter  of  Uriel  of '^  Gibe- 
ali :)  and  there  was  war  between  Abijah 
and  Jeroboam. 

3  And  Abijah  f  set  the  battle  in  array 
with  an  army  of  valiant  men  of  war,  even 
<>  four  hundred  thousand  chosen  men  : 
Jeroboam  also  set  the  battle  in  array 
against  him  with  eiglit  hundred  thou- 
sand chosen  men,  being  mighty  men  of 
valour. 

4  ^1  And  Abijah « stood  up  upon  mount 
fZemaraim,  which  is'in  mouni  Eph^aim, 
and  said,  Hear  me,  thou  Jeroboam,  and 
all  Israel : 

5  Ought  ye  not  to  know,  that  the 
Lord  God  of  Israel  ?  gave  the  kingdom 
over  Israel  to  David  for  ever,  even  {*■ 
him  and  to  his  sons  by  ■'  a  covenant  cf 
sah  ? 

6  Yet  Jeroboam,  the  son  of  Nebat, 
the  servant  of  Solomon,  the  son  ol 
David,  is  risen  up,  and  hath  ■  rebelled 
against  his  lord. 

7  And  there  are  gathered  unto  him 
^  vain  men,  the  children  of  i  Belial,  and 
have  strengthened  themselves  against 
Rehoboam,  the  son  of  Solomem,  when 
Relioboajn  was  •"  young  and  "  tender- 
hearted, and  could  not  withst:ind  tliem. 

8  And  now  ye  think  to  withstand  the 
kingdom  of  the  Lord  in  the  hand  of  the 
sons  of  David;  and  ye  be  a  great  multi- 
tude, and  there  are  with  you  "  golden 
calves,  which  Jeroboam  p  made  you  for 
gods. 

9  Have  ye  not  t  cast  out  the  priests 
of  tne  Lord,  the  sons  of  Aaron,  and 
the  Levite^,  and  have  made  you  priests 
af-er  the  manner  of  the  nations  of  other 
!arids  ?  so  that  whosoever  cometh  to 
u-onsecr.-ite  himself  sxith  a  young  bul- 
lock, and  s  seven  rams,  the  same  may  be 
a  priest  of  them  that  are  no  gods. 

10  But  as  c  for  us,  the  Lord  is  "-  cur 
God,  and  we  have  not  forsaken  him  ; 
and  the  priests,  which  minister  unto  ;he 
Lord,  are  the  sons  of  Aaron,  and  the 
Levites  v.-ait  upon  their  business. 

11  And  they  ^  burn  unto  the  Lord, 
every  morning  and  every  evening,  burnt- 
,acritices  and  sweet  incense  :  the  shew- 
oread  also  set  they  in  ordtr  upon  the  pure 
'able  ;  and  the  candlestick  of  gold  with 
the  lamps  thereof,  to  burn  every  even- 
ing: for  v/e  keep  the  ciialrge  of  the  L  o«  o

15  Tlien  the  men  of  Judah  f>-ave  a

ed, it  came  to  pass,  that  <=  God  smote 
Jeroboam  and  all  Lsrael  before  Abijah 
and  Judah. 

16  And  t!ie  children  of  Israel  fled  be-

fell  down  slain  of  Israel  « five  hundred

20  Neither  did  Jerobo.am  recover

died. 

21  ^f  But  Abijah  *  waxed  mis^htj^  and

IN  tlie  "  six  asd  thirtieth  year  of  the  « lEingi

up  against  Judah,  and  ^  built  Raniah,  to  u'^s/'

gold  out  of  the  treasures  of  the  house 
of  the  Lord,  and  of  the  king's  house,

silver  and  gold ;  go,  break  thy  league 
with  Baasha  king  of  Israel,  tuat  he  may 
depart  from  me.

Asa,  and  sent  the  captains  of  his  armies

heard  it,  that  he  left  off  building  of  Ra-

Thus  saith  the  Lokd  God  of  David  tliy

nor  in  tiie  ways  of  Asa  Ici.ig  of  Judah, 

13  But  hast  walked  ir  the  way  of  the

14  Behold,  with  a  great  plague  will 
tiie  Lord  smite  tiiy  people,  and  thy 
children,  and  thy  wives,  and  all  thy 
goods : 

15  And  thou  shah  have  great  sickness 
by  disease  of  thy  >■  bowels,  until  thy

d.ay  by  day. 

16  51  Moreover,  v  the  Lord  stin*ed 
up  against  Jchoram  the  spirit  of  the 
Philistines,  and  of  the  Arabians,  that 
iccre  t  i.ear  the  Ethiopians. 

17  And  they  came  up  into  Judah,  and 
^  brake  into  it,  and  carried  away  all  the 
substance  that  ivas  found  in  the  king's 
house,  and  his  sons  also,  and  his  wives; 
so  that  there  was  never  a  son  left  him 
save  Jehoahaz,  the  youngest  of  his  sons. 

18  ^  And  after  all  tiiis  the  Lord 
smote  him  in  his  ^  bowels  with  an  ui- 
curable  disease. 

19  And  it  came  to  pass,  lliat,  in  pro- 
cess of  lime,  after  tlic  end  of  two  years, 
his  bowels  fell  out  by  reason  of  his  sick- 
ness ;  so  he  died  of  sore  diseases  :  and 
his  peojjle  made  \\o  ^  burning  lor  him

>ouse  of  Ah;b:  f-r  Hiis  mother  was  his 
:c  )'insell)r  lo  do  wickedly. 

4  Wherefore  he  ilid  evil  in  the  sight 
)f  tiie  Lord,  hke  -he  house  of  Ahab  .- 
for  tiiev  were  his  cou'fsellors,  after  the 
1 -alh  of  his  father,  to  his  !>  destruc- 
tion. 

5  *^i  He  walked  also  after  their  '  coun- 
sel, and  went  with  Jehoram,  the  son  of 
Ahab  king  of  Israel,  to  war  against  Ha- 
z'iel  king  of  Syria  at  ^  Ramoth-gilead  : 
and  tiie  Syrians  smote  Joram. 

6  And  he  returned  to  be  healed  in 
1  Jezreei,  because  of  the  wounds  which 
were  given  him  at  Ramah,  wlien  he 
fouglit  with  Mazael  king  of  Syria.  And 
Azariah,  the  son  of  Jetioram  king  of  Ju- 
dah, went  down  to  see  Jehoram,  the  son 
of  Ahab,  at  Jezreei,  because  he  was 
sick. 

7  And  the  f  destruction  of  Ahaziah 
•■■1  v.as  of  God,  by  coming  to  Joram :  for 
when  he  was  come  he  went  out  with 
Jehoram  against  Jehu,  the  son  of  Nim- 
shi,  whom  the  Lord  had  "  anointed  to 
cut  off  the  house  of  Ahab. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
Jehu  was  °  executing  judgment  upor 
the  house  of  Ahab,  andfound  the  princes 
of  Jud.ili,  and  the  sons  of  the  p  breUiren 
of  Ahaziah,  that  ministered  to  Ahaziah, 
ihe  slew  them. 

9  A.nd  rhe  sought  Ahaziah  :  and  they 
caught  him  (for  he  was  hid  in  Samaria) 
and  brought  liim  to  Jehu  ;  and  v.'iien 
they  h.-id  slain  him  they  buned  iiim :  Be- 
cause, said  th.ey,  he  is  the  son  of  Je- 
hoshapliat,  wiio  ^  so'igiit  the  Lord 
with  all  bis  heart.  So  the  house  of 
Ahaziah  had  no  power  to  keep  still  the 
kingdom. 

10  %  But  when  Athaliah,  the  mother 
of  Ahazi  d),  ■■  saw  that  her  son  was  dead, 
she  arv)se,  and  destroyed  all  the  seed

I  Uzziah  beginneth  to  reign  viell :  11  his 
host,  and  erigines  of  war  :  16  he  inva- 
detli  the  priest's  office,  and  is  smitten 
•with  leprosy  :  22  nis  death. 

THEN  all  the  people  of  Judah  took 

II  Uzziah,  who  was  sixteen  years  old, 
and  made  him  king  in  the  room  of  his 
father  Amazi:!h. 

2  He  built  Eloth,  and  restored  it  to 
Judah,  after  that  the  king  slept  with  his 
fiUhers. 

3  Sixteen  years  old  luas  Uzziah  when 
he  began  to  reign  ;  and  he  reigned  fifty 
and  two  year^  in  Jerusalem  :  his  mo- 
ther's name  also  was  Jecoliah  of  Jeru- 
salem. 

4  And  he  did  that  which  was  right 
in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  ^according  to 
all  that  his  father  Amaziah  did. 

5  And  lie  sought  God  ^  in  tlie  days 
of  Zee!  ariah,  who  had  understanding  i.. 
•^the  visions  «f  God  :  and  '^  as  long  as 
he  sought  the  Lord,  God  made  him  to 
prosper. 

6  And  he  went  forth,  and  warred  a- 
gainst  the  Phihstines,  and  brake  down 
tlie  wall  of  Gath,  and  the  wall  of  Jab- 
neb,  and  the  wail  of  Ashdod,  and  built 
cities  about  Ashdod,  and  among  the 
Philistines. 

7  And  God  «  helped  him  against  the 
Philistines,  and  against  the  Arabians 
that  dwelt  in  Gur-baal,  and  the  Mehu- 
nims. 

8  And  the  f  Ammonites  g  gave  gifts 
to  Uzziali  :  and  his  name  spread  abroad 
even  to  the  entering  in  of  Eg)pt ;  for  he 
strcngther.ed  himself  exceedingly. 

9  Moreover,  Uzziah  built  ''  towers 
in  Jerusalem,  at  the  '  corner-gate,  and 
at  the  k  valley-gate,  and  at  the  turning 
(>f  the  vail,  and  fortified  them. 

10  Also  he  built  towers  in  the  '  de- 
sert, and  digg-ed  many  wells  :  for  he  liad 
much  cutile,  both  in  the  low-country 
and  in  the  plains  ;  husbandmen  ulso,  and 
vine-dressers  in  the  moimlain.s,  and  in 
Carmel :  for  he  loved  husbundry. 

11  Moreover,  Uzziah  had  '"an  host 
of  fighting  men,  that  vent  out  to  war 
by  bands,  according  to  the  nundier  of 
their  account  by  the  hand  of  Jeiel  the 
scribe,  and  Maaseiah  the  ruler,  under  tlie 


CHRIST 

tarns.  810. 

12  The  whole  number  of  the  chief  of  ^,^»y>j 
the  fathers  of  the  mighty  men  of  valour 

were  two  thousand  and  six  hundred. 

13  And  under  their  hand  was  an  ar- 
my, three  hundred  thousand,  and  seven 
thousand  and  five  hundred,  that  made 
war  with  mightv  power,  to  help  the  king 
against  the  enemy. 

14  And  Uzziah  prepared  for  them, 
throughout  all  the  host,  shields,  and 
spears,  and  helmets,   and  habergeons, 

and  bows,  and  "  slings  to  cast  stones.      «  Judgte 

15  And  he  made  in  Jerusalem  engines,  i°sam. 
invented  by  cunning  men,  to  be  on  the  17.  49. 
towers,  and  ujion  the  bulwarks,  to  shoot 
arrows  and  great  stones  withal  :    and 
his  name  spread  far  abroad  ;  for  he  was 
°  marvellously  helped  tillhe  v/as  strong.  "Psalm 

16  ^1  But  when  he  was  p  strong,  1  his  ^cir.*'765. 
heart  was  lifted  up  to  his  destruction  :  p  Deut. 
for  he  transgressed  against  the  Lord  32.  is. 
his  God,  and  went  into  the  f  temple  of  fs^  jy^*' 
the  Lord  to  «  burn  incense  upon  tlieal-  Proverbs

17  And  Azariah  the  '^  priest  went  in  ig.  e. 
af'er  him,  and  with  him  fourscore  prie.sts  *  Num. 
of  the  Lord,  that  were  valiant  men  ;       j  kings 

18  And  they   withstood  Uzziah  the  9.  25.  an* 
king,  and  said  unto  him,  It  "  appertain-  ^^^'^  4 
eth  not  unto  thee,  Uzziah,   to  burn  in-  t  1  Chr. 
cense  unto  the  Lord,  but  to  the  "  priests  6. 10.

19  Then  Uzziali  was  wroth,  and  had  4.  e. 
a  censer  in  his  hand  to  burn  incense  ; 

and   a  while   he   was    wroth    with    the  a  Num. 
priests  the  ^  leprosy  even  rose  up  in  his  ^^^jg',

20  And  Azariah  the  chief  priest,  and  1. 1. 
all  the  priests,  looked  upon  him,   and,  ^f'^j- 
behold,  he  was  leprous  in  his  forehead, 

and  they  thrust  him  out  from  thence; 

yea,  Itimself  ■=  hasted  also  to  go  out  be- c  Esther 

cause  the  Lord  had  smitten  him.  ^•^^* 

21  And  Uzziah  the  king  was  a  leper 
unto  the  day  of  his  death,  and  dwelt  in 

''a  several  house,  being  a  leper;  for  he  d  Lev,

shemesh,  and  ■-•  Ajalon,  and  f  Gederolh, 
and  g  Sliocho  with  the  villages  thereof, 
and  ^  Timnah  with  the  villages  thereof, 
G-mzo  also  and  the  villages  tliereof: 
and  they  dwelt  there. 

19  For  the  Lord  brought  Jadah  low, 
because  of  Ahaz  king-  of  ■  Israel ;  for 
he  made  J'ldah  k  naked,  and  transgress- 
ed sore  against  the  Lord. 

20  And  1  Tilgath-pilneser  king  of  As- 
syria came  unto  him,  and  '"•'  distressed 
him,  but  strengthened  him  not. 

21  For  Ahaz  took  away  a  portion  out 
of  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  out 
of  the  house  of  the  king,  and  of  the 
princes,  »  and  gave  it  unto  the  king  of 
Assyria :  but  he  helped  him  not. 

22  *[  And  in  the  time  of  his  distress 
did  he  trespass  °  yet  more  against  the 
Lord  :  v  tli;s  is  that  king  Ahaz. 

2a  For  he  <i  sacrificed  ur.to  Llie  gods  of 
Da  iiascus  wliichsmotehim :  and  hesaid, 
Because  the  go  Is  of  the  kings  of  S\Tia 
f  help  tlu-m,  therefore  will  1  sacrifice  to 
the  11,  tn-xttncy  *  may  help  me:  but  they 
were  the  ruin  of  him,  and  of  all  Israel. 

24  And  Ahaz  ^  jruthered  tDgelher  tlie 
vessels  of  tlie  liouso  of  God,  and  cut  in 
pieces  the  vessels  of  the  house  of  God, 
and  siiul  up  the  doors  of  the  house  of 
the  Lord,  and  lie  made  him  altars  in 
every  corner  of  Jerusalem. 

25  And  m  every  several  city  of  Judah 
he  made  nigh  places  to  burn  incense  unto 
'"•  otlier  gods,  and  provoked  to  anger  the 
Lord  God  of  iiis  fathers. 

2b  *i\  Now,  t!ie  rest  of  his  acts,  and  of 
all  his  ways,  first  and  last,  behold,  they 
are  wriUen  in  the  bo  ik  of  the  Kings  of 
Judah  and  Israt^l. 

27  And  Ahaz  slept  with  his  fathers,  and 
they  hurled  him  in  the  cit\',  even  in  Jeru- 
salem ;  but  they  brought  liim  not  into 
the  sej;ulchres  (jf  the  kings  of  Israel :  and 
Hezekiah  his  son  reigned  m  his  stead.

HEZEKIAH  3  began  to  reign  luhen 
he  'i-i'.ts  five  a;id  twenty  years  old  ;    and 
lie  reigned  nine  and  twenty  years  in  Je- 
rusilem  ;   and  his  mother's  name  %vas 
Abijah,  the  daugliler  of  Zechariah. 

2  And  he  did  that  'i-,'hich  '^^as  right  in 
the  sigl»t  of  the  Lord,  according  to  all 
that  David  his  father  had  done. 

3  •.  He,  in  the  hrst  yeur  of  his  reign,  in 
the  first  month,  ^-opened  tlie  doors  of" the 
house  of  the  Lord,  and  repaired  them. 

4  And  he  brought  in  the  priests  and 
the  "=  Leviies,  and  gathered  them  to- 
gether into  the  east  street, 

5  And  said  unto  them,  Hear  me,  ye 
Levites;  d  Sanctify  now  yours -Ives,  and 
sanctify  the  house  of  the  Lord  God  of 
your  fathers,  and  carry  forth  the  t  filthi- 
ness  o'.it  of  the  holy  plare. 


6  For  '  our  fathers  have  trespassed,    Before 
and  done  that  which  'was  evil  in  the  eyes      ^ge 
of  the  Lord  our  God,  and  have  tor-      v,-^ 
saken  him,  and  have  f  turned  away  their  ei  Peter 
fares  from  the  habitation  of  the  Lord,  '•  ^8. 
and  turned  their  backs.  2. 27^ 

7  Also  they  have  ?  shut  up  the  doors  Ezsk. 
of  the  porch,  and  put  out  the  lamps,  ^'^^' 
and  have  not  burnt  incense,  nor  offered  28.  24." 
burnt-offerings  in  the  ''  holy  place,  unto  ''  Lev. 
tiie  God  of  Israel.  I'lcbigs 

8  Wherefore  the  "  wrath  of  the  Lord  8.  64. 
was  upon  Judah  and  Jerusalem,  and  he  ^i^^^P" 
hath  delivered  them  to   f  trouble,  to  57'  jg, 
astonishment,  and  to  hissing,  as  ye  see  t  Heb. 
with  vour  e^  es  fng""^ 

9  For,  lo,  our  fathers  have  fallen  by  ueut. 
the    k  sword,   and  our   sons,    and   our  28. 24. 
daughters,  and  our  wives,  are  in  cap- 1  g"'^^ 
tivity  for  this.  *  Lev. 

10  Now  it  is  in  '  mine  heart  to  make  /  j'g}' 
'^i  a  covenant  with  the  Lord  G  )d  of  Is-  g.  17. 
rael,  that  his  fierce  wrath  may  turn  a-  in«i'ings 
way  from  us.  ^''  '*' 

il  My  sons,  ||  be  not  now  negligent ;  ||  or, 
for  the  Lord  hath  "  chosen  you  to  stand  *«  "o.' 
before  him,  to  serve  him,  and  that  ye  or,  go  no't 
should  minister  unto  him,  and  burn  in-  astray, 
cense.  °^;;- 

12^  Then  the  Levites  arose,  Mahath,  1  cor. 
the  son  of  Amasai,  and  Joel,  the  son  o'  16. 10. 
Azariah,  of  the  sons  of  the  Kohathites:  "  i^.""* 
and  of  the  sons  of  Merari ;  Kish,  the  son 
of  Abdi,  and  Azariah,  the  son  of  Jeha-

son  of  Zimmah,  and  Eden,  the  son  of 
Joah  : 

13  Andof  the  sons  of  °  Elizaphan ;  oNum.

and  Shimel:  and  of  the  sons  of  Jcdu- 

thun  ;  Shemaiah,  and  Uzziel. 

15  And  they  gaViiered  their  brethren, 
and  sanctified  themselves,  and  came, 
according  to  the  commandment  of  the 
king,  by  the  words  of  the  Lord,  to 
cleanse  the  house  of  the  Lord. 

16  And  the  priests  went  into  the  <i  in-  9 1  Kings 
ner  part  of  the  house  of  the  Lord  to  ^-  ■'^• 
cleanse  it,  and  brought  out  all  the  un- 
cleanness  that  they  found  in  the  temple 

)f  the  Lord  into  the  co'irt  of  the  house 
of  the  Loud.    And  the  Levites  took  it, 

to  carrv'  it  out  abroad  into  the  brook

1"  Now  they  began  on  the  first  day  i'Kings 
of  the  first  month  to  sanctifv,  and  on  the  2.  37.

tifiedthe  house  of  the  Lord  in  eight  ^-   • 
days ;  and  in  the  sixteenth  day  or'  the  , 

first  month  they  made  an  end. 

18  Then  they  went  in  to  Hezekiah 

the  king,  and  said,  We  have  cleansed    ^  ^. 
all  the  house  of  the  Lord,  and  the  altar  7  43 
of  burnt-oll'cring,  with  all  the  <  vessels  «  Exod.

20  II  Then  Hezekiah  the  king  rose 
y  early,  »nd  gathered  the  ^  rulers  of  the 
city,  and  went  up  to  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

21  And  tliey  brought  ^  seven  bullocks,

seven  he-goats,  for  ^  a  sin-ottering  for

for  Juduh  :  and  he  commanded  tiic 
priests,  the  suns  of  Aaron,  to  oifer  them 
on  tlie  altar  of  the  Lord. 

22  So  they  killed  the  bullocks,  and 
the  priests  received  the  blood,  and  "^ 
^prinkled  it  on  the  altar:  hkevv  ise,  when

that  they  could  not  t slay  all  the  burnt-  ^Lev.

726.      the  is,  luho,  theref  re,  p  gave  them  up 
to  (lesulation,  as  ye  see. 

8  Now,  be  ye  not  q  stiff-necked  as 
your  fathers  were,  but  yield  yourselves 
unto  tlie  Lord,  and  enter  into  his  sanc- 
tuary, which  he  hath  sanctified  for 
ever;  and  serve  the  Lord  your  God, 
tiiat  the  fierceness  of  his  wrath  may  turn

9  For  if  ye  »  turn  again  unto  the 
Lord,  your  brethren  and  your  chil- 
dren slialljind'  compassion  before  them 
that  lead  thejn  captive,  so  that  they

Lord  yur  God  is  gracious  and  nier-

from  you,  if  ye  return  unto  him. 

10  So  the  posts  passed  from  city  to

and  Manasseh,  even  unto  Zebulun  :  but 
they  'laughed  them  to  scorn,  and  mock- 
ed them. 

11  "  Nevertheless  divers  of  Asher, 
and  Manasseh,  and  of  Zebulun,  ^  bum- 
bled themselves,  and  came  to  Jerusa-

12  Also  in  Judah  the  y  hand  of  God 
was  to  give  them  '^  one  h  art,  to  do  the 
commandment  of  the  king  and  of  the 
princes,  by  tiie  »  word  of  the  Lord, 

13  ^  And  there  assembled  at  Jerusa-

14  And  b  they  arose  and  look  away

all  the  altars  for  incense  took  they 
away,  and  cast  them,  into  the  brook 
Kidron. 

15  Then  they  killed  the  passover  on 
the  fourteenth  day  of  the  second  month: 
and  the  priests  and  the  Levites  were 
^  ashamed,  and  sanctified  tliemselvcs,

to the  house  of  the  Lord. 

16  And  they  stood  in  theii'  place,  af- 
ter their  manner,  =  according  to  the  law 
of  Moses  the  man  of  God:  the  priests 
sprinkled  tlie  blood  which  they  received 
■of  the  hand  of  the  Levites. 

17  For  there  ivere  many  in  the  con- 
gregation lh:it  were  not  sanctified ; 
tlierefore  the  Levites  had  the  charge  of 
the  killing  of  the  pas:;overs  for  every 
one  that  was  not  clean,  to  sanctify  them 
unto  tlie  Lord. 

18  For  a  multitude  of  the  people, 
even  many  of  Ephraim,  andManassci), 
Issachar,  and  Zebulun,  had  f  not  clean- 
sed themselves,  yet  did  they  eat  the 
passuver  othei'wise  than  it  was  written  ; 
but  Hezekiah  prayed  for  them,  saying, 
The  good  Lord  pardon  every  one 

19  That  Rpreparetli  his  heart  to  seek 
God,  tiie  Lord  God  of  his  fathers, 
thougli  he  be  not  cleansed  according  to

of  corn,  and  wine,  and  oil :  and  stalls  for 
all  manner  of  beasts,  and  cotes  for  flock?. 

29  Moreover,  he  provided  him  cities, 
and  possessions  of  flocks  and  herds  in 
abundance  ;  for  ■  God  had  given  him  i  1  chr.

30  This  same  Hezekiah  also  stopped  12^7.^1!

MANASSEH  ivas  » twelve  years 
old  when  he  began  to  reign;  and  he 
reigned  fifty  and  five  years  in  Jerusa- 
lem: 

2  But  did  that  ivhich  ivas  evil  in  the 
sight  of  the  Lord,  like  unto  the  ^  abo- 
minations of  the  heathen,  whom  the 
Lord  hud  cast  out  before  the  children 
ol' Israel. 

3  U  For  he  j  built  again  the  high 
places  wliic'n  Hezekiah  his  father  had 
'  broken  down,  and  he  reared  up  altars 
for  ^  Baalim,  and  made  groves,  and 
worshipped  all  the  i^  host  of  heaven,  and 
served  them. 

4  Also  he  built  altars  in  tlie  house  of 
tiie  Lord,  whereof  tlie  Lord  had  said. 
In  Jerusalem  shall  my  name  be  forever. 

5  And  he  built  altars  for  all  tlie  host 
of  heaven  in  tlie  f  two  courts  of  the 
house  of  the  Lord. 

6  And  he  caused  his  e  children  to  pass 
through  the  fire  in  the  valley  of  the  son 
of  Hinnom  ;  also  he  observed  times, 
.and  used  incliantments,  and  used  witch- 
craft, and  dealt  with  a  familiar  spirit, 
and  with  wizards :  he  f  wrought  much 
evil  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord,  to  pro- 
voke him  to  anger. 

7  And  he  set  a  can'ed  image  (the  idol 
which  he  had  made)  in  the  house  of 
God,  of  which  God  had  said  to  David, 
and  to  Solomon  his  son,  ''  In  this  house, 
and  in  Jerusalem,  which  I  have  chosen 
before  all  the  tribes  of  Israel,  will  I  put 
my  name  for  ever: 

8  Neither  will  I  any  more  ■  rem.ove 
the  foot  of  Israel  from  out  of  tlie  land 
which  I  have  appointed  for  your  fathers ; 
so  that  they  will  take  heed  to  do  ^  all 
that  I  have  commanded  them,  accord- 
ing to  the  whole  law,  and  the  statutes, 
and  the  ordinances,  by  the  hand  of 
Moses. 

9  So  Manasseh  made  Judah  and  the 
inhabitants  of  Jerusalem  '  to  err,  and  to 
do  «>  worse  than  the  heathen,  whom  the 
Lord  had  destroyed  before  the  children 
of  Israel. 

10  And  the  Lord  spake  to  Manas- 
seh, and  to  his  people ;  but  they  would 
not  °  hearken. 

11  JlWiierefore  the  Lord  brought  up- 
on them  the  captains  of  the  host  of  °  the 
king  of  Assyria,  which  took  Manasseh 
among  the  p  tliorng,  and  bound  him 
witii  1  fetters,  and  carried  him  to  Ba- 
bylon. 

12  And  when  he  was  'in  affliction  "he 
besought  the  Lord  his  God,  and  hum- 
bled himself  greatly  before  the  God  of 
his  fathers, 

13  And  prayed  unto  him  ;  and  he  was 
5  entreated  of  him,  and  heard  his  suppli- 
cation,  and  brought  him  again  to  Jeru- 
salem into  his  kingdom.  Then  Manas- 
seh ■  knew  that  the  Lord  he  laas  God. 

14  Now,  after  this,  he  built  'a  wall 


Amon^s  ivicied  yeigii . 

without  the  city  of  David,  on  the  west    before 
side  of  "  Gihon,  in  the  valley,  even  to  ^^6^7^^ 
the  entering  in  at  y  the  fish-gate,  and  v•^/-0 
compassed  about  Ophel,  and  raised  it  up  a-  1  Kings 
a  very  great  height,  and  put  captains  ^:^^v 
of  war  in  all  the  fenced  cities  of  Judah.  3/3. 

15  And  he  took  away  the  ^  strange  =  verses 
gods,  and  the  idol  out  of  the  house  of  p/\l^ 
the  Lord,  and  all  the  altars  that  he  had  6,7. 
built  in  the  mount  of  the  house  of  the 
Lord,  and  in  Jerusalem,  and  cast  them 

out  of  the  city. 

16  And  he  repaired  the  altar  of  tlie 
[Lord,  and  sacrificed  thereon  peace-of- 
ferings and  tliank-offerings,  and  ^  com-  ^^V^'^' 
manded  Judah  to  serve  the  Lord  God  22.32. 
of  Israel. 

17  Nevertheless  ^  the  people  did  sa-  *i  Kings 
j  crifice  still  in  the  high  places,  yet  unto  2  kings 
jthe  Lord  their  God  only.  3.  2,  3. 

j  18^  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Ma- 
i  nasseh,  and  his  prayer  unto  his  God,  and 
the  words  of  the  seers  that  spake  to 
him  in  the  <^name  of  tlie  Lord  God  of  jg.  19. ' 
Israel,  belioltl,  they  are  ivritten  in  the 
book  of  the  Kmgs  of  Israel. 

19  His  prayer  also,  and  hov  Gad  was 
entreated  of  him,  and  all  his  sins,  and 
his  trespass,  and  the  places  wherein  he 
built  high  places,  and  set  up  groves  and 
graven  images,  before  he  was  humbled, 
behoUl,  Ihey  are  written  among  the 
sayings  of  the  d  seers.  37^^33'' 

20  ^ So  Manasseh  =  slept  with  his  fa-  eiKiiigs 
thers,  and  they  buried  him  in  his  own  2. 10. 
house  :  and  |{  Amon  his  son  reigned  in  jj^  2^^,'. 
his  stead.  risher, 

21  ^  Amon  wa5  two  and  twenty  years  j^^f/'*' 
old  when  he  began  to  reign ;  and  rei^n-  32,  33',' 
ed  two  years  in  Jerusalem.  Psalm 

22  But  he  did  that  which  ijas  evil  in  "-^s-. 
the  sight  of  the  Lord,  f  as  did  Manas-Zverses 
sell  his  father :  for  Amon  sacrificed  un-  Eze'kiel 
to  all  the  carved  images  which  Manas-  20.  18. 
seh  his  father  had  made,   and  served  ^P^-  ^-  ^• 
tliem; 

23  And  humbled  not  himself  before 
the  Lord,  as  Manasseh  his  father  had 
humbled  himself:  but  Amon  t  trespass-  '♦'  ",^^- 
ed  more  and  more.  pHej.  thi 

24  And    his    servants    g  conspired  guilt, 
against  him,  and  slew  him  in  his  own  2^xkn^' 
house.  3.  13. 

25  ^  But  the  people  of  the  land  slew  ^^  2  Kings 
all  them  that  had  conspired  against  king  ^^'^l{^ 
Amon :  and  the  people  of  the  land  made

to  that  kept  in  Israel,  from  the  days  of 
Samuel  tlie  prophet ;  neither  did  all  the 
kings  oF  Israel  keep  such  a  passover  as 
Josiah  kept,  and  the  priests  and  the  Le- 
vites,  and  all  Judah  and  Israel  tliat 
were  piesent,  and  the  inhabitants  of  Je- 
rusalem. 

19  In  the  eighteenth  year  of  the  reign 
of  Josiah  was  this  passovcr  kept. 

20  Si  After  all  this,  when  Jostah  had 
prepared  the  temple,  <"  Nccho  king  of 
Egypt  came  up  to  fight  against  Carche- 
mish  by  Euphrates:  and  Josiah  went 
out  against  him. 

21  But  he  sent  ambassadors  lo  him, 
saying,  f  What  have  I  to  do  with  thee, 
thou  king  of  Judah  ?  I  come  not  against 
thee  this  day,  but  against  f  the  house 
wherewitli  I  have  war;  f  for  God  com- 
manded me  to  make  haste  :  forbear  thee 
from  vieddling  with  God,  who  is  with 
me,  that  he  destroy  tliee  not. 

22  Nevertheless  Josiah  would  not 
turn  his  face  from  him,  but  ?,  disguised 

^1  Kings  himself  that  he  might  fight  with  him, 
^  ■  ■  and  hearkened  not  unto  the  words  of 
Nccho  from  the  mouth  of  God,  and 
came  to  fight  in  the  valley  of  ''  Megid- 
do. 

23  And  the  archers  shot  at  king  Jo- 
siah ;  and  tlie  king  said  to  his  servants, 
Have  me  away;  for  I  am  sore  f  wound- 
ed. 

24  His  servants,  therefore,  took  him 
out  of  that  chariot,  and  put  him  in  the 
second  chariot  that  he  had  ;  and  they 
brovight  him  to  Jerusalem,  and  he  '  died, 
and  was  buried  in  one  nfihe  sepulchres 
of  his  fathers:  and  all  Judah  and  Jeru- 
salem ^  mourned  for  Josiah. 

25  If  And  1  Jeremiah  lamented  for 
Josiah ;  and  all  the  singing-men  and 
the  singing- women  spake  of  Jnsiali  in 
their  lamentations  to  this  day,  and 
made  them  an  ordinance  in  Israel :  and, 
behold,  they  are  written  in  the  Lamen- 
tations. 

26  Now  the  rest  of  the  acts  of  Josiah, 
and  his  goodness,  according  to  that 
Kvhich  'n'ati  written  in  the  law  of  the 
Lord, 

And  his  deeds,  "'  first  and  last,  be-

1  The  proclaination  of  Cyrus  for  the 
building  of  the  temple.  5  The  people 
provide  for  their  return,  &c. 

NOW,  in  the  first  year  of  » Cyrus 
king  of  Persia  (that  the  word  ^  of  the 
Lord  by  the  mouth  of  Jeremiaii  might 
be  <^  fulfilled)  the  Lord  <^  stirred  up 
the  spirit  of  Cyrus  king  of  Persia,  that 
he  made  « a  proclamation  throughout  all 
his  kingdom,  and  put  it  also  in  writing, 
saying, 

2  Thus  saith  Cyrus  king  of  Persia, 
The  Lord  God  of  heaven  hath  given 
me  all  the  kingdoms  of  the  earth,  and 
he  hath  f  charged  me  to  build  him  an 
house  at  Jerusalem,  which  is  in  Judah. 

3  i  Who  is  there  among  you  of  all  his 
people  ;  his  God  be  i-with  liim,  and  let 
him  go  up  to  Jerusalem,  which  is  in  Ju- 
dah,  and  build  the  house  of  the  Lord 
God  of  Israel,  *  he  is  the  God,  which  is 
^  in  Jerusalem. 

4  And  whosoever  remaineth  in  any 
place  where  he  sojourneth,  let  the  men 
of  his  place  f  help  him  with  silver  and 
with  gold,  and  with  goods,  and  with 
beasts,  besides  the  '  fr^^e-will-offering 
for  the  house  of  God  that  is  in  Jerusa- 
lem. 

5  ^  Then  rose  up  the  ™  chief  of  the 
fathers  of  Jodah  and  Benjamin,  and  th^- 
priests  and  the  Levites,  with  all  thor}- 
whose  "  spirit  God  had  raised  to  go  up 
to  build  tlie  house  of  the  Lord  which 
/sin  Jerusalem.

NOW,  when  the  ^  adversaries  of  Ju- 
2  Kings  dah  ami  Benjamin  heard  that  the  chil- 
dren of  the  captivity  builded  the  temple 
unto  the  ^Lonn  Go'd  of  Israel, 

2  '^  Then  they  came  to  Zerubbabel, 
and  to  the '' chief  of  the  fathers,  and 
said  unto  them,  ^  Let  us  build  with  you ; 
for  f  we  seek  your  God  as  ye  do;  and 
we  do  g  sacrifice  unto  him  since  the  days 

ci  kings  of  hEsar-haddon  king  of  Assur,  which 
brought  us  up  hither. 

3  Bui  Zerubbabel,  and  Jeshua,  and 
the  rest  of  the  chief  of  the  fathers  of 
Israel,  said  unto  them,  Ye  have  notliing

Gcd ;  but  w  e  ourselves  together  will 
build  unto  the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  ' 
as  king  Cyrus,  the  king  of  Persia  hath 
commanded  us. 

4  ^  Then  the  people  of  the  land  ' 
we:ikened  the  hands  cf  the  people  of 
Judali,  and  '"  troubled  them  in  build-

5  And  hired  "  counsellors  against 
them  to  o  frustrate  their  purpose,  all 
the  days  of  Cyrus  king  of  Persia,  even 
until  p  the  reign  cf  Darius  king  oi  Per-

the  beginning'  of  his  reign  wrote  they 
wifo  hiifi  an  accusation  against  the  in- 
habitants of  J',:dah  and  Jerusalem. 

7  ^  And  in  the  days  of  Artaxerxes 
wrote  Bishlam,  Mithredath,  Tabeel, 
and  the  rest  of  their  companions,  unto 
Artaxerxes  king  of  Persia  ;  and  the 
writing  of  the  letter  -was  written  in  the 
Syrian  tongue,  and  interpreted  in  the 
Syrian  tongue.

hath  been  made,  and  it  is  found  that

Kchip.  18  And,  by  the  "good  hand  of  our 

aNeh.  God  upon  us,  they  brought  us  "a  man 
8.7.  and  of  understanding,  of  the  sons  of  Mahli, 
9.4,5.  the  son  of  Levi,  the  son  of  Israel;  and 
with  his  sons  and  his  bre-

19  And  y  Hashabiah,  and  with  him 
Jeshaiah,  of  the  sonsof  Merari,  his  bre-

20  Also  of  the  ^  Ntrthinims,  whom

for  the  service  of  t!ie  Levites,  two  hun- 
dred and  twenty  Nethinims;  allof  tliem 
were  expressed  by  nime. 

21  If  Then  I  proclaimed  »  a  fast  there 
at  the  river  Ahava,  that  we  might  ^  af- 
flict ourselves  before  our  God,  to  seek 
of  him  <=  a  riglit  way  for  us,  and  for  our 
little  ones,  and  for  all  our  substance. 

22  For  I  was  ashamed  to  require  of 
the  king  a  band  of  soldiers  and  horse- 
men to  help  us  against  the  enemy  in 
the  way :  because  we  had  spoken  unto 
tlie  king,  saying,  The  hand  of  our  God 
is  upon  all  them  •'  for  good  that  =  seek 
him;  but  his  pov.er  and  his  f  wrath 
is  against  all  them  that  g  forsake 
Lim. 

23  So  we  fasted,  and  besought  our 
God  for  this  ;  and  he  was  ■>  entreated 
of  us. 

24  ^  Then  I  separated  twelve  of  the 
chief  of  the  priests,  Sherebiah,  Hasha- 
biah, and  ten  of  their  brethren  with 
them, 

25  And  '  weighed  unto  them  the  sil- 
ver, and  the  gold,  and  the  vessels,  ewn 
the  offering  of  the  house  of  our  God, 
which  the  king,  and  his  counsellors,  and 
his  lords,  and  all  Israel  there  present, 
had  !< offered; 

26  I  even  weighed  unto  their  hand 
six  hundred  und  hfty  talents  of  silver, 
and  silver  vessels  an  hundred  talents, 
CHc/of  gold  an  hundred  talents  ; 

27  Also  twenty  basons  of  gold  of  a 
thousand  drams,  and  two  vessels  of  fine 
copper,  precious  as  gold. 

28  And  I  said  unto  them.  Ye  are 
'  holy  unto  t!ie  Lord  ;  ™  the  vessels  are 
lioly  also;  and  l!ie  silver  and  the  gold 
are  a  free-will-oliering  unto  the  Lord 

Nmnbers  God  of  your  fatliers :

God  of  heaven,  the  '  great  and  terrible 
God  that  "'  kiepeth  ..ovenanl  an.,  mer- 
cy p  ■  hem  that  love  him,  and  observe 
Ills  commandments; 

6  n  Let  thine  ear  now  be  attentive, 
and  thine  eyes  open,  that  thou  mayesi 
hear  the  prayer  of  tiiy  servant,  whicli  1 
pray  before  tiiee  now,  day  and  "  night, 
far  the  children  of  Israel  thy  servants, 
p  and  confess  the  sins  of  the  children  of 
Israel,  o.  hicli  we  have  sinned  'i  ajjainst 
thee :  both  I  and  my  father's  house  liave 
sinned. 

7  We  have  dealt  very  corruptl) 
against  thee,  and  have  not  kept  'he 
commandments,  nor  the  statutes,  nor 
the  judgments,  which  thou  commaiid- 
edst  thy  se.-vant  Moses. 

8  '  Remember,  I  beseech  thee,  the 
word  that  tiiou  commandedst  tliy  ser- 
vant  Moses,  saying,  '  If  ye  transgress, 
I  will  scatter  you  abroad  among  the  na- 
tions : 

9  But  ^ye  '  turn  unto  rae,  and  keep 
mycomman(lments,anddoihem;th  ugh 
tli.ere  were  of  you  »  cast  out  unto  the  ut- 
termost part  of  t!ie  heaven,  vet  will  I 
gather  them  from  thence,  and  will  bring 
them  U'lto  the  place  that  I  have  chosen 
to  set  my  name  there. 

10  Now  these  are  thy  «  servants,  and 
thy  people,  whom  thou  hast  redeemed 
by  thy  great  power,  and  by  thy  >  strong 
hand. 

11  O  Lord,  I  beseech  thee,  let  now 
thine  ear  be  attentive  to  the  prayer  of 
thy  servant,  and  to  the  prayer  of  thy 
SL'rvants,  who  desire  to  '■  fear  ihy  name : 
and  a  prosper,  I  pray  thee,  thy  servant 
ihis  day,  and  grant  him  mercy  in  the 
sight  of  this  man:  for  I  was  the  king's 
cup-bearer.

Why  is  thy  countenance  sud,  seeing

CHAP.  IV. 

1  JF/iiie  the  enemies  scoff  Nehemiah  pray- 
elh  to  God  :  7  he  stttcth  a  watch. 
BUT  it  came  to  pass,  that  vvlien  San- 
ballat  heard  that  ^  we  builded  the  wall, 
he  was  wroth,  and  look  great  ^  indig- 
nation, and  '  mocked  the  Jews. 

2  And  he  spake  before  his  brethren, 
and  the  army  of  Samaria,  and  s.^ic^, 
What  do  these  <i  teeble  Jews  I  will  they 
fortify  themselves!  will  they  sacrifice? 
will  they  make  an  end  in  a  day  ?  will 
they  '  revive  the  stones  out  of  the  heaps 
of  the  rubbish  w  hich  are  burnt  ? 

3  Now  '■  Tobiah  the  Ammonite  u-as 
by  him ;  and  he  said,  Even  that  which 
they  build,  if  g  a  fox  go  up,  he  shall 
even  break  down  their  stone  wall. 

4  1'  Hear,  O  our  G'  d,  for  we  are  de- 
spised ;  and  i  turn  their  reproach  upon 
their  own  head,  and  give  them  for  a 
prey  in  the  land  of  captivity  ; 

5  And  k  cover  not  their  iniquity,  and 
let  not  their  sin  be  '  blotted  out  from  be- 
fore thee  :  for  they  have  provoked  thee 
to  anger  before  the  builders. 

6  IT.  So  built  we  the  wall ;  and  all  the 
wall  was  n  joined  together  unto  the  half 
theraof :  for  the  people  had  "  a  mind  to 
work. 

7  li  But  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
Sanballat,  and  Tobiah,  and  the  p  Ara- 
bians, and  the  i  Ammonites,  and  the  ' 
Ashdodiies,  heard  that  the  walls  of  Je- 
rusalem were  made  up,  and  that  the 
breiches  began  to  be  stopped,  then  they 
were  s  very  wroth, 

8  And  conspired  '  all  of  them  togeth- 


er to  come  and  to  fight  against  Jerusa-  ^^^^^^.j. 
lem,  and  to  hinder  it.  .us, 

9  Nevcrlhcles.s  we  made  our  "  prayer  v^v>>^ 
unto  our  God,  and  "  seta  watch  against  u  Psalm 
them  day  and  night  hecause  of  them.    *°M^'t.

and  theie  is  muc^  rubbish,  so  that  we  j^'j.'

11  And  our  adversaries  said.  They  =3^'!;j^- 
.shall  not  know ,  neither  see,  till  ue  come 

in  the  midst  among  them,  and  slay  them 
and  cause  the  work  to  cease. 

12  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  w  lien 

the  Jews  which  ^  dwelt  by  them  camie,  J^^^^'- 
they  said  unto  us  ten  times.  From  all 
places  whence  ye  shall  return  unto  us

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  our  ^|aiah 
enemies  hcr.rd  that  it  was  known  unto^psai'iu

v.rougl.t  in  the  work,  and  the  other  ha!i  ^Rom.

the  house  of  Judah. 

17  They  which  builded  on  the  wall, 
and  they  that  bare  burdens,  with  those 
that  laded,  every  one  with  one  of  his 
hands  wrought  in  the  work,  and  with 
the  other  Itand  held  a  weapon. 

18  For  the  builders,  every  one  had 
his  sword  girded  by  his  side,  and  su 
builded:  and  he  that  sounded  the  trum- 
pet v:as,  by  me, 

19  TI  And  I  said  unto  the  nobles,  and 
to  the  rulers,  and  to  the  rest  of  the 
people.  The  work  is  great  and  large, 
and  we  are  separated  upon  the  wall, 
one  far  from  another : 

20  In  what  place,  therefore,  ye  hear 
the  sound  of  the  trumpet,  resort  ye 
thither  unto  us :  our  God  shall  '  fight 
for  us.

AND  there  wns  "  a  great  cry  of  the 
people,  kik!  of  their  wives,  against  their 
^  brethren  the  Jews. 

2  For  tiiere  were  tliat  said,  We,  our 
sons,  and  our  daiigliters,  are  many; 
therefore  w  •  take  up  <^  cora  ^for  thein, 
that  we  may  eat  and  live. 

3  Sotne  also  tliere  were  that  said.  We 
liave  mortgaged  our  lands,  vinevaids, 
and  houses,  that  we  might  buy  corn, 
because  of  tlie  dearth. 

4  There  were  also  that  said,  We  have 
borrowed  money  for  the  king's  <'  tribute, 
and  that  upon  our  lands  and  vineyards. 

5  Yet  now  four  flesh  is  as  ihe  flesh 
of  our  brethren,  our  children  as  their 
children;  and,  lo,  we  b;ing  into  bon- 
dage our  sons  and  our  daugi)ters  to  be 
servants,  and  same  of  our  daughters  are 
brought  into  s  bondage  already,  neither 
is  it ''  in  our  power  to  redeem  them;  for 
other  men  have  '  our  lands  and  vine- 
yards. 

6  ^  A  nd  I  was  very  ><  angry  when  I 
heard  their  cry,  and  these  words. 

7  Then  I  consulted  witii  myself,  and 

I I  rebuked  tlie  nobles,  and  the  rulers, 
and  said  unto  them,  '"Ye  exact  usury, 
evt-ry  one  of  his  biolher.  And  I  tet  a 
n  great  assembly  against  them. 

8  And  I  said  unio  them,  We,  after 
our  ability,  have  °  redeemed  >  uv  breth- 
ren the  Jews,  luhich  ivere  sold  unto  the 
heathen ;  and  will  ye  even  sell  your 
brethren?  or  shall  they  be  sold  unto  us? 
Then  held  they  their  peace,  and  p  found 
noihing  to  ansxvcr. 

9  Also  I  said,  It  is  i  not  good  that  ye 
do :  ought  ye  not  to  '  w  alk  in  the  fear 
of  our  God,  because  of  the  «  reproach 
of  the  heatlien  our  enemies  ? 

10  I  likewise,  and  my  brethren,  and 
my  servants,  might  exact  of  them  money 
and  corn  ;  I  pray  you,  let  us  leave  oil 
'this  usury. 

Jl  "  Restore,  I  pray  you,  to  them, 
Lev. 6.4.  even  this  day,  their  lands,  their  vine- 
5."w  yards,  their  olive-\'ards,  and  their  houses,

that  ye  i'  exact  of  them, 

12  Tlien  said  they.  We  will  restore 
them,  and  w  ill  yrequirc  nothing  of  then:. , 
so  will  we  do  a^  thou  sayest.  Then  1 
called  the  piiests,  and  took  ^  an  oath  ol 
them,  that  they  should  do  according  V*

now  shall  it  be  reported  to  the  king  ac- 
cording to  thefe  words.  Come  now, 
therefore,  and  let  us  take  counsel  to- 
gether. 

8  Tlien  I  sent  unto  him,  saying.  There 
are  no  sucli  thing's  done  as  thou  saye&t, 

c  Psalm    but  tliou  o  feignest  them  out  of  thine 
52.  2.        own  heart. 

9  For  tliey  all  made  us  r  afraid,  say- 
ing, n  Their  hands  shall  be  weakened 
from  the  work,  that  it  be  not  done. 
Now,  tlierefore,  0  God,  '  strengthen  my 
hands. 

10  Afterward  I  came  unto  the  house 

of  s  Shemaiah,  the  son  of  >■  Delaiah,  the 

sen  of  Mehetabeel,  v.ho  ix-as  °  shut  up  ; 

and  he  said.  Let  us  meet  together  in 

the  >;  hcuFe  of  God,  witliin  tlie  temple, 

Z'}i'- and  let  us  sluit  the  doors  nf  the  temple: 

X  1  Kings  ...  .,,  ,         ,  '^  . 

6.  5.         lor  they  will  come  to  slay  thee  ;  yea,  m 

the  niglit  will  tliey  come  to  slay  thee. 

11  And  I  said,  Should  ysuch  a  man 
as  I  flee  ?  and  z  who  is  there  that,  being 
as  I  ain,  would  g'o  into  the  temple  to 
save  his  life  ?  »  1  will  not  go  in. 

12  And,  lo,  >>  I  perceived  that  God 
had  not  sent  him  ;  but  that  he  <^  pro- 
nounced this  prophecy  against  me  :  for 
Tobiah  and  Sanballat  liad  hired  him. 

13  Therefore  'u.-as  he  hired  that  I 
should  be  ''■  afraid,  and  do  so,  and  sin, 
and  that  they  might  have  viatter  for  an 
evil  report,  that  they  might  reproach 
me. 

14  My  God,  think  thou  upon  Tobiah 
and  Sanballat,  according  to  these  their 
works,  and  on  the  =  proplieless  Noadiah, 
and  the  rest  of  the  prophets,  that  woiild 
have  put  me  in  fear. 

15  ^  So  the  wall  was  •  finished  in  tlie 
twentv  and  fifth  day  of  the  month  Elul, 
E  in  fifty  and  two  days. 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
^  all  our  enemies  heard  thereof,  and  all 
the  heathen  that  vcere  about  us  saw  these 
things,  they  were  '  much  cast  down  in 
their  own  eyes :  for  they  perceived 
that  this  work  vas  wrouglit  of  ^  our 
God. 

"^7  ^\  Moreover,  in  those  days  the  no- 
bles of  Judah  '  .sent  many  letters  unto 
Tobiah,  and  the  letters  of  Tobiah  came 
unto  them. 

18  For  there  ivere  many  in  Judah  sworn 
unto  him,  because  he  •a-as  tlie  son-in-law 
of  Shechaniah,  the  son  of  m  Arab  ;  and 
his  son  Jolianan  had  taken  the  daugh- 
ter of  n  Meshullam,  the  son  of  Bere-

19  Also  they  reported  his  f  good  deeds 
before  nic,  and  uttered  my  words  to 
him.  And  Tobiah  sent  letters  to  put  me 
in  fear.

Lord  their  God  mie  '  fourth  part  of  the

voice  unto  the  Lord  their  God. 

5  Then  the  Levites,  Jeshua,  and 
Kadmiel,  Bani,  Hashabniah,  Sherebiah, 
Hodijah,  Shebaniah.a/ii/Pethahiah,  said. 
Stand  up,  and  ™  bless  the  Lord  your 
God  for  ever  and  ever ;  and  blessed  be 
tliy  n  glorious  name,  which  is  exalted 
above  all  blessing'  and  praise. 

6  Tiiou,  even  thou,  art  Lord  alone  : 
thou  hast  °  made  heai-en,  the  heaven  of

and  all  things  that  are  therein,  the  seas, 
and  all  that  is  therein,  and  thou  q  pre- 
servest  them  all ;  and  the  host  of  heaven 
worsliippeth  thee.  i 

7  Thou  art  the  Lord  the  God,  who 
didst  r  choose  Abram,  and  broug!itest 
him  forth  out  of  «  Ur  of  the  Chaldees, 
and  gavest  him  the  name  of  ^  Abraham :

n.i.anites.the  Hittites,  the  Amorites,  and 
the  Perizzites,  and  the  Jebusites,  and 
the  Girgashites,  to  give  it,  I  say,  to  his 
•'seed,  and  iiast  '^performed  thy  words; 
for  thou  art  ^  righteous  : 

9  And  didst  '^see  the  affliction  of  our 
fathers  in  Egypt,  and  heardest  their 
^  cry  by  the  Red  sea  : 

lb  And  shewedst  « signs  and  wonders 
upon  Pharaoh,  and  on  all  his  servants, 
and  on  all  the  people  of  his  land ;  for 
ihou  knewest  that  they  dealt  '  proudly 
against  them  :  so  didst  thou  get  thee  e  a 
name,  as  it  is  this  day. 

1 1  And  thou  didst  '>  divide  the  sea 
before  them,  so  that  they  went  through 
the  midst  of  the  sea  on  the  dry  land  ; 
and  their  persecutors  thou  ihrewest  into 
the  deeps,  ■  as  a  stone  into  the  mighty 
waters. 

12  Moreover,  thou  ■<  leddest  them  in 
the  day  by  a  cloudy  pillar,  and  in  the 
night  by  a  pillar  of  fire  to  give  them 
ligiit  in  the  way  wherein  they  should  go. 

13  Thou  earnest  down  also  upon 
'  mount  Sinai,  and  spakcst  with  them 
'^  from  heaven,  and  gavest  them  "  right 
judgments  and  true  laws,  good  statutes 
and  commandments : 

14  And  madest  known  unto  them  thy 
°  hoty  sabbath,  and  commandedst  them 
precepts,  statutes,  and  laws,  by  the  hand 
of  I\Ioses  thy  servant : 

15  And  gavest  them  p  hre«d  from

by  the  '  stairs  of  the  city  of  David,  at 
the  p^oin.::!;  up  of  the  wall,  above  the 
house  of  David,  even  unto  the  "^  water-

38  And  the  oUier  company  of  them 
thatga've^.han'ks  v/ent  over  against  them, 
and  I  after  them,  and  the  half  of  the 
people  upon  the  wall,  from  beyond  the 
tower  of  the  "  furnaces  even  unto  the 
broad  wall ; 

39  And  from  above  the  °  gate  of

above  the  fish-gate,  and  the  tower  of 
Hananee!,  and  the  tower  of  Meah,  even

still  in  the  ^i  prison-gate. 

40  So  stood  the  two  companies  ofthera 
that  gave  thanks  in  the  house  of  God, 
and  I,  and  the  half  of  the  rulers  with  me  : 

41  And  the  priests  ;  Eliakim,  Maa-

the  singers  f  sang  loud,  with  Jezrahiah 
their  overseer. 

43  Also  that  day  tliey  offered  r  great 
sacrifices,  and  « reioiced  ;  for  "  God  hnd 
made  them  rejoice  with  great  joy  :  the 
wives  also  and  the  children  rejoiced ; 
so  that  the  joy  of  Jerusalem  was  Iieard 
even  afar  oif. 

44  5i  And  at  that  time  were  some  ap- 
pointed over  flie  «  chambers  for  t!ie

portions  of  the  law  for  the  priests  and

45  And  both  the  singers  and  the  por-

ON  »that  day  they  read  in  the  book  "  '^^P' 
of  Moses  in  the  audience  of  the  people  ;  ver.'4"f. 
and  therein  was  found  ''  written,  that  the  b  Deut.

'  allied  unto  Tobiah  :  *  ver.  9. 

5  And  he  had  prepared  for  him  a  great  ^^'j

the  offerings  of  the  priests.

for  Tobi.ah,  in  preparing  him  a  chamber

therein,  which  brought  fish,  and  g  all

Esther  made  queen- 

Before  whom  Mordecai  (when  her  father  and 
^"?8^^^  mother  were  dead)  took  for  his  own  k 
\y>^^   daugliter. 

8  ^[  So  it  came  to  pass,  when  tlie 
king's  commandment  and  his  decree 
was  heard,  and  when  many  maidens 
were  gathered  together  unto  Sliushan 
the  palace,  to  the  custody  of  Hegai,  that 
Esther  was  brought  also  unto  the  king's 
house,  to  tiie  custody  of  Hegai  keeper 
of  the  women. 

9  And  the  maiden  pleased  him,  and 
she  obtained  '  kindness  of  him  ;  and  he 
speedily  gave  her  her  things  for  purifica- 
tion, with  such  things  as  belonged  to 
her,  and  seven  maidens,  v-'hich  were 
meet  to  be  given  her  out  of  the  king's 

Proverbs  house:  and  he  preferred  her  and  her 
16.7.  maids  unto  ihe  best  place  of  the  house 
"^'•'•''- of  the  women. 

10  Esther  had  not  shewed  her  people, 
nor  her  kindred:  for  Mirdecai  had  "' 
charged  her,  that  she  should  not  shew 
it. 

1 1  And  Mordecai  walked  f  every  day 
before  the  court  of  the  women's  house, 
to  t  know  how  Esther  did,  and  what 
should  become  of  her. 

V2  \  Now,  when  f  eveiy  maid's  turn 
knoiv-the  was  c  me  to  go  in  to  king  Ahasuerus, 
peace,  iifter  i  iiat  she  had  been  ■>  twelve  months,

maids  (for  so  svere  the  days  of  their  purihca- 
Lions  accomplished,  to  Kit,  six  months 
with  oil  of  myr.h,  and  six  months  with 
sweet  odours,  and  with  other  things  for 
the  j.urif\ing  of  the  women) 

13  Then  thus  came  every  maiden  un- 
to the  king;  whatsoever  slie  desired 
was  given  her,  to  go  with  her  out  of  the 
hous  of  the  women  unto  the  king's 
house. 

14  In  the  evening  she  went,  and  on 
the  mur.ow  she  returned  into  the  second 
h'lijse  of  ihe  women,  to  t!ie  custody  of 
Shaa->iigazt!je  king's  ch:imoerlain,uliich

the  ki  g  no  more,  except  the  king  de-

by  i.ame. 

15  li  Now,  when  the  °turn  of  Esther, 
the  daugiiter  of  Abihail,  the  uncle  of 
M  irdecai  (who  had  taken  her  for  his

Hegai  the  king^s  chamberlain,  the  keep-

her obtained  favour  in  the  sight  of  all

Esther,  obtaining  the  king's  favour,  invit- 
etL  the  king  and  Haiium  to  a  banquet. 
NOW  it  came  to  pass  on  the  ^tlurcl 
day,  that  Esther  put  on  iier  ^  royal  appa- 
rel, and  stood  in  the  <^  inner  court  ot'  the 
king's  house,  over  ayainsl  the  icing's 
house  :  and  the  king  sat  upon  his  royal 
throne  in  the  royal  house,  over  against 
the  gate  of  the  house. 

2  And  it  was  so,  when  the  king  saw 
Esther  the  queen  standing  in  the  court, 
that  she  <*  obtained  favour  in  his  sight : 
and  the  king  =  held  out  to  Esther  tlie 
golden  sceptre  that  was  in  his  hand.  So 
Esther  drew  near,  and  touched  the  Hop 
of  the  sceptre. 

3  then  said  the  king  unto  her,  g  What 
wilt  thou,  queen  Esther  \  and  what  is 
thy  request  ]  it  shall  be  even  given  thee 
to  the  h  half  of  the  kingdom. 

4  And  Esther  ■  answered,  If  it  seevi 
good  unto  the  king,  let  the  king  and  Ha- 
man  come  this  day  unto  the  ''  banquet 
that  I  have  prepared  for  him. 

5  Then  the  king  said,  Cause  Haman 
to  make  haste,  that  he  may  do  as  Esther 
hath  said.  So  the  king  and  Haman 
came  to  the  banquet  that  Esther  had 
prepared. 

6  %  And  the  king  said  unto  Esther  at 
the  banquet  of  wine,  What  is  thy  peti- 
tion ?  and  I  it  shall  be  granted  thee  :  and 
what  w  thy  request  \  even  to  the  half  of 
the  kingdom  it  shall  be  performed. 

7  Then  answered  Esther,  and  said,  ^ 
My  petition  and  my  request  is ; 

8  If -I  have  found  favour  in  the  sight 
of  the  king,  and  if  it  please  the  king  to 
grant  my  petition,  and  to  pertbrm  my 
request,  let  the  king  and  Haman  come 
to  the  banquet  that  1  shall  prepare  for 
them,  and  I  will  do  to-morrow  as  the 
king  hath  said. 

9  1[  Then  went  Haman  forth  that  day 
n  joyful,  and  with  a  glad  heart :  but 
when  Haman  saw  Mordecai  in  the 
king's  gate,  that  he  °  stood  not  up,  nor 
moved  for  liim,  he  was  p  full  of  indigna- 
tion against  Mordecai. 

10  Nevertheless  Haman  q  refrained 
himself:  and  when  he  came  home  he 
sent  and  called  for  his  friends,  and  '  Ze- 
resh  his  wife. 

11  And  Haman  told  them  of  the  «  glo- 
ry of  his  riches,  and  the  '  multitude  of 
his  children,  and  all  the  things  wherein 
the  king  had  "promoted  him,  and  how 
he  had  advanced  him  above  the  princes 
and  servants  of  the  king. 

12  Haman  said  moreover,  Yea,  Esther 
the  queen  did  let  no  man  come  in  with 
the  king  unto  tlie  banquet  that  siie  had 
piepared  but  myseh ;  and  >=  to-morrow 
am  I  invited  unto  her  also  with  the  kmj^. 

13  Yet  Vail  tliis  avallelii  me  nothing, 
so  longas  I  see  Mordecai  the  jew  sitting 
at  the  kin,.^'s  gate. 

14  ^  Then  said  ^  Zeresh  his  wife,  and 


all  >his  friends,  unto  him.  Let  ^a  gal- 
lows be  made  of  fifty  cubits  high,  and 
^  to-morrow  speak  ihou  unto  the  king 
that  Mordecai  may  be  hanged  thereon  : 
'Uhen  go  thou  in  merrily  with  the  king 
unto  ttie  banquet.  And  the  thing  pleasc:*! 
Haman  ;  and  he  =  caused  the  gallo\\s 
to  be  made.

1  Mordecai's  good  service  rewarded :  10 

Haman,  his  adversary,  cominanded  to 

do  him  honour,  ij'c. 
ON  3  that  night  could  not  the  king  >> 
sleep  ;  and  he  commanded  to  bring  the 
book,  of  records  of  the  Chronicles  ;  and 
they  were  read  before  the  king. 

2  And  it  was  <'  found  written,  That 
Mordecai  had  told  of  Bigthana  andTe- 
resii,  two  of  the  king's  chamberlains, 
the  keepers  of  tlie  door,  who  sought  ^ 
to  lay  hand  on  the  king  Ahasuerus. 

3  And  the  king  said,  ■=  AVhat  honour 
and  dignity  hath  been  done  to  Mordecai 
for  this  .'  Then  said  the  king's  servants 
that  ministered  unto  him.  There  is  no- 
thing done  for  him. 

4  And  the  king  said,  Who  is  in  the 
court  ?  (Now  Haman  was  come  into  the 
outward  court  of  the  king's  house,  to 
speak  unto  the  king  ^to  hang  Mordecai 
on  the  gallows  that  he  had  prepai-ed  lor 
him.) 

5  And  the  king's  servants  said  unto 
him.  Behold,  Haman  standeth  in  the 
court.  And  the  king  said.  Let  him 
come  in. 

6  So  Haman  came  in.  And  the  king 
said  unto  him,  What  shall  be  done  unto 
the  man  f  whom  the  kingidelighteth  to 
honoui"  i  (Now  Haman  thought  in  his 
heart.  To  whom  would  the  king  deliglit 
to  do  honour  more  than  to  myself .') 

7  And  Haman  answered  the  king, 
For  the  man  g  whom  the  king  delighteth 
to  iionour, 

8  Let  the  royal  apparel  be  brought 
which  the  king  useth  to  wear,  and  the 
i>  horse  that  the  king  rldeth  upon,  and 
the  crown  royal  which  is  set  upon  his 
head: 

9  And  let  this  apparel  and  horse  be 
delivered  to  the  hand  of  one  of  the  king's 
most  noble  princes,  that  they  may  array 
the  man  vithal  whom  the  king  delight- 
eth to  honour,  and  '  bring  him  on  horse- 
back through  the  street  of  the  city,  and 
proclaim  before  him.  Thus  sliali  it  be 
done  to  the  man  whom  the  king  de- 
lighteth to  honour. 

10  Then  the  king  said  to  Haman, 
Make  haste,  and  take  the  apparel,  and 
the  horse,  as  thou  hast  said,  and  do  even 
so  to  Mordecai  the  Jew  tliat  sitteth  at 
the  king's  gate  :  let  nothing  fail  of  all 
that  tliou  hust  spoken. 

11  Then  took  Haman  the  apparel,  and 
the  horse,  and  ^  arrayed  Jvlordecai,  aid

Before  street  of  the  city,  and  proclaimed  before 
*^*y"^^  liim,  Thus  shall  it  be  done  unto  the  man 
whom  the  king  delighteth  to  honour. 

12  1[  And  Mordecai  1  canne  agiun  to 
the  king's  gate  :  bat  Haman  hasted  to 
ill's  house  mourning,  and  having  his  head 
■"  covered. 

13  And  Haman  told  Zeresh  his  wife 
and  all  his  friends  "every  thing  tliathad 
befallen  him.  Then  said  his  wise  men 
and  Zeresh  iiis  wife  unto  him,  If  Mor- 
decai  be  of  the  seed  of  the  Jews,  before 
whon>  tluiu  hast  begun  to  fall,  thou  shalt 
"not  irt-evnil  against  him,  but  shalt  surely 
p  fall  before  him. 

14  And  while  they  ii-ere  yet  talking 
with  him  came  the  king's  chamberlains, 
and  hasted  to  bring  Haman  unto  the 
banquet  tiiat  Esther  had  q  prepared. 

CHAP.  VII. 

1  Esther  s'jpih  for  her  cnvn  life  and  the 
life  of  her  people-    7  Haman  is  hanged 
on  his  ou-n  gallovs. 
SO  tlie  king  and  Haman  came  to  ban- 
quet with  Esther  the  queen. 

2  And  the  king  said  again  unto  Est- 
her, on  the  -1  second  day,  at  the  banquet 
of  wine,  What  is  thy  petition,  queen 
Esther  ?  and  it  shall  be  granted  thee :  and 
what  is  tl'.y  request  ?  and  it  shall  be  per- 
formed, even  to  the  half  of  the  kingdom. 

3  Then  Esther  the  queen  answered 
and  said.  If  I  have  found  favour  in  thy 
sigLt,  O  king,  and  if  it  please  the  king, 
let  ^  my  life  be  given  me  at  my  petition, 
and  •-■  my  people  at  my  request : 

4  For  we  are  ''  sold,  I  and  my  people, 
to  be  destrojed,  to  be  slain,  and  to  pe- 
rish :  but  if  we  had  been  sold  for  ^  bond- 
men and  bond-women  I  had  held  my 
tongue,  although  the  enemy  could  not'f 
countervail  the  king's  damage. 

5  %  Then  the  king  Ahasuerus  answer^ 
ed  and  said  unto  Esther  the  queen.  Who 
is  he,  and  where  is  he,  that  durst  pre- 
sume in  his  heart  to  do  so  ? 

6  And  Esther  said.  The  g  adversary 
and  enemy  is  this  ■>>  wicked  Haman. 
Then  Haman  was  '  afraid  before  the 
king  and  tlie  queen. 

7  II  And  the  king,  arising  from  the 
banquet  of  wine  in  his  ^  wrath,  ue/i^into 
the  palace-garden  :  and  Haman  '  stood 
up  to  make  request  for  his  life  to  Esther 
the  queen  ;  for  he  saw  thattliere  was  evil 
">  determined  against  him  by  the  king. 

8  Then  the  king  returned  out  of  the 
palace-garden  into  the  place  of  the  ban- 
quet of  wine  ;  and  Haman  was  "  fallen 
upon  the  bed  whereon  Esther  was.  Then 
said  the  king.  Will  he  force  the  queen 
also  before  me  in  the  house  ?  As  the 
word  went  out  of  the  king's  mouth  they 
"covered  Haman's  face. 

9  And  Harbonah,  one  of  the  cham- 
berlains, ?  .said  before  the  king,  Bi.-h'  Id 
also  the  i  gallows  fifty  cubits  high, 
which  Haman  had  made  for  Mordecai, 
who  had  spoken    good   for  the   ki;iir,

the  king  said,  '  Hang  him  thereon.  ^^s'^o^^ 

10  So  they  «  hanged  Haman  on  the  ^.^-vO 
I  gallows  that  he  'had  prepared  forMor-  rProv.

ON  » that  day  did  the  king  Ahasuc-  .i  ver.  i3.

2  And  the  king  took  off  <i  his  ring,  c'job' 
which  he  had  taken  from  Haman,  and  27.  le. 
gave  it  unto  Mordecai.  And  Esther  set  ^^°22_

3  U  And  Esther  spake  yet  again  be-  3. 10.

and  besought  him  with  tears  to  put  away 
the   f  mischief  of  Haman  the  Agagite,  ^pfov. 
and  bis  device  that    he    had   devised  8. 12- 
against  the  Jews. 

4  Then  the  king  ?  held  cut  the  gold- 
en sceptre  toward  Esther.    So  Estlier  *•  2- 
arose,  and  stood  before  the  king, 

5  And  said.  If  it  please  the  king,  and 
if  I  have  found  favour  in  his  sight,  and 
the  thing  seem  right  before  the  king, 
and  I  be  i'  pleasing  in  his  eyes,  let  it  be  /,  prov.

Agagife,  which  he  wrote  to  destroy  the 
Jews  which  are  in  all  the  king's  provinces.

unto  Esther  the  queen,  and  to  Mordecai  find  my

Jews  wliich  were  in  every  city  togatlier

their  life,  to  destroy,  to  slay,  and  to

of  king  Ahasuerus,  namely,  upon  tlie 
thirteenth  day  of  the  twelfth  month, 
which  is  the  month  Adar. 

13  The  copy  of  tlie  writing,  for  a

1  The  yev:s  slay  their  ene-nues,  viith  the 
ten  sons  of  Hainan.    20  The  txvo  days 
of  Purlin  viade  festival. 
NOW,  in  tiie  twelfth  month  (that 
is  the  month  ^  Adar)  on  the  thirteenth 
day  of  the  same,  when  the  king's  com- 
mandment and  his  decree  drew  near  to 
be  put  in  execution,  in  the  day  that  the 
enemies  of  the  Jews  ''  hoped  to  have 
power  over  them  (though  it  was  "^  turn- 
ed to  the  contrary,  that  the  Jews  had 
■■•rule  over  them  that  hated  them :) 

2  The  Jews  >=  gathered  themseives 
together  in  their  cities,  throughout  all 
the  provinces  of  the  king  Ahasuerus,  to 
lay  hand  on  such  as  'sought  their  hurt ; 
•and  no  man  could  withstand  them  :  for 
the  6  fear  of  them  fell  upon  all  people. 

3  And  all  the  rulers  of  the  provinces, 
and  the  lieutenants,  and  the  deputies, 
and  officers  of  tha  king,  helped  the 
Jews  ;  because  the  ^  fear  of  Mordecai 
fell  upon  them; 

4  For  Mordecai  n-as  great  in  the  king's 
house,  and  his  fame  went  out  through- 
out all  the  provinces :  for  this  man  Mor- 
dscai  was.ed  ■  greater  and  greater. 


5  Thus  the  Jews  ^  smote   all  their  CHRIST 
cnemiL'S  with  the  stroke  of  the  sword,  ^IfLi

12  ^1  And  the  king  said  "unto  Esther  Psalm

destroyed  five  hundred  men  in  Shushan  34.  23.*

which  are  in  Shushan  to  do  to-moiTow

and  let  <>  Haman's  ten  sons  be  hanged  02  Sam. 

upon  the  gallows.  ^j^"  j'  jj 

14  And  the  king  commanded  it  so  to  verse  lol

Sinishan  ;    and   they  hanged  Haman's  gg]  l[  i?JJ^ 
ten  sons.  109.8. 

15  For  the  Jews  that  were  in  Shushan 
gathered  themselves  together  on  the 
fourteenth  day  also  of  the  month  Adar, 
and  slew  three  himdred  men  at  Shu- 
shan ;  but  on  the  prey  they  laid  not  their

16  But  the  r  other  Jews  that  ivere  in  p  Hebf.

together,  and  stood  for  their  lives,  and 

had  rest  i'rom  their  enemies,  and  slew 
of  their  foes  seventy  and  five  thousand

prey) 

17  On  the  1  thirteenth  <lay  of  the?P=3'«

23  And  tlie  Jews  undertook  to  do  as 
they  had  y  begun,  and  as  Mordecai  had 
written  unto  them. 

24  Because  Haman,  the  son  of  Ham-

the  Jews,  had  devised  against  the  Jews 
to  destroy  lliem,  and  had  cast  ||  Pur 
(that  is  the  lot)  to  consume  them,  and 
'o  destroy  them  :

against  the  Jews,  siiould  ^^  return  upon 
his  own  head,  and  lliat  he  and  his  sons 
should  be  hanged  on  thc-gallows. 

2G  V/herefore  they  called  these  days

of  that  which  they  iiad  seen  concerning

tliem,  and  upon  their  seed,  and  upon 
all  such  as  ''  joined  themselves  unto 
them,  so  as  it  should  not  fail,  that  they 
would  keep  these  two  days,  according

AGAIN  there  was  a  day  wlien  the 
sons  of  God  came  to  »  present  tliem- 
selves  before  the  Lord,  and  Satan  came 
also  amopg  ihem  to^  present  himself  be- 
fore the  Lord. 

2  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Satan, 
From  whence  comes",  thou  ;  And  Satan 
answered  Uie  Lord,  and  said,  From 
going  to  and  fro  in  the  earth,  and  from 
^  walking  up  and  down  in  it. 

3  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Satan, 
Hast  thoQ  considered  my  servant  Job, 
that  there  is  none  like  him  in  the  earth, 
a  perfect  and  an  upright  man,  one  that 
feareth  God,  ahd  esclieweth  evil  ?  and 
still  he  <:  holdeth  fast  his  integrity,  al- 
though <'  thou  movedst  me  against  him 
to  destroy  him  =  without  cause. 

4  And  Sstan  answered  the  Lord,  and 
said.  Skin  for  skin,  yea,  f  a!!  that  a  man 
hath  will  he  give  forjiis  life  : 

5  But  put  forth  thine  hand  now,  and 
touch  his  ?  bone  and  his  flesh,  and  he 
will  curse  thee  to  thy  face. 

6  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Satan,  Be- 
hold, he  is  m  tliine  hand  ;  but  '^  save  his 
hfe. 

7  ^  So  went  Satan  forth  from  the  pre- 
sence of  the  Lord,  and  smote  Job  vith 
'  sore  boils,  from  the  ^  sole  of  his  foot 
unto  his  crown. 

8  And  he  took  him  '  a  potsherd  to 
scrape  himself  withal ;  and  he  ™  sat 
down  among  n  the  ashes. 

9  %  Then  said  °  his  wife  unto  him. 
Dost  thou  p  still  retain  thine  integrity  ? 
curse  God,  and  die. 

10  But  he  said  Q  unto  her,  Thou 
speakcst  as  one  of  the  '  foolish  women 
speaketh.  Vv'hat!  shall  we  receive  ^ 
good  at  tlie  hand  of  Gcd,  and  shall  W', 
not  receive  '  evil  ?  In  all  this  did  not  Job 
sin  with  his  "  lips. 

11^  Now,  when  Job's  >=  three  friends 
heard  of  all  this  evil  that  was  come  upon 
him,  they  came  every  one  from  his  own 
y  place  ;  Elipiikz  the  ^  Temanite,  and 
Eiklad  the  =»  Shuhite,  and  Zophar  the 
*>  Naamatiiite  :  for  they  had  made  an

with  him,  and  to  ^  comfort  him. 

12  And  \\  hen  they  lifted  up  their  eyes 
afar  off,  and  d  knew  him  not,  they  lifter^ 
up  their  voice  and  wept  ;  and  they  rent 
every  one  his  mantle,  and  sprinkled  dust 
upon  their  heads  toward  heaven. 

13  So  they  sat  down  with  him  upon 
the  ground  seven  days  and  seven  nights, 
and  «  none  spake  a  word  unto  him  :  for 
they  saw  that  ^  his  grief  was  very  great.

Man  inav  search  deep  into   nature,  but

SURELY  ihere  is  a  vein  for  the  sil-

4  The  flood  breaketh  out  from  the  in- 
habitant ;  even  the  "waters  forgotten  of 
the  foot:  they  are  dried  up,  they  are 
gone  away  from  men. 

5  As  for  the  earth,  out  of  it  cometh  ■= 
bread ;  and  under  it  is  turned  up  as  it 
were  fire. 

6  The  stones  of  it  are  the  place  of  ^ 
sapphires ;  and  it  hath  dust  of  gold. 

7  There  is  z  a  path  which  no  fowl 
knoweth,  and  which  the  vulture's  eje 
halh  not  seen. 

8  The  lion's  whelps  have  not  trodden 
it,  nor  the  fierce  lion  passed  by  it. 

9  He  pulteth  forth  his  hand  upon  ti>.e

the  roots. 

10  He  hcutteth  out  rivers  among  the

ous Uiing. 

11  He  bindeth  the  floods  from  over- 
flowing, and  the  thing  that  »*  ^  hid 
brmgelh  he  forth  to  light. 

12  But  'where  shall  wisdom  be  found! 
and  here  is  the  ™  place  of  understand-

16  It  cannot  be  valued  with  the  gold

the  sapphire. 

17  The  gold  and  the  crystal  cannot 
equal  it ;  and  the  exchange  of  it  shall 
not  be  for  'jewels  of  fine  gold.

1  Elihu  offereth  himself  instead  of  God 
to  reason  with  Job  :  cJ  he  excuseth  God 
Jroin  gi'oing  an  account  of  his  ways- 
WHEREFORE,   Job,  I  pray  thee, 

hear  my  speeches,  and  hearken  ^  to  all 

my  words. 

2  Behold,  now  I  have  ^  opened  my 
mouth,  my  tongue  hath  spoken  in  my 
mouth. 

3  My  words  shall  be  r/the  <=  upright- 
ness of  my  heart ;  and  my  lips  shall  ut- 
ter knowledge  clearl)'. 

4  The  ^  Spirit  of  God  hath  made  me, 
and  the  breath  of  the  Almighty  hath 
given  me  life. 

5  If  thou  canst  answer  me,  set  thy 
words  in  order  before  me,  stand  up ; 

6  Behold,  I  ain  according  to  thy  wish 
«^  in  God's  stead ;  I  also  am  formed  out 
of  the  clay. 

7  Behold,  f  my  terror  shall  not  make 
thee  afraid,  neither  sliall  my  hand  be 
heavy  upon  thee. 

8  Surely  thou  hast  spoken  in  mine  ? 
hearing,  and  I  have  heard  the  voice  of 
thy  words,  saying, 

9  I  am  i>  clean  without  transgression, 
I  avi  '  innocent ;  neither  is  there  ini- 
quity in  me. 

10  Behold,  he  ^  findeth  occasions  a- 
gainst  me,  he  '  counteth  me  for  his  ene- 
my; 

11  He  putteth  ™  my  feet  in  the  stocks, 
he  "  marketk  all  my  paths. 

12  Behold,  "  //jthis  thou  art  not  just;

No  comparison  tsith  God. 


Before    and  gaive  ear  >>  unto  me  ye  that  liuve 
CHRIST  knowledge : 

cir.  1520.      2  for  the  -^  ear  trleth  words,  as  the 
mouth  tasteth  meat. 

4  Let  us  choose  to  us  judgment :  let  us 
know  among  ourselves  what  is  <*  guod. 

5  For  Job  hath  «  said,  I  am  righte- 
ousj  and  God  hath  taken  away  my 
judgment. 

6  Should  f  I  Ue  against  my  right? 
my  wound  is  incurahle  s  without  trans- 
gression. 

7  What  man  is  '^like  Job,  luho  drink- 
eth  up  scorning  ■  hke  water  ; 

8  Which  k  goeth  in  company  with  the 
*  Psalm  workers  of  iniquity,  and  walketh  with 
*"•  "•      wicked  men  ? 

9  For  he  hath  '  said.  It  profiteth  a 
man  ^  nothing  that  he  should  delight 
himself  with  God. 

10  Therefore  hearken  unto  me,  ye 
men  of  understanding  :  Far  be  it  from 
God  that  he  should  do  »  wickedness,  and 

fro7n  the  Almighty  that  he  should  com- 
mit iniquity. 

11  For  the  work  of  a  man  shall  he  ° 
render  unto  him,  and  cause  every  man 
to  p  Knd  according  to  his  ways. 

12  Yea,  surely  God  will  not  do  wick- 
edly, neither  will  the  Almighty  i  per- 
vert judgment. 

13  Who  hath  '  given  him  a  charge 
over  the  earth  ?  or  who  hath  *  disposed 
the  whole  world ! 

14  If  he  set  his  heart  upon  man,  if  he 
t  gather  unto  himself  his  spirit  and  his 
breath, 

15  All  flesh  shall  perish  together,  and 
man  shall  turn  again  unto  "  dust. 

16  It  now  thou  hast  ^  understanding, 
hear  this ;  hearken  to  the  voice  of  my 
words : 

17  Shall  even  he  that  hateth  right  y 
govern  !  and  wilt  thou  condemn  him 
that  is  most  just  i 

18  Is  it  Jit  to  say  to  a  king.  Thou  art 
z  wicked .'  and  to  princes,  Te  are  un- 
godly ? 

19  How  much  less  to  him  that  »ac- 
ceptetli  not  the  persons  of  princes,  nor 
regardeth  the  rich  more  than  the  poor? 
for  they  all  are  the  work  of  his  hands. 

20  i"  In  a  moment  shall  they  die,  and 
the  people  shall  be  troubled  « at  mid- 
night,  and  pass  away  :  and  the  mighty 

dDiaiel  ^hall  be  taken  away  <^  without  hand.

21  For  «  his  eyes  are  upon  the  ways 
of  man,  and  he  seeth  all  his  goings. 

22  There  is  *"  no  darkness,  n'jr  sha- 
dow of  death,  where  the  workers  of  in- 
iquity may  hide  themselves. 

23  For  he  will  not  lay  upon  man  s 
more  than  right,  that  he  should  enter 
into  judgment  with  God. 

24  He  shall  h  break  in  pieces  mighty 
men  without  number,  and  ■  set  oihers 
in  their  stead. 

25  Therefore  he  ^  knoweth  their 
works,  and  he  overturneth  them  in  the 
night,  ffo  that  they  are  '  destroyed. 


26  He  striketh  them  as  wicked  men 
in  the  ^i  open  sight  of  others  ; 

27  Because  they  °  turned  back  from 
him,  and  would  not  consider  any  of  hi? 
ways. 

28  So  that  they  c.iuse  the  °  crj'  of  the 
poor  to  come  unto  him,  and  p  he  hear- 

I  eth  the  cry  of  the  afflicted. 

29  When  he  giveth  'i  quietness,  wh-- 
then  can  make  trouble  ?  and  wiien  l.t 
hideth  his  face,  who  then  can  behold 
him  ]  whether  it  be  done  against  a  na- 
tion, or  against  a  man  only  : 

30  That  the  liypocrite  reign  not,  lest 
the  people  be  ^  ensnared. 

31  Surely  it  is  meet  to  be  said  unlf 
God,  I  have  «  borne  chastisement,  1  will 
f  not  oflend  any  m.ore  .■ 

32  That  vihich  "  I  see  not,  teach  thou 
me  ;  if  1  have  done  iniquity,  1  will  do  >; 
no  rnnre. 

33  Should  it  be  according  to  thy  mind  ? 
he  will  recompense  it,  whether  thou  re- 
fuse, or  whether  thou  choose  ;  and  not 
I :  therefore  speak  what  thou  knowest. 

34  Let  men  of  understanding  tell  me, 
and  let  a  wise  man  hearken  unto  me. 

35  Job  hath  spoken  without  knov>-- 
ledge,  and  his  words  luere  without  wis- 
dom. 

36  II  My  desire  is,  that  Job  may  be 
t'ied  unto  the  end,  because  of  A/.r  an- 
swers for  wicked  men. 

0,7  For  he  addeth  rebellion  unto  his 
sin  ;  he  y  clappeth  his  hands  among  us. 
and  multiplieth  his  words  against  God. 

CHAP.  XXXV. 

1  Comparison  is  not  to  be  made  ivith  God. 
9  Many  cry  to  God  in  their  afflictions, 
but  are  not  heard  for  Kant  of  faith. 
ELIHU  spake  moreover,  and  said, 

2  »  Thinkest  thou  this  to  be  right, 
that  thou  saidst,  My  righteousness  is  >> 
more  than  God's  ? 

3  For  thou  saidst,  "=  What  advantage 
will  it  be  unto  thee  ?  a7id.  What  proht 
shall  I  have  if  I  be  cleansed  from  my  sin ' 

4  I  w  ill  ■*  answer  thee,  and  thy  com- 
panions with  thee. 

5  =  Look  unto  the  heavens,  and  see  ; 
and  beiiold  the  clouds,  ivhich  >  are  high- 
er than  thou. 

6  If  thou  sinnest,  wliat  doest  thou  g 
against  him  ?  or  if  thy  transgressions  be 
multipUed,  what  doest  thou  unto  him  ? 

7  If  thou  be  righteous,  what  ''  gives! 
thou  him  ?  or  what  ■  receiveth  he  of 
thine  hand  ? 

8  Thy  wickedness  may  ^  hurt  a  man 
as  tiiuu  art,  and  thy  rigjueousness  raay 
1  prnft  the  son  of  man. 

9  By  reason  of  the  multitude  of  op- 
pressions they  make  the  oppressed  to  "■ 
cry ;  they  cry  out  by  reason  of  the  arm 
of  the  mighty  :

1  Elihu  shev.'ctli  hovi  God  is  just  in  his 
Koays  ;  16  how  yob's  sins  hinder  God's 
blessings.     24  Of'  God's  great  worka. 
ELIHU  also  proceeded  and  said, 
2  Sufier  me  a  httle,  and  I  will  shew 

tiiee  that  I  have  yet  to  speak  on  »  God's 

,behalf 

J  I  will  fetch  my  knowledge  from  '' 

afar  and  will  ■=  ascribe  righteousness  to 

my  Maker. 

4  For  truly  my  words  shall  not  be  '^ 
false :  he  that  is  perfect  in  knowledge  is 
^  with  thee. 

5  Behold,  God  is  mighty,  f  and  de- 
spiseth  not  any  :  he  is  mighty  in  strength 
and  wisdom. 

6  He  &  preserveth  not  the  life  of  the 
wicked  :  but  giveth  '■  right  to  the  poor. 

7  He  withdraweth  not  '  iiis  eyes  from 
the  rigliteous  :  but  with  kings  are  they 
on  the  ■'■  throne  ;  yea,  he  doth  establish 
them  for  ever,  and  they  are  exalted. 

8  And  if  they  be  bound  in  i  fetters, 
and  be  holden  in  cords  of  affliction  ; 

9  Then  he  sheweth  them  their  "^ 
work,  and  th.eir  transgressions  that  they 
have  exceeded. 

10  He  "  openeth  also  their  ear  to  dis- 
cipline, and  commandeth  that  they  re- 
turn from  iniquity. 

11  If  they  obey  and  serve  liivi,  Ihey 
shall  spend  their  days  in  "  prosperity, 
and  their  years  in  pleasures : 

12  But  if  they  obey  not,  they  shall  p 
pei'ish  by  the  sword,  and  they  shall  die 
without  knowledge. 

13  But  the  '1  hypocrites  in  heart  t 
heap  up  wrath ;  they  cry  not  when  he 
bindeth  them : 

14  They  '  die  in  youth,  and  their  Hfe 
is  among  the  '  unclean. 

15  He  delivereth  the  "  poor  in  his  af- 
fliction, and  openeth  their  ears  in  op- 
pression : 

16  Even  so  would  he  have  removed 
thee  out  of  the  strait  into  "  a  broad 
place,  where  there  is  no  straitness  ;  and 
that  which  should  be  set  on  thy  table 
should  be  V  full  of  fatness. 

17  But  thou  hasl  ^  fullilled  the  judg- 
ment of  the  wicked  :  judgment  and  jus- 
tice i"  take  hold  on  thee.

and  bring  him  °  low ;  and  p  tread  down 
the  w  icked  in  their  place. 

13  Hide  them  in  the  dust  together,

17  He  moveth  his  tail  like  a  cedar : 
tlic  sinews  of  his  stones  are  wrapped 
together. 

18  H  s  bones  are  as  strong'  pieces  of 
brass  ;  his  bones  are  like  bars  of  iron. 

19  He  is  the  ''■  chief  of  the  ways  of

20  Sui-ely  the  mountaijis  bring  him

9  Behold,  the  hope  of  him  is  in  vain  : 
shall  not  one  be  cast  down  even  at  thi- 
sight  of  him  .' 

10  Note  is  so  fierce  that  dare  stir 
him  up;  who  then  is  able  s  to  stand  be 
fore  me  ? 

11  Who  hath  ''prevented  me,  that  I 
should  repay  iam?  vjhatsoever  is  under 
the  whole  heaven  'is  rhine. 

12  I  will  not  conceal  his  parts,  nor  his 
power,  nor  his  comely  proportion. 

Ij  Who  can  discover  the  face  of  his 
garment  ?  or  who  can  come  to  him  with 
his  double  bridle  ? 

14  Who  can  open  the  doors  of  his 
facf-  ?  j  his  teeth  are  terrible  round  about. 

15  His  scales  are  his  pride,  shut  up 
together  as  %cith  a  close  seal. 

16  One  is  so  near  to  another,  that  no 
air  can  come  between  them. 

17  The;-  are  joined  one  to  another, 
tiicy  stick  together,  that  they  cannot  be 
sundered. 

18  By  his  neesings  a  light  doth  shine, 
and  i;is  eves  are  like  the  eyelids  of  the 
morning. 

19  Gut  of  his  mouth  go  burning  lamps, 
flHc/ sparks  of  fire  leap  out. 

20  Out  of  his  nostrils  goeth  smoke,  as 
outoi'a.  seething  pot  or  caldron. 

21  His  breath  kindleth  coals,  and  a 
flame  goeth  out  of  his  mouth. 

22  It!  his  neck  remainet.i  strength, 
and  sorrow  is  turned  into  joy  before 
him. 

23  The  fJakes  of  his  flesli  are  joined 
together ;  tliey  are  iirm  in  themselves  ; 
they  cannot  be  moved. 

24  His  heart  is  as  firm  as  a  stone ; 
yea,  as  hard  as  a  piece  of  the  ^  nether 
millstone. 

25  Wiien  he  raiseth  up  himself  the 
migiity  are  afraid  :  by  reason  of  break- 
ings tliey  'purif}/  themselves. 

26  The  sword  of  liim  that  layelh  at 
him  cannot  hold;  the  spear,  the  dart, 
iior  tlie  habergeon. 

27  He  tbteemelh  iron  as  straw,  and 
brass  as  rotten  wood. 

28  The  f  arrow  cannot  make  him  fice ; 
"'siing-slones  are  turned  v.  ith  him  into 
stubble. 

29  Darts  are  cr-unted  as  stubbie  :  he 
laugi.cth  at  the  shaking  of  a  spear. 

3>Q  Sliarp  stones  are  under  him  :  l.e 
spreudtth  sharp-poimed  things  upon  the 
niire. 

3i  He  maketh  tlie  "  deep  to  boii  like 
a  pot ;  he  maketh  the  sea  like  a  pot  of 
ointment. 

32  He  maketh  a  patli  to  shine  after 
him  ;  one  would  think  the  deep  to  be 
hoary. 

33  Upon  earth  there  is  not  liis  like, 
who  is  made  without  fear. 

34  He  tje!'..)ideth  ali  high  thi;:?: .-  he 
is  a  king  over  all  the  t  children  of

HEAR  the  riglit,  O  Loru,  attend 
unto  my  cry;  give  ear  unto  my  prayer, 
that  goeth  »  not  out  of  feigned  lips. 

2  Let  my  sentence  come  forth  from 
thv  presence  ;  let  thine  ej'es  behold  the 
things  that  are  equal. 

3  Thou  hast  proved  mine  heart ;  thou 
hast  visited  me  in  the  night ;  thou  bast 
tried  me,  and  shalt  •'  find  nothing  :  1  am 
'  purposed  that  my  mouth  shall  not 
transgress. 

4  Concerning  the  works  of  men,  by 
the  word  of  thy  lips  I  have  kept  me 

from  the  paths  of  the  ^  destroyer. 

5  «  Hold  up  my  goings  in  thy  paths, 
that  m)  footsteps  slip  not. 

6  I  have  called  upon  thee  ;  for  thou  f 
wilt  hear  me,  O  God :  incline  thine  ear 
unto  me,  and  hear  my  speech. 

7  Slievv  thy  marvellous  loving-kind- 
ness, O  thou  that  s  savest  by  t'ny  right 
hand  them  which  put  their  trust  in  thee 
from  those  that  rise  up  against  thein. 

8  Keep  me  as  the  apple  of  the  eye ; 
hide  h  nie  under  the  shadow  of  thy  wings, 

9  From  the  wicked  that  oppress  me, 
from  my  '  deadly  enemies,  ixho  compass 

me  about. 

10  They  are  inclosed  in  their  own  •' 
fat :  with  their  mouth  they  speak  proud- 

11  They  have  now  '  compassed  us  in 
our  steps ;  tliey  have  set  their  eyes 
bowing  down  to  the  earth ; 

12  Like  as  >"  a  lion  that  is  greedy  of 
his  prey,  and  as  it  were  a  young  lion 
lurking  in  secret  places. 

13  Arise,  O  Lord;  disappoint  him, 
cast  him  down  :  deliver  my  soul  from 
the  wicked,  which  is  thy  n  sword: 

14  From  men  which  are  thy  hand,  O 
Lord,  Irom  men  of  the  world,  which 
have  their  °  portion  in  this  liiis,  and 
whose  belly  thou  tilltst  with  thy  hid 
treasure  :  they  are  full  of  children  and 
leave  the  rest  of  their  suhstance  lo  their 
babes 

15  As  for  me,  I  will  behold  thy  p 
face  ill  righteousness  :  I  sh;ill  be  satis- 
fied,  when  I  awake  with  tiiy  likeness.

A  psalm  of  David. 
TRULY  my  soul  waiteth  upon  God: 

from  him  cometh  my  salvation. 

2  He  b  only  is  my  rock  and  my  salva- 
tion ;  he  is  my  defence,  I  shall  not  be  ' 
greatly  moved. 

3  How  long  V  ill  ye  imagine  mischief 
against  ^  a  man  ?  ye  shall  he  « slain  all 
of  you  :  as  ^a  bow  ing  wall  shall  ye  be,  and 
as  a  tottering  fence. 

4  They  ?  only  consult  to  cast  him 
down  from  his  '>  excellency ;  they  de- 
light '  in  lies :  they  bless  with  their 
mouth,  but  they  curse  inwardly.   Selah. 

5  My  soul,  wait  thou  only  upon  God  : 
for  >'  my  expectation  is  from  him. 

6  He  only  is  '  my  rock  and  my  salva- 
tion ;  he  is  my  defence,  I  shall  not  be 
moved. 

7  In  God  is  my  salvation  and  >"  my 
glory  :  the  rock  of  my  strength,  and  my 
refuge,  is  in  God. 

8  Trust  in  him  at  all  times,  ye  people ; 
"  pour  out  your  heart  before  him  ;  God 
is  a  refuge  for  us.     Selah. 

9  Surely  men  of  °  low  degree  are  va- 
nity, ami  men  of  high  degree  are  p  a  lie : 
to  be  laid  in  the  balance  they  are  altoge- 
ther lighter  than  q  vanity. 

10  '  Trust  not  in  oppression,  and  be- 
come not  vain  in  robbery  :  if  riches  in- 
crease, s  set  not  your  heart  upon  them. 

11  God  hath  spoken  once ;  twice  huve 
I  heard  this,  that  'power  bilon^eth  un- 
to God. 

12  Also  unto  thee,  O  Lord,  belongeth

5  O  God,  thou  knowest  e  my  foolish- 
ness ;  and  my  sins  are  not  hid  from  thee. 

6  Let  not  them  that  wait  on  thee,  O 
Lord  God  of  hosts,  be  abhamed  t  for 
my  sake  ;  let  not  those  that  seek  thee  be 
confounded  for  my  sake,  O  God  of  Is- 
rael. 

7  Because  •  for  thy  sake  I  have  borne 
reproach  :  shame  hath  covered  my  face. 

8  I  am  become  a  stranger  unto  my 
brethren,  and  ^  an  alien  unto  my  mo- 
ther's children. 

9  For  the  zeal  of  Ihine  house  hath  ' 
eaten  me  up  ;  and  the  reproaches  of  j 
them  that  reproached  thee  '"  are  fallen 
upon  me. 

10  When  I  wept,  and  chastened  my 
soul  with  fasting,  that  was  "  to  my  re- 
proach. 

11  I  made  sackcloth  also  my  gar- 
ment ;  and  I  became  a  proverb  to  them. 

12  They  that  sit  in  the  gate  °  speak 
against  me  ;  and  I  ii-as  the  p  song  of  the 
drunkards. 

13  But  "3  as  for  me,  my  prayer  is  unto 
thee,  O  Loud,  '  in  an  acceptable  time  : 
O  God,  in  tlie  multitude  of  thy  mercy 
hear  me,  in  the  Hruthof  thy  salvation. 

14  Deliver  me  out  of  the  mire,  and 
let  me  not  sink :  let  me  be  delivered 
from  them  thai  hate  me,  and  out  of  the 
deep  waters. 

15  Let  not  the  v  ater-flood  overflow 
me,  neitlier  let  the  deep  swallow  me  up, 
and  let  not  the  pit '  shut  her  mouth  up- 
on me. 

\6  Hear  me,  O  Loro  ;  for  "^thy  lov- 
ing-kindness is  good  :  turn  unto  me  ac- 
carding  to  the  multitude  of  thy  tender 
mercies. 

17  And  ''  hide  not  thy  face  from  thy 
servant ;  for  I  am  in  trouble  :  hear  me 
speedily. 

18  Draw  nigh  unto  my  soul,  and  re- 
deem it :  deliver  me  y  because  of  mine 
enemies. 

19  Thou  hast  ^  known  my  reproach, 
and  my  shame,  and  my  dishonour  : 
mine  adversaries  aie  all  before  thee. 

20  Reproach  hath  broken  my  heart, 
and  lam  fuUof heavmess:  and  1  looked 

for  some  to  take  pity,  but  there  was  none; 
and  for  comforters,  but  ^  I  found  none. 

21  They  gave  me  also  b  gall  for  my 
meat,  and  in  my  thirst  they  gave  me  "^ 
vinegar  lo  drink. 

22  Let  their  '^  table  become  a  snare 
before  them  :  and  thativhich  should  have 
bten  for  their  welfare,  let  it  become  a 
trap. 

23  Let  their  « eyes  be  darkened  that 
they  see  not,  and  make  their  loins  conti- 
nually to  shake. 

24  f  Pour  out  thine  indignation  upon 
them,  and  let  thy  wrathful  anger  take 
hold  of  them. 

25  Let  their  P  habitation  be  desolate, 
and  let  ''none  dwell  in  their  tents. 


26  For  they  persecute  him  whom  > 
thou  hast  smitten  ;  and  they  talk  to  the 
grief  of  those  whom  thou  hast  wound- 
ed. 

27  ^  Add  iniquity  to  their  iniquity  ; 
and  let  them  not  come  into  '  thy  righte- 
ousness. 

28  Let  them  be  blotted  out  of  the  " 
book  of  the  living,  and  "not  be  written 
wilh  the  righteous, 

29  But  I  am  "  poor  and  sorrowful :  lei 
thy  salvation,  O  Gud,  set  me  upon  high 

30  I  v.  ill  P  praise  the  name  of  God 
with  a  song,  snd  will  magnify  him  with 
thanksgiving. 

31  This  also  shall  please  the  Lord  <5 
better  tluan  an  os  or  bullock  that  hath 
horns  and  hoofs 

32  The  humble  shall  see  this,  and  be 
giad  :  and  your  heart  shalUive  that  seek

34  Let  the  »  heaven  and  ear^h  praise: 
him,  the  seas,  and  every  tiling  tuat

4  For  there  are  no  bar.cjs  |j  in  their 
death  ;  but  iheir  strength  is  iirm. 

5  They  are  not  in  trouble  as  other 
men ;  neither  are  tliey  plagued  =  like 
other  men. 

6  f  Therefore  pride  compasseth  them 
about  as  a  chain;  violence  covereth 
them  as  a  garment. 

7  Their  eyes  s  stand  out  with  fatness  ; 
they  have  more  than  heart  could  wish. 

8  They  are  ^  corrupt;  and  speak 
v/ickedly  concerning  oppression:  they 
speak  '  loftily. 

9  They  set  their  mouth  ^  against  ihe 
heavens;  and  their  tongue  walketb 
through  the  earth.

11  And  :>  they  say,  How  doth  God 
know  I  and  is  there  knowledge  in  the 
most  Higli  ? 

12  Beliolil,  these  are  the  ungodly, 
who  0  prosper  in  the  world ;  P  they  in- 
crease in  riclies. 

13  Verily  I  have  cleansed  my  heart  <) 
in  vain,  and  washed  my  hands  in  inno- 
cency. 

14  For  all  the  day  long  have  I  been 
plagued,  and  '  chastened  every  morn- 
ing. 

15  If  I  say,  I  will  speak  thus  ;  be- 
hold, I  should  offend  against  the  gene- 
ration of  thy  children. 

16  When  I  thought  to  know  this,  ic 
'uas  s  too  painful  for  me. 

17  Until  1  went  into  the  '  sanctuary  of 
God  ;  then  understood  I  their  "  end. 

18  Surely  thou  didst  set  tliem  "  in

20  ^  As  a  dream  when  one  awaketh  ; 
so,  O  Lord,  when  thou  »  awakest\hou 
shalt  despise  ti^.eir  imnge.

^Maschd  of  Asaph. 
GIVE    ear,  O  "  my  people,  to  my 
law ;  1^  incline  your  ears  to  the  words  of 
my  mouth. 

2  I  will  '  open  my  mouth  in  •'  a  par- 
able ;  I  will  utter  dark  sayings  of  old; 

3  W!iicl\  we  have  <=  heard  and  known, 
and  our  fathers  have  told  us. 

4  We  will  not  hide  them  from  their 
children,  shewing  to  tlie  generation  to 
come  the  f  praises  of  the  Loiiu,  and  his 
strength,  and  his  wonderful  works  tliat 
he  hath  done. 

5  For  he  established  fi  a  testimony  in 
Jacob,  and  appointed  a  law  in  Israel, 
which  he  commanded  our  fathers,  that 
they  should  make  them  known  ^  to  their 
ciiildren  ; 

6  That  the  generation  to  come  might 
know  thcni,  even  the  children  ivhich 
sliouli  be  born,  luho  should  arise  and  ' 
declare  them  to  their  children : 

7  That  they  might  set  their  iiope  in 
God,  and  not  forget  t!ie  works  of  God; 
but  keep  his  commandments  : 

8  And  might  not  be  •'as  their  f:ithers, 
'  a  stubborn  and  rebellious  generation ; 
a  generation  that  set  not  their  heart 
aright,  and  whose  spirit  was  not  steadfast 
with  God. 

9  The  '-^  children  of  Eplu-aim,  being 
armed,  and  carrying  bows,  turned  back 
in  the  day  of  battle. 

lOTliey  kept  not  the  covenant  of  God, 
and  "  refused  to  walk  in  his  law ; 

11  And  o  forgat  his  works,  and  his 
wonders  that  he  had  shewed  them. 

12  Marvellous  things  did  he  in  the 
sight  of  their  fathers  in  the  land  of  E- 
gypt,  in  the  field  of  P  Zoan. 

13  He  1  divided  the  sea,  and  caus- 
ed them  to  passs  through ;  and  lie 
made  the  waters  tv  stand  as  an  Iicap. 

14  In  the  day  time  also  he  '  led  them 
with  a  cloud,  and  all  tiie  night  with  a 
light  of  fire. 

15  He  clave  the  '  rocks  in  the  wil- 
derness, and  gave  them  drink  as  out  (if 
the  greai  deplhs. 

15  He  brought  streams  also  out  of  the 
rock,  and  caused  waters  '  to  run  down 
like  rivers. 

17  And  they  sinned  "  yet  more  against 
him,  by  >^  provoking  the  most  High  in 
the  wilderness. 

18  And  they  tempted  God  in  their 
heart,  by  asking  meat  for  their  f  hist. 

19  Yea,  they  y  spake  against  God  : 


j  they  said.  Can  God  furnish  a  table  in 

i  the  wilderness  ? 

I      20  Behold,  he  ^  smote  tlie  rock,  that  z  Exod. 
the  waters  gushed  out,  and  the  streams  ^''-  ^• 
overflowed;  can  he  -^give  bread  also! can  a  Psalm 
he  provide  flesh  for  his  people  ?  Mat^*' 

21  Therefore  the  Loru  ^  heard  this,  6.  ss. 
and  was  "  wroth  :  so  a  fire  was  kindled  *Num. 
against  Jacob,  and  anger  also  came  up  ^  fsaiah 
against  Israel ;  27. 4. 

22  Because  they  <^  believed  not  inrfijohn 
God,  and  '^  trusted  not  in  his  sahation;  *•  ^°*, 

23  Tliongh  he  had  commanded  the  20. 12.  ' 
clouds  from  above,  and  opened  the   f/2Kings 
doors  of  heaven,  ^'  ^^^ 

24  And  liad  rained   down  g  raanna^Exod, 
upon  them  to  eat,  and  had  given  theni  i^.  14. 
of  tlie  corn  of  heaven 

25  Man  did  eat  |  angels'  food  :  he  t  Heb. 
sent  them  ''  meat  to  the  full.  efi^hf"^ 

26  He  caused  an  east  wind  '  to  blow  migkties, 
in  the  heaven;  and  by  his  power  he  Hebr. 
brouglu  in  the  south  wind.  //Exod. 

27  He  rained  ^  flesh  also  upon  then^  16.  I6. 
as  dust,  and  f  uthered  fowls  like  as  '  ^3"'" 
the  sand  of  tlie  sea ;  *  Num. 

28  And  lie  let  it  fall  in  the  midst  of  n.  32. 
their  camp,  round  about  their  habita- 
tions. 

29  So  they  did  eat,  and  were  well 
filled  :  for  he  gave  them  their  own  de- 
sire ; 

30  They  were   not  estranged  from 
Uteir  I  lust :  but  while  their  meat  vias  i  Num. 
yet  in  their  mouths,  11.33. 

31  Tlie  wrath  of  God  came  upon  them, 
and  slew  the  fattest  of  ihem,  and  smote 
down  the  cliosen  vien  of  Israel. 

32  For  all  this  they  ■"  sinned  still,  and  '«  Nunr. 
believed  not  for  his  v/ondrous  works.      2  chron. 

j'i  Therefore  their  days  did  he  con-  28. 22. 
sume  n   in  vanity,  and  their  yeare  in  \^^' 
trouble.  Ps'alni 

34  When  he  °  slew  them,  then  the)  90. 4. 
sought  him ;  and  they  returned  and  in-  5.^5.^^* 
quired  early  after  God : 

2S  And  they  remembered  that  God 
vias  their  Rock,  and  theliigh  God  their 
Redeemer. 

o^  Nevertheless  they  did  flatter  him 
with  their  mouth,  and  they  lied  unto 
him  with  iheir  tongues  : 

'?>7  For  their  htart  was  r  not  right  p  Psalms 
with  him,  neither  were  they  steadfast  it)  ^Jj^'/'g** 
iiis  covenant. 

38  But  he,  being  i  full  of  compassion,  q  Psalm 
forgave    their  iiiiquit}',    and   destroyed  J'^°-J- 
thctn   not;  yea,  f  many  a  time   turned  2. 13.

43  How  lie  had  wrought  his  signs  in 
Egypt,  and  his  wonders  in  the  field  of 
Zoan : 

44  And  h.id  turned  their  rivers  into 
y  blood,  and  their  floods,  that  they 
could  nrit  drink. 

45  He  sent  ^  diverse  sorts  of  flies

and  ^  frogs,  wliich  destroy  ed  them. 

46  He  gave  also  their  increase  imto

47  He  destroyed  their  vines  witli  hail,

48  He  gave  up  tlielr  cattle  also  to  the 
hail,  and  their  flocks  to  ^  hot  thunder-

49  He  cast  upon  them  the  fierceness 
of  his  anger,  wrath,  and  indignation, 
and  trouble,  by  sending  \  evil  angels 
among  them. 

50  He  made  a  way  to  his  anger  ;  he 
spared  not  their  soul  from  death,  but 
gave  their  life  over  to  the  pestilence  ; 

51  And  smote  all  the  >=  first-born  in 
Egypt :  the  chief  of  their  strengtli  in 
tlie  tabernacles  of  f  Ham  : 

52  But  made  his  own  people  to  go 
forth  s  like  sheep,  and  guided  them  in 
the  wilderness  like  a  flock. 

53  And  he  led  them  on  safely,  so 
that  they  feared  not :  but  the  ''  sea 
overwhelmed  their  enemies.

fore them,  aiul  ■"  divided  tiicm  an  in- 
heritance by  line  ;  and  made  the  tribes 
of  Isr.iel  to  dwell  in  their  tents. 

56  Yet  they  "  tempted  and  provoked 
tlie  most  high  God,  and  °  kept  not  lus 
testimcnies; 

57  But  turned  baclr,  and  dealt  un- 
faithi'i.lly  like  p  tlieir  fathers  ;  they  were 
turned  a  ide  like  i  a  deceitful  bow. 

5b  For  they  provoked  him  to  anger 
with  tneir  '  high  places,  and  moved  him 
to  s  jealousy  with  their  graven  imiges. 

59  When  God  heard  -this  he  w.as

If  A  sonij  or  psalm  of  Asaph. 
KEEP  not  thou  »  silence,  O  God: 
hold  not  thy  peace,  and  he  not  still,  O 
God. 

2  For,  lo,  ''thine  enemies  make  a  tu- 
mult ;  and  they  <:  that  hate  thee  kave  '' 
lifted  up  the  head. 

3  Tljey  have  taken  crafty  counsel  a- 
gainst  thy  people,  and  consulted  against 
thy  « hidden  ones. 

4  They  have  said,  f  Come,  and  let  us 
cut  them  off  from  being  f.  a  nation  :  th:it 

I  Esther  jj^g  name  of  Israel  may  be  no  more  in 
remembrance. 

5  For  they  have  h  consulted  together 
with  one  consent ;  they  are  confederate 
against  thee  : 

6  The  tabernacles  of  ■  Edom,  and  the 
k  Ishmaelitcs  ;  of  Moab  aiul  the  '  Haga-

7  '"  Gc'bal,  and  Ammon,  and  Amalek ;

Tyre  ; 

8  "  Assur  also  is  joined  with  them  : 
they  have  "  holpen  the  children  of  Lot. 
Sehh. 

9  Do  unto  them  as  an^o  tlie  PMidian- 
ites ;  as  fo  1  Sisera,  as  to  Jabin,  at  the 
brook  of  Kison ; 

10  Which,  perished  at  En-dor :  they  be- 
came as  dung  for  the  earth. 

11  Make  their  nobles  like  Oreb,  and 
g'^gfs*^^    like  Zeeb;  yea,  all  their, princes  as  'Ze- 

bul»  and  as  Zalmunna: 

12  Who  said,  Let  us  take  to  ourselves 
the  ^  houses  of  God  in  possessi!)n. 

13  O  my  God,  inake  them  like  a 
wheel;  as  the  'stubble  before  the  wind. 

14  As  the  "  fire  burneth  a  wood,  and 
as  the  flame  setlelh  the  mountains  on  fire, 

15  S'j  persecute  them  with  liiy  ^  tem- 
pest, and  make  them  afraid  with  thy 
storm. 

16  F^U  their  faces  with  y  shame  ;  that 
zthey  may  seek  tliy  name,  O  Lord. 

ir  Letthem  be  confounded  and  troub-

1  Moses,  setting  forth  God's  providence, 

3  coinplaintth  of  human  frailty. 
^  A  prayer  of  »  Moses  the  ^  man  of  God. 
LORD,  thou  hast  been  our  '  dwell- 
ing-place in  all  generations. 

2  Before  the  mountains  were  '' brought 
forth,  or  ever  thou  hadst  «  formed  the 
earth  and  the  world  ;  even  from  ever- 
lasting to  everlasting  thou  art  God. 

3  Thou  turnest  man  to  f  destruction : 
and  sayest,  Return,  ye  children  of  men. 

2  Peter      ^  ^°''  ^  ^  thousand  years  in  thy  sight 
3.  8.         are  but  as  yesterday  when  it  is  past,  and 
as  ^  a  watch  in  the  night. 

5  Thou  earnest  them  away  as  with  ' 
a  flood  ;  they  are  as  a  sleep  :  in  tlie 
morning  they  are  like  ^  grass  v:hich 
groweth  up. 

6  In  the  morning  it  i  flourisheth  and 
growetJi  up  ;  in  the  evening  it  is  cut 
down  and  withered. 

7  For  we  are  "  consumed  by  thine  an- 
ger, and  by  thy  wrath  are  we  troubled. 

8  Thou  hist  n  set  our  iniquities  before 
thee,  our  °  secret  sins  in  tJie  p  light  of 
thy  countenance. 

9  For  ail  our  days  are  passed  away  in 
thy  wrath  ;  we  spend  our  years  as  'J  a 
tale  that  is  told. 

10  The  days  of  our  years  are  three- 
score years  and  ten;  and  if  by  reason  of 
strength  they  be  fourscore  years,  yet  is 
their  strength  labour  and  sorrow  :  for  it 
is  soon  cut  off,  and  we  fly  away. 

11  Who  knowelh  the  power  of  thine 
anger  ?  even  according  to  thy  fear  so  is 
thy  wrath. 

12  So  teach  us  '  to  number  our  days, 
that  we  may  apply  our  hearts  vuito  wis- 
dom. 

13  Return,  O  Lord,  how  long  ?  and 
let  it  s  repent  tbec- concerning  thy  ser- 
vant*.

20  To  hear  the  groaning  of  the  pri- 
soner, to  loose  those  that  are  «  appoint- 
ed to  death  ; 

21  To  declare  the  name  of  the  Lord 
in  Zion,  and  his  praise  in  Jerusalem; 

22  When  tJie  people  are  gathered  to- 
gether, and  the  kingdoms,  to  serve  the 
Lord. 

23  He  we.tkened  my  strength  in  the 
way;  lie  f  shortened  my  days. 

24  I  said,  O  my  God,  take  me  not  a- 
way  in  the  midst  of  my  days  :  thy  years 
ore  throughout  all  generations. 

25  g  Of  old  hast  thou  laid  the  founda- 
tion of  the  earth  :  and  ttie  heavens  are 
the  work  of  thy  hands,. 

26  They  sh^ll ''  perish,  but  thou  shalt 
■  endure  ;  yea,  all  ot'them  shall  wax  old 
like  a  garment ;  as  a  vesture  shalt  thou 
k  change  them,  and  they  shall  be  chang- 
ed. 

27  But  thou  art  '  the  same,  and  thy 
years  shall  have  no  end. 

28  The  J->  children  of  thy  servants 
shall  continue,  and  their  seed  shall  be 
estabhshed  before  thee. 

PSALM  cm. 

An  exhortation  to  bless  God  for  his  mercy. 
^  A  psalm  of  David. 
BLESS  the  Lord,  O  »  my  soul ;  and 
all  tiiat  is  within  me,  bless  his  holy  name. 

2  Bless  the  Lord,  O  my  soul,  and 
forget  not  all  his  t  benefits  : 

3  Who '  forgiveth  all  thine  iniquities ; 
who  ti  healeth  all  thy  diseases  ; 

4  Who  redeemeth  thy  life  from  '^  de- 
struction ;  who  crowneth  tliee  with  lov- 
ing-kindness and  tender  mercies ; 

5  Who  satisfieth  thy  mouth  with  good 
things;  so  that  thy  youth  is  'renewed 
like  the  eagle's. 

6  The  Lord  executeth  righteousness 
and  judgment  for  all  that  are  oppress- 
ed. 

7  He  made  known  his  ways  unto  g 
Moses,  his  acts  unto  the  children  of  Is- 
rael. 

8  The  Lord  is  ''  merciful  and  gra- 
cious, slow  to  anger,  and  plenteous  in 
mercy. 

9  He  will  '  not  always  chide;  neither 
will  he  keep  his  anger  ^  forever. 

10  He  hath  not  dealt  witJi  us  after  our 
sins,  nor  rewarded  us  according  to  our 
iniquities. 

11  For  as  the  heaven  is  high  '  above 
the  earth,  so  great  is  his  mercy  toward 
them  that  fear  him. 

12  As  far  as  4be  «^t  is  from  thp  lyest ; 


so  far  hath  he  ™  removed  our  transgres- 
sions from  us. 

13  Like  as  n  a  father  °  pitieth  his  chil- 
dren, so  the  Lord  pitieth  them  that 
fear  him. 

14  For  he  knoweth  our  frame  :  he  re- 
membereththat  we  are  p  dust. 

15  As  for  man,  his  days  are  as  1  grass ; 
as  a  flower  of  the  field,  so  he  Hourisheth: 

16  For  the  wind  passeth  over  it,  and 
it  is  gone  ;  and  the  place  thereof  shall 
know  it  "■  no  more. 

17  But  the  mercy  of  the  Lord  is  « 
from  everlasting  to  everlasting  upon 
them  that  fear  him,  and  t  his  righteous- 
ness unto  cliildren's  children  ; 

18  To  sucii  as  "  keep  his  covenant, 
and  to  those  that  remember  his  com- 
mandments to  do  them. 

19  The  Lord  hath  prepared  his  " 
throne  in  the  heavens  ;  and  his  kingdom 
ruleth  over  all. 

20  Bless  the  Lord,  ye  his  angels 
that  y  excel  in  strength,  that  ^  do  his 
commandments,  hearkening  unto  the 
voice  of  his  word. 

21  Bless  ye  the  Lord,  all  ye  his  » 
hosts,  ye  ^  ministers  of  his  that  do  his 
pleasure. 

22  Bless  the  Lord,  "^  all  his  works,  in 
all  places  of  his  dominion  :  bless  the 
Lord,  O  ^  my  soul. 

PSALM  CIV. 

A  meditation  upon  the  7najesty  of  God,  &c. 
BLESS  the  Lord,  O  my  soul.  O 
Lord  my  God,  thou  art  very  great ; 
thou  art  »  clothed  with  honour  and  ma- 
jesty; 

2  Who  coveresttAjse^ with  ''light as 
nuith  a  garment ;  who  stretchest  out  the 
heavens  like  "^  a  curtain  ; 

3  Wlio  layeth  the  beams  of  his  cham- 
bers 'I  in  the  waters ;  who  maketh  the  = 
clouds  his  chariot ;  who  walketh  upon 
the  wings  of  the  wind; 

4  Who  maketh  his  f  angels  spirits  ; 
his  ministers  ?  a  flaming  fire  ; 

5  Who  '>  laid  the  foundations  of  the 
earth,  that  it  should  not  be  removed ' 
for  ever. 

6  Thou  coveredfit  it  with  the  deep  as 
irsith  k  a  garment :  the  waters  stood  a- 
bove  the  mountains. 

7  At  thy  rebuke  they  fled  ;  at  1  the 
voice  of  thy  thunder  they  hasted  away. 

8  They  ™  go  up  by  the  mountains  ; 
they  go  down  by  tlic  valleys  into  the 
place  which  thou  hast  founded  for  them. 

9  Thou  hast  set  "  a  bound  that  they 
may  not  pass  over,  that  they  turn  not 
again  to  cover  the  eartli. 

10  He  sendeth  the  springs  into  the 
valleys,  ixhich  run  among  the  hills. 

11  They  give  drink  to  <=  every  beast 
of  the  field :  the  wild  asses  r quench  their 
thirst. 

12  By  them  shall  the  fowls  of  the 
heaven  have  their  habitation,  ijhich 
ging  among  the  branches.

13  He  watereth  the  hills. from  his 
chambers :  the  earth  is '  satisfied  with 
the  1  truit  of  thy  works. 

14  He  causeth  the  '  grass  to  grow  for 
the  cattle,  and  herb  for  the  service  of 
man,  that  he  may  bring  forth  f  food  out 
of  the  earth ; 

15  And  wine  that  «  maketh  glad  the 
lieart  of  man,  ant/ oil  to  make  his  face 
to  shine,  and  bread  uA/cA  strengtheneth 
man's  heart. 

16  The  '  trees  of  the  Lord  are  full 
of  saf;  the  cedars  of  Lebanon  which 
he  hath  planted  ; 

17  Where  the  birds  make  their  nests : 
as  for  the  stork,  the  fir-trees  are  her 
house. 

18  The  high  hills  are  a  refuge  for  the 
wild  goats,  and  the  rocks  for  the  "  co- 
nies. 

19  He  appointeth  the  moon  for  "  sea- 
sons; the  sun  y  knoweth  his  going 
down. 

20  Thou  makest  '^  darkness,  and  it  is 
night,  wherein  all  the  beasts  of  the  for- 
est do  creep  forth. 

21  The  young  lions  roar  after  their  »

22  The  <"  sun  ari.seth,  they  gather 
themselves  together,  and  lay  them  down 
in  their  dens. 

23  Man  goeth  forth  to  his  ^  work, 
and  to  his  labour,  until  the  evening. 

24  O  Lord,  ^  how  manifold  are  thy 
works!  f  in  wisdom  hast  thou  made 
them  all:  the  earth  is  g  full  of  thy 
riches ; 

25  So  is  this  great  and  wide  sea, 
wherein  are  things  creeping  innumera- 
ble, both  small  and  great  beasts. 

26  There  go  the  ships  ;  there  is  that  '^ 
leviathan,  nuhotn  thou  bast  made  to  play 
therein. 

27  These  •  wait  all  upon  thee,  that 
thou  mayest  give  them  tiieir  meat  in  due 
season. 

28  That  thou  givest  them  they  ga- 
ther :  thou  •<  openest  thine  hand,  they 
are  filled  with  good. 

29  Thou  hidest  thy  face,  they  are 
troubled ;  thou  takest  away  their  breath, 
they  die,  and  return  to  their  '  dust. 

30  ■"  Thou  sendest  forth  thy  spirit, 
they  are  created  :  and  thou  °  renewest

32  He  looketh  on  the  earth,  and  it  p

33 1  will  sing  unto  the  Lord  '  as  long 
as  I  live  ;  I  will  sing  praise  unto  my  God 
while  I  have  my  being. 

34  My  meditation  of  him  shall  be 
sweet ;  I  will  be  glad  in  the  Lord. 

35  Let  the  sinners  be  s  consumed  out

7  Our  fathers   understood   not  thy 
wonders  in  Egjpt;  they  remembered 
'-    t  the  multitude  of  thy  mercies  ;  but 
jH-ovoked  him  at  the  sea,  even  ■  at  the  » Exod. 
Red  sea.  "•  w- 

8  Nevertheless  he  saved  them  ^  for  *  Ezek. 
his  name's  sake,  that  he  might  make^o-'*'*. 
nis  mighty  p^jwer  to  be  kn  ,wn. 

9  He  '  rebuked  the  Red  sea  also,  and  /Nahnjn 
it  was  dried  up  :  so  l;e  led  them  throug!^  \^*:^ 
■"the  depths  as  through  the  wilderness,  g. '2s. 

10  And  he  saved  them  from  the  haiid  ""  EjojiL 
of  him  that  hated  thtm,  and  redeemed     "*' 
them  from  tlic  hand  of  the  enemy. 

11  And  the  waters  "  covered  theh«E.\od. 
enemies ;  there  was  not  one  of  them  ^*-  *• 
left. 

12  Then  "  believed  they  his  words,  0  Exod, 
they  p  sang  his  praise.  i^Exod 

13  They  s  soon  forgat  Iiis  works,  they  is.  i. 
waited  not  for  his  counsel ;  9  Exod. 

14  But  r  lusted  exceedingly  in  the  "{ ^(J^, 
wilderness,  and  « tempted  God  in  the  10. 4. 
desert.  m  ^m^ 

[      15  And  he  gave  them  their  request ; 
I  but  sent  f  leanness  into  their  soul.  *  Isaiah 

16  They  "  envied  Moses  also  in  the  Jf^J^',^ 
I  camp,  a;jrf  Aaron  the  saint  of  the  Lord.  16.  1. 
I      17  The  X  earth  opened  and  swallowed  *  ^,'?"' 
I  up  Dathan,  and  covered  the  company 
of  Abiram. 

18  And  a  fire  was  kindled  in  their 
!  company ;  the   fiam«   burnt  up   y  the  ^sThess. 
1  wicked.  '"  ^' 

19  They  made  a  calf  in  ^  Horeb,  and  x  Exod. 
worshipped  the  molten  image.  ^"  ^• 

20  Thus  they  changed  their  »  glory  a  3&c. 
I  into  the  similitude  of  ''  an  ox  that  eatet!)  ^^"hr. 
I  grass.  11. 15.  * 

21  They  forgat  God  their  sa\'iour,  • 
I  which  had  done  great  things  in  Egypt; 

22  Wondrous  works  in  the  land  of 
I  Ham,  and  terrible  things  by  the  Red 

sea. 

23  Therefore  ^  he  said  tliat  he  would  e  Exod. 
destroy  them,  had  not  Moses  bis  cho-  ^^-  "•• 
sen  stood  before  him  in  the  ^  breach,  ^E^od. 
to  turn  away  his  wrath,  lest  he  should  ^iek'  ^^'

24  Yea,  they  despised  the  «  pleasant  ^  q^°^ 
land ;  they  f  believed  not  his  word  ;         s.  7.    ' 

25  But  g  murmured  in  their  tents, ««..  Ezek. 
hearkened  not  unto  the  voice  of  tiu  |-°Hg"[,r.

25  Therefore  •>  he  lifted  up  his  hand  f^^^™- 
against  them,  to  overthrow  them  in  the  ^^  ceot.

39  Thus  were  tlicy  defiled  with  their

THE  king's  ^  heart  is  in  the  '•  hand 
of  the  Lord  ;  as  the  rivers  of  water,  he 
turneth  it  whithersoever  he  will. 

2  Every  way  of  a  man  is  <'  right  in  his 
own  eyes;  but  the  Lord  pond'ereth  the 
hearts. 

3  To  do  justice  and  judgment  is  more 
acceptable  to  the  Lord  than  ^  sacrifice. 

4  An  high  look,  and  a  proud  heart, 
and  the  |)  plowing  of  the  wicked,  is  sin. 

5  The  thoughts  of  the  diligent  tend 
only  to  plenteousness  ;  but  of  every  one 
that  is  hasty  only  to  want. 

6  The  getting  of  treasures  by  ^  a  ly- 
ing tongue  is  a  vanity  tossed  to  and  fro 
of  them  that  seek  death. 

7  The  robbery  of  the  wicked  shall  f 
destroy  them ;  because  they  refuse  to  do 
judgment. 

8  The  way  of  man  is  froward  and 
strantre  :  but  as  fur  the  e  pure,  his  work 
is  riglit.

1  Observations  about  fools,  13  about  slug- 
gards, 17  and  about  busybodits. 
AS  snow  in  summer,  and  as  rain  in 
harvest ;  so   ^  honour  is  not  seemly  for 
a  fool. 

2  As  tlie  bird  by  wandering,  as  the 
swallow  by  flying;  so  the  "^ curse  catise- 
less  shall  not  come. 

3  A  whip  for  the  horse,  a  bridle  for 
the  ass,  and  ■=  a  rod  for  the  fool's  back. 

4  ''  Answer  not  a  fool  according  to 
his  folly,  lest  thou  also  be  like  unto  him. 

5  Answer  a  fool  '  according  to  his 
folly,  lest  he  be  wise  in  his  own  conceit. 

6  He  that  sendeth  fa  message  by  the 
hand  of  a  fool  cutteth  off  the  feet,  aiid 
drinketh  damage. 

7  The  legs  of  the  lame  are  not  equal ; 
so  is  a  parable  in  tlie  mouth  of  fof>ls. 

8  As  he  that  bindeth  a  stone  in  a 
sling  ;  so  is  he  that  g  giveth  honour  to  a 
fool. 

9  As3i  thorn  goeth  up  into  the  hand 
of  a  drimkard  ;  so  is  a  parable  in  the 
mouth  of  fools. 

10  The  great  God,  that  formed  all 
things,  both  rewardeth  the  fool  and  re- 
wardeth  transgressors. 

11  As  a  dog  ii  returneth  to  his  vomit ; 
so  a  fool  returneth  to  his  folly. 

12  Seest  thou  a  man  ■  wise  in  his  own 
conceit  ?  there  is  more  hope  of  a  fool 
than  of  him. 

13  The  slothful  ma«  saith.  There  is 
k  a  lion  in  the  way,  a  lion  is  in  the 
streets. 

14  As  the  door  turneth  upon  his  hing- 
es ;  so  doth  the  slothful  upon  his  bed. 

15  The  slothful  hideth  his  hand  in  liis 
bosom;  it  1  grieveth  him  to  bring  it 
again  to  his  mouth. 

16  Tlie  sluggard  is  wiser  in  his  own 
conceit  than  seven  men  that  can  '"  ren- 
der a  reason. 

17  He  that  passeth  by,  and  »  med- 
dleth  w  ith  sti'ife  belonging  not  to  him,  is 
like  one  that  taketh  a  dog  by  the  ears. 

18  As  a  mad  man,  who  casleth  fire- 
brands, arrows,  and  death; 

19  So  is  the  man  that  deceiveth  his 
neighbour,  and  saith.  Am  not  I  °  in 
sport  ? 

20  Wliere  no  r  wood  is  there  the  fire 
goeth  out ;  so  where  there  is  no  tale-

12  Wlien  righteous  inen  do  "  rejoice 
there  is  great  g-lory  :  but  when  the  wick- 
ed rise  a  man  is  "  liidden. 

13  He  that  °  covereth  his  sins  shall 
not  prosper :  but  whoso  p  confesseth  and 
tbrsaketh  thern  shall  have  mercy. 

14  Happy  is  the  man  that  i  feareth 
ahvay  :  but  he  that  r  hardencth  his  heart 
shall  fall  into  mischief. 

15  As  a  s  roaring  lion  and  a  ranging- 
bear ;  so  is  «  a  wicked  ruler  over  the 
poor  people. 

16  The  prince  that  wanteth  under- 
standing is  also  a  great  oppressor  :  but 
he  tliat  hateth  covetousness  shall  pro- 
long his  days. 

17  A  man  that  doelh  violence  to  the 
blood  of  any  person  shall  flee  to  the  pit ; 
let  no  man  stay  him. 

18  Whoso  vvalketh  uprightly  shall  be 
saved  ;  but  he  that  is  "  pervei'se  in  his 
ways  shall  fall  at  once. 

i9  He  that  tilleth  his  land  shall  have 
'^  plenty  of  bread:  but  he  that  followeth 
afier  vain  persons  shall  have  y  poverty 
enough. 

20  A  faithful  man  shall  aboimd  with 
blessings  :  but  he  that  maketh  haste  to 
be  rich  shall  not  be  innocent. 

21  To  have  respect  of  persons  is  not 
good ;  for,  for  a  piece  of  bread  that 
man  will  transgress. 

22  He  that  hasteth  to  be  rich  hath  an 
evil  eye,  and  ^  considereth  not  that  po- 
verty shall  come  upon  him. 

23  He  that  ^  rebuketii  a  man,  after- 
ward shall  find  more  favour  tiian  he 
that  flattereth  with  the  tongue. 

24  Whoso  robbeth  his  fiither  or  his 
mother,  and  saith,  It  is  no  transgres- 
sion ;  the  same  is  the  companion  of  a 
destrojer. 

25  He  that  is  of  a  proud  heart  stirreth 
up  strife :  but  he  tliat  ^  patteth  his  trust 
in  the  Lord  shall  be  made  fat. 

26  He  that  'trustelh  in  his  own  heart 
is  a  fool ;  but  wlioso  walketh  wisely  he 
shall  be  dehvered. 

27  He  that  giveth  unto  the  poor  siiall 
''  not  lack  :  but  he  that  hidelh  his  eyes 
shall  have  many  a  curse. 

28  When  the  wicked  rise  men  hide 
themselves:  but  when  they  perish  the 
righteous  •=  increase.

1  The  Preacher  sheiueth  that  all  things 
here  below  are  vain ;  4  because  the 
creatures  are  restless  in  their  courses, 
kc. 

THE  words  of  the  Preacher,  the 

son  of  David,  »  king  of  Jerusalem. 

2  Vanity  of  vanities,  saith  the  Preach- 
er, vanity  of  vanities  :   ^  all  is  vanity. 

3  What  profit  hath  a  man  of  all  nis 
labour  which  he  « laketh  under  the  sun  i 

4  %  One  generation  passeth  away,  and 
another  generation  cometh  :  but  the 
'•  earth  abideth  for  ever. 

5  The  sun  also  ariseth  and  the  sun 
goeth  down,  and  =  hasteth  to  his  place 
where  he  arose. 

6  The  wind  goeth  toward  the  south, 
and  turneth  iibout  unto  the  north  ;  it 
fwhirleth  about  continually;  and  the 
wind  returneth  again  according  to  his 
circuits. 

7  All  the  rivers  run  into  the  sea  ;  yet 
thfe  sea/i-  not  full  :  unto  the  place  li-^'n. 
whence  the  rivers  come,  thither  they 
g return  again. 

8  All  things  are  full  of  labour  ;  m:\r 
cannot  utter  Vf  :  the  i' eye  is  not  satis- 
fied with  seeing,  nor  the  car  filled  witli 
hearing. 

9  The  thing  that  lia'.li  been,  It  is  (hat 


which  shall  be  ;  and  that  which  is  done, 
is  that  which  shall  de  done :  and  there  is 
no  ■  new  thing  under  the  sun. 

10  Is  there  a/iy  thing  whereof  it  may 
be  said.  See,  ^  this  is  new  !  it  hath  been 
already  of  old  time,  which  was  before 
us. 

11  There  is  'no  remembrance  of  for- 
mer things ;  neither  shall  there  be  a?i}' 
remembrance  of  things  that  are  to  come 
with  those  that  shall  come  after. 

12  %  '"  I  the  Preacher  w  as  king  over 
Israel  in  Jerusalem. 

13  And  I  "  gave  my  heart  to  seek  and 
search  out  by  wisdom  concerning  oall 
things  {\ia.t  are  done  under  heaven  :  this 
sore  travail  hath  God  i^iven  to  the  sons 
uf  man,  to  be  exerci-sed  therewith. 

14  I  have  i'  seen  all  the  works  that 
are  done  uneler  the  sun ;  and,  behold, 
all  is  vanity  and  vexation  of  spirit. 

15  That  which  is  'i  crooked  cannot  be 
made  straight ;  and  that  which  is  want- 
ing cannot  be  numbered. 

16  I  communed  with  mine  own  heart, 
saying,  Lo,  I  am  come  to  great  estate, 
I'ld  have  gotten  more  wisdom  tlian  al 
t.'tey  that  have  been  before  me  in  Jeru- 
salem ;  )  ea,  my  heart  had  ■■  great  expe- 
rienceolwisdom  and  knowledge. 

17  And  I  5  gave  my  heart  to  know 
wisdom,  and   to  know  ^  madness    and

1  The  vanity  of  human  courses.  12  Though 
the  wise  he  better  than  the  fool,  yet 
both  have  07ie  event,  &c. 

I  SAID  ^  in  mine  heartj  Go  to  now, 

I  will  prove  thee  with  m.irth  ;  therefore 

enjoy  pleasure  .-  and,  behold,  this  also  is 

b  vanily. 

2  I  said  =  of  laughter,  It  is  mad  :  and 
of  mirth,  What  doeth  it  r 

3  I  sought  in  luine  heart  to  give  my- 
self unto  wine,  ^  yet  acquainting  mine 
heart  with  wisdom  ;  and  to  lay  hold  on 
folly,  till  I  might  see  what  ivas  tiiat 
good  for  tlie  sons  of  men  which  they 
should  do  under  the  heaven  all  tlie  days 
of  their  hfe. 

4  I  ■=  made  me  great  works  ;  I  build' 
ed  me  '■  houses  ;  I  planted  me  vineyards  ; 

5  I  made  me  gardens  and  g  orchards, 
and  I  planted  trees  in  tliem  '>  of  all 
kind  o/"  fruits  ; 

6  I  made  me  '  pools  of  water,  to  wa- 
ter therewith  the  w^ood  that  bringeth 
forth  trees  ; 

7  I  got  one  servants  and  maidens,  and 
had  servants  born  in  my  house ;  also 
I  had  k  great  possessions  of  great  and 
small  cattle  above  all  that  were  in  Je- 
rusalem before  me  : 

8  I  gathered  me  also  silver  and  gold, 
and  the  pecuhar  treasure  of  kings  and 
of  the  provinces  ;  I  gat  me  men-singers 
and  women-singers,  and  the  delights  of 
the 'sons  of  m^n,  as  '  musical  instru- 
ments, and  that  of  all  sorts. 

9  So  I  was  great,  and  increased  more 
than  all  that  were  before  me  in  Jerusa- 
lem :  also  my  wisdom  ^  remained  with 
me. 

10  And  whatsoever  n  mine  eyes  de- 
sired I  kept  not  from  them  ;  I  withheld 
not  my  heart  from  any  joy:  for  °  my 
heart  rejoiced  in  all  my  labour  ;  and  this 
was  my  portion  of  all  my  labour. 

11  Then  I  P  looked  on  all  the  works 
that  my  hands  had  wrouglit,  and  on  the 
labour  that  I  had  laboured  to  do  ;  and, 
behoy,  all  %\:as  vanity  and  vexation  of 
spirit,  and  there  ivas  "5  no  profit  under 
the  sun. 

12^  And  I  turned  myself  to  behold 
wisdom,  and  '  madness,  and  folly  :  for 
what  can  the  man  do  that  cometh  «  af- 
ter the  king  ?  even  that  which  hath  been 
already  done. 

13  Then  I  saw  that  'wisdom  excel- 
leth  folly,  as  far  as  light  excelleth  dark- 
ness. 

14  Tlie  wise  man's  eyes  are  in  liis 
head  ;  but  tlie  fool  walketli  In  darkness  : 
and  I  myself  perceived  also  that  "  one 
event  happenelh  to  them  all. 


15  Then  said  I  in  my  heart,  As  it 
happenelh  to  the  fool,  so  it  liappeneth 
even  to  me  ;  and  why  was  I  then  "  more 
wise  ?  Then  I  said  in  my  heart,  that 
this  also  is  vanity. 

16  For  there  is  no  remembrance  of 
the  wise  more  than  of  tlie  fool  for  ever  ; 
seeing  that  wliicli  now  is  in  the  days 
to  come  shall  all  be  ^  forgotten  :  and 
how  dieth  the  wise  man  ?  '  as  the  fool. 

\7  Therefore  I  ^  hated  life  ;  because 
the  work  that  is  wrought  under  the  sun 
is  grievous  unto  me  :  for  ajl  is  vanity 
and  vexation  of  spirit. 

18  jf  Yea,  ^  I  hated  all  my  labour 
which  1  had  taken  under  the  sun  ;  be- 
cause I  should  leave  it  unto  the  man  that 
shall  be  after    me. 

19  And  W'ho  knoweth  whether  he 
shall  be  a  v.'ise  ntvan  =  or  a  fool  \  yet  shall 
lie  have  rule  over  all  my  labour  where- 
in I  have  laboured,  and  wherein  1  have 
shewed  myself  wise  under  the  sun. 
This  is  also  ^  vanity. 

20  Therefore  I  went  about  to  cause 
my  heart  «■  to  despair  of  all  the  labour 
which  I  took  under  the  sun. 

21  For  there  is  a  roan  whose  labours 
in  wisdom,  and  in  knowledge,  and  in 
equity  ?  yet  to  a  man  that  h'alh  not  la- 
boured therein  shall  he  f  leave  it/c/r  his 
portion.  This  also  is  vanity,  and  a  great 
evil. 

22  For  what  hath  man  of  s  all  his  la- 
bour, and  of  the  vexation  of  his  heart 
wherein  he  hath  laboared  under  the 
sun  ? 

23  For  ^  all  his  days  are  sorrows, 
and  his  travail  grief;  yea,  his  heart 
taketh  not  ■  rest  in  the  night.  Tiiis  is 
also  vanity. 

24^  There  is  nothing  better  for  a  man 
than  that  he  should  eat  and  di-ink,  and 
that  he  should  make  liis  soul  enjoy 
good  in  his  labour.  This  also  I  saw 
that  it  was  i^from  the  hand  of  God. 

25  For  who  can  eat,  or  who  else  can 
hasten  hereunto  mote  than  I  ? 

2Q  For  God  giveth  to  a  man  that  is  ' 
good  in  his  sight,  wisdom,  and  know- 
ledge, and  joy  :  but  to  the  '^'  sinner  he 
giveth  travail,  to  gather,  and  to  heap  up, 
that  he  m.ay  give  to  him  that  is  good  " 
before  God.  This  also  is  vanity  and 
vexation  of  spirit.

10  I  have  °  seen  tlia  travail  which 
God  hatli  given  to  liie  sons  of  men  to  be 
exercised  in  it. 

Up  He  hath  made  every  thing  beau- 
tiful in  his  time  :  also  he  hath  set  the 
world  in  their  heart ;  so  that  no  man  can 
q  find  out  the  work  that  God  maketh 
from  the  beginning  to  tiie  end. 

12  I  know  th:it  there  is  no  good  ^  in 
them,  but  for  a  man  to  rejoice,  and  to 
do  good  in  his  li!e. 

13  And  also  that  every  man  should  ^ 
eat  and  drink,  and  enjoy  the  good  of  all 
his  labour,  it  is  the  gift  of  God. 

14  I  kiiov/  that  whatsoever  God  do-

be  put  to  it.  nor  any  thing  taken  from 
it  ;  and  God  doeth  />,  that  Vien  should 
fear  before  him. 

15  That  which  hath  been  is  now  ;  and 
that  which  ^  is  to  be  hath  already  been  : 
and  God  requireth  that  which  is  past. 

16  «[  And,  moreover,  I  saw  under  the 
sun  the  place  of  judgment,  that  y  wick,

2  Be  not  rash  with  tliy  mouth,  and 
let  not  thine  heart  be  hasiy  to  utter  any 
thing-  before  God ;  for  God  is  in  heaven, 
and  thou  upon  "^  eartli :  therefore  let  th\ 
words  be  <*  i'ew. 

3  For  a  dream  cometh  through  the 
multitude  of  business  ;  and  =  a  fool's 
voice  is  knovcn  by  multitude  of  words. 

4  When  thou  f  vowest  a  vow  unto 
God,  defei;  not  g  to  pay  it ;  for  lie  hatii 
no  pleasure  in  fools :  pay  that  which  thou 
hast  vowed. 

5  Better  is  it  that  thou  shouldst  '>  not 
vow,  than  that  Ihou  shoQldst  vow,  and 
not  pay. 

6  Suffer  not  thy  mouth  to  cause  thy 
flesh  to  sin  ;  neither  say  thou  before  the 
■  angel,  that  it  xi-i:s  an  error  :  wherefore 
should  God  be  >■■  angry  at  thy  voice,  and 
destroy  the  work  of  thine  hands  ? 

7  For  in  the  multitude  of  dreams  and 
many  words  theie  are  also  diverse  vani- 
ties ;  but '  fear  thou  God. 

8  %  If  thou  seest  the  oppression  of  the 
poor,  and  violent  perverting  of  j  udgment 
and  justice  in  a  province,  marvel  not  at 
the  matter:  for  he  that  is  higher  than 

fn  Psalm  the  highest  ■"  regardeth;  and  there  b»  " 
12.  5.        higher  tlian  they. 

9  ^Moreover,  the  profit  cf  the  earth 
is  far  all :  the  king  himself  °  is  served 
by  the  field. 

10  He  that  p  lovetli  silver  shall  i  not 
be  satisfied  with  silver ;  nor  he  that  lov- 
eth  abundance  with  increase.  This  is 
also  vanity. 

11  When  goods  increase,  they  are  in- 
^iKings  creased  that  eat  them  :  and  what  good 
21.  6.        is  there  to  the  ■■  owners  thereof,  saving 

the  beholding  iffthejii  with  their  eyes  .' 

12  The  -  sleep  of  a  labouring  man  is 
sweet,  whether  he  eat  little  or  much  : 
but  the  abundance  of  the  rich  will  not 

*  Psalm    suffer  him  to  sleep. 
127.  a.  JO  There  is  a  sore  evil  luhick  I  have 

ti  Kings  seen  under  the   sun,  namely,   ^  riches 
21-  4.        kept  for  the  owners   thereof  to   their 
hurt. 

14  But  those  riches  perish  by  evil  tra- 
vail ;  and  he  begettetli  a  son,  and  there 
is  nothing  in  his  hand. 

15  "  As  he  came  forth  of  iiis  mother's 
womb,  X  naked  shall  he  return  to  go  as 
he  came,  and  shall  take  nothing  of  his 
labour,  which  he  may  carry  away  in  his 
band. 

16  And  this  also  is  a  sore  evil,  that  in 
all  points  as  he  came  so  shall  he  go  :  and 
what  profit  hath  he  that  hath  laboured 
for  the  wind  I 

17  All  his  days  also  he  eateth  in  y 
darkness,  and  he  hath  much  ''■  sorrow  and 
wrath  with  his  sickness.

it  is  good  and  comely j'^^r  or.e  to  eat  and

3  ^  Sorrow  is  better  than  laughter  : 
for  by  the  sadness  of  the  countenance 
th'j  heart  is  made  belter. 

4  The  f  heart  of  the  wise  is  in  the  ?

5  It  is  better  to  hear  tiie  ''  rebuke  of

11 II  Wisdom  is  r  good  with  an  inhe-

of  knowledge  is,  that  wisdom  givetli  life 
to  them  tliat  have  it.

who  can  make  that  '  straight  which  he

28.47,43.  Qo(j  also  hath  set  the  one  over  against 
the  other,  to  the  end  that  man  should 
find  nothing  after  him. 

15  All  things  have  I  seen  in  the  days 
of  my  vanity  :  there  is  a  just  onan  that 

.\  1  Kings  i*  perisheth  in   his  righteousness,    and 

21-  if,  there  is  a  wicked  man  that  y  prolongeth

sliouldcst  thou  destroy  thyself 

17  Be  not  ''over-much  wicked,  neitlier

"^  before  thy  time  I 

18  It  is  good  that  thou  sliouldest  ^ 
take  hold  of  this  ;  yea,  also  from  this 
withdraw  not  thine  hand  :  for  he  tliat

19  Wisdom  '  strenglheneth  the  wise 
more  than  ten  miglity  men  which  are  in

23  U  All  this  have  I  '  proved  by  wis-

far  from  me. 

24  That  which  is  "  fiu'  off,  and  ex- 
ceeding o  deep,  who  can  find  it  out  ? 

25  I  applied  mine  heart  to  know, 
and  to  search,  .and  to  seek  out  wisdom, 
and  the  reason  of  things,  and  to  know 
the  wickedness  of  folly,  even  of  foolish- 
ness and  madness : 

26  And  p  I  find  more  bitter  than  death 
the  woman  whose  heart  1  is  snares  and 
nets,  and  her  hands  as  bands  :  whoso  ' 
pleaseth  God  shall  escape  from  her; 
but  the  sinner  shall  be  taken  by  her. 

27  Behold,  this  have  I  found  (saith 
the  Preacher)  counting  one  by  one  to 
find  out  the  account ; 

28  Which  yet  my  soul  seeketh,  but 

1  find  not :  '  one  man  among  a  thousand 
have  I  fiiund;  but  ^  a  woman  among  all 
those  have  I  not  found.

CHAP.  VIII. 

2  Kings  are  greatly  to  be  respected.  6  The 
divine  providence  is  to  be  observed.  12 
The  happy  state  of  those  that  fear 
God.  16  TIxe  voork  of  God  is  un- 
searchable. 

WHO  is  as  the  ^wise  rnan?  and 
who  knoweth  the  interpretation  of  a 
thing?  a  man's  wisdom  maketh  ''  his  face 
to  shine,  and  the  boldness  of  his  face 
shall  be  changed. 

2  I  counsel  thee  to  keep  the  king's 
commandment,  and  that  in  regard  of  the 
•^  oath  of  God. 

3  fi  Be  not  hasty  to  go  out  of  his  sight : 
stand  not  in  an  evil  tiling  ;  for  he  doeth 
<^  whatsoever  pleaseth  him. 

4  Where  the  word  of  a  king  is,  there 
is  power ;  and  whs  may  say  unto  him,  ^ 
What  doest  thou? 

5  Whoso  skeepeth  the  commandment 
shall  feel  no  evil  thing;  and  a  wise  man's 
heart  discerneth  both  '>  time  and  judg- 
ment. 

6  ^  Because  to  every  purpose  there  is 
time  and  judgment ;  therefore  the  '  mi- 
sery of  man  is  great  upon  him. 

7  For  he  ^  knoweth  not  that  which 
shall  be:  for  who  can  tell  him  when  it 
shall  be  ? 

8  There  is  no  man  that  hath  power 
over  the  spirit  to  retain  the  spirit;  nei- 
ther hath  he  power  in  the  '  day  of  death  : 
and  there  is  no  discharge  in  tliat  war, 
neither  shall  wickedness  deliver  those 
that  are  given  to  it. 

9  All  this  have  I  seen,  and  applied 
my  heart  unto  every  work  that  is  done 
under  the  sun  :  there  is  a  time  wherein 
one  man  ruleth  over  another  to  his  '" 
.vxn  hurt. 

10  And  so  I  saw  the  vwicked  "  buried,

gotten   in  the   city  where  they  had  so 
done.     This  is  also  vanity. 

11  Because  sentence  aj^ainst  an  evil 
work  is  not  executed  speedily,  tlierefore 
1  t!ie  heart  of  the  sons  of  men  is  fully 
set  in  tliem  to  do  evil. 

12  ^  Thougli  a  sinner  do  evil  an  hun- 
dred ■■  times,  and  his  days  be  prolonged, 
yet  surely  I  know  that  it  siiall  be  ^  "well 
with  them  that  fear  God,  which  fear  be- 
fore him  : 

13  But  it  shall  t  not  be  well  with  the 
wicked,  neither  shall  he  prolong  his 
davs,  'which  are  as  a  shadow  ;  because 
lie  feareth  not  before  God. 

14  There  is  a  vanity  which  is  done 
upon  the  earth  ;  that  there  be  just  men, 
unto  whom  it  happeneth  according-  to 
the  ''•  work  of  the  wicked:  again,  there 
be  wicked  men,  to  whom  it  happeneth 
according  to  the  "  work  of  the  righteous. 
I  said,  that  this  also  is  vanity. 

15  Then  I  commended  mirth,  be- 
cause a  man  hath  no  better  thing  under 
the  sun,  than  y  to  eat,  and  to  drink,  and 
to  be  merry  ;  for  that  shall  abide  with 
him  of  his  labour  the  days  of  his  life, 
which  God  giveth  him  under  the  sun. 

16  ^  When  I  apphed  mine  heart  to 
know  wisdom,  and  to  see  the  business 
that  is  done  upon  tiie  earth :  (for  also 
there  is  that  neither  ^  day  nor  night  seeth 
sleep  with  his  eyes:) 

17  Then  I  beheld  »  all  the  work  of 
God,  that  a  man  cannot  find  out  the 
work  that  is  done  under  the  sun ;  be- 
cause though  a  man  labour  to  seek  it 
out,  yet  he  shall  ^  not  find  it ,-  yea,  fur- 
ther, though  a  wise  man  think  to  know 
it,  yet  shall  he  not  be  able  to  find  it.

FOR  all  this  Iconsidered  in  my  heart, 
even  » to  declare  all  this,  that  the  righte- 
ous, and  the  wise,  and  their  works,  are 
in  the  hand  of  God  :   no  man  ^  know'eth 
either  love  or  hatred  by  all  that  is  before 
them. 

2  All  things  come  alike  to  all :  there  is 
"  one  event  to  the  righteous  and  to  the 
wicked  ;  to  the  good,  and  to  the  clean, 
and  to  the  unclean  ;  to  him  that  sacri- 
ficetl),  and  to  him  that  sacrificeth  not : 
as  is  the  good,  so  is  the  sinner ;  and  he 
that  swearelb,  as  he  that  feareth  an 
oath. 

3  This  is  an  evil  among  all  things  that 
are  done  under  the  sun,  that  there  is  one 
event  unto  all :  yea,  also  the  heart  of  the 
sons  of  men  is  full  of  evil,  and  f  madness 
is  in  their  heart  while  they  live,  and  af- 
ter that  they  go  to  tlie  dead. 

4  ^  For  to  him  that  is  joined  to  all  the 
living  there  is  liope :  for  -i  a  living  dog 
IS  better  than  a  dead  lion. 

5  For  the  living  e  k^ow  that  they  shall 
die :  but  the  dead  *'  know  not  any  thing, 


neither  have  they  any  more  a  b  reward ;    Before

in  thy  labour  which  thou  takest  under

10  Whatsoever  thy  hand  findeth  to 

do,  do  it  with  "  thy  miglit ;  for  there  is  «  1  Cor,

11  II I  returned,  and  saw  under  the

men  of  understanding-,  nor  yet  iavour  to  ^  ^'^esai. 
men  of  skill;  but  time  and  chance  hap-    '  " 
peneth  to  them  all. 

12  For  man  also  knoweth  not  his 
time :  as  the  fishes  that  are  taken  in  an 
evil  net,  and  as  the  birds  that  are  caught 

in  the  snare  ;  so  are  the  sons  of  men  '  ''„^^^^~ 
snared  in  an  evil  time,  when  it  falleth  ^ 
suddenly  upon  them. 

13  ^  This  wisdom  have  I  seen  also 
wnder  the  sun,  and  it  seemed  great  unto 
me: 

14  There  ivas  a  httle  '  r.ity,  and  few  '2  Sam. 
men  within  it ;  and  there  came  "  a  great  o  kIucs 
king  against  if,   and   besieged  it,  and  T.  i. 
built  great  bulwarks  against  it :  ^'  i^Pctw 

15  Now  there  was  found  ink  "a poor  a; Mat. 
wise  man,  and  he  vby  his  wisdom  deli-  8-20. 
vered  the  city  ;  yet  no  man  ^  remem-  jif  "1^ " 
bered  that  same  poor  man.  xfsaiah 

16  Then  said  I,  Wisdom  ^  is  better  ^\^', 
than  strength:    nevertheless  the  poor  20. 12, 1's, 
mr.n's  wisdom  ii  despised,  and  his  words  Prov.

THE    a  Song  of  songs,  which  is 
Solomon's. 

2  Let  ^  him  kiss  me  with  the  kisses  of 
his  mouth  :  for  thy  <:  love  is  better  than 
wine. 

o  Because  of  the  ^  savour  of  thy  good 
ointments,  thy  ^  name  is  as  ointment 
p:)nred  forth,  therefore  do  the  virgins 
love  thee. 

4  Draw  me,  we  will  f  run  after  thee. 
The  King  hath  brought  me  uito  his  g 
chambers  ;  we  will  be  glad  and  rejoice 
in  ihee ;  we  will  remember  thy  love 
more  than  wine :  the  upright  love  thee. 

5  ^  I  ani,  black,  but  ''  comely,  O  ye 
daughters  of  Jerusalem  ;  as  the  tents 
of  Kedar,  as  (he  curtains  of  Solomon. 

6  Look  not  upon  me,  because  I  am  ' 
black,  because  the  s\m  hath  looked 
upon  rae  ;  my  ^  mother's  children  were 
angry  with  me;  they  made  me  the  keep- 
er of  the  vineyards ;  but  mine  own  vine- 
\ard  have  I  not  kept. 

7  Tell  m.°;  O  thou  whom  my  soul  lov- 
eth,  where  thou  '  feedest,  where  thou 
makest  thy  jlock  to  rest  at  noon  :  for 
why  should  I  be  as  one  that  turneth  a- 
side  by  the  docks  of  thy  companions  ? 

8  If  If  tliou  know  not,  O  t!iou  fairest 
among  women,  go  thy  way  forth  by  the 
'"  footsteps  of  the  flock,  and  feed  tliy 
kids  beside  the  shepherds'  tents. 

9  I  have  compared  thee,  O  «  my  love, 
to  a  company  of  horses  in  Piiaraoh's  <j 
chariots. 

10  Th}  cheeks  are  comely  with  rous 
ofjeixiels.  thy  neck  with  r  c'nains  of  gold. 

Ill  We  will  make  thee  borders  of 
gold  wi:h  studs  of  silver. 

12  If  While  the  king  sitteth  at  his  ' 
table,  my  spikenard  sendg:tii  ivrth  the 
smell  thereof. 


13  A  bundle  of  myrrh  is  my  well-be- 
loved unto  me ;  he  shall  lie  all  night  « 
betwixt  my  breasts. 

14  My  beloved  is  unto  me  as  a  cluster

15  Behold,  thou  art  f?.ir,  my  love  ;

is  the  voice  of  my  beloved  that ''  knock- 
elh,  saying.  Open  to  me,  my  sister,  my

'head  is   filled  with  dew,  and  my  locks

10  My  beloved  is  "  while  and  ruddy, 
the  o  chiefest  among  ten  thousand. 

11  His  head  /*  as  the  most  fine  gold  ; 
his  locks  are  bushy,  and  p  black  as  a

12  His  eyes  are  as  the  eyes  of  i  doves

13  His  cl>eeks  are  as  a  bed  of  spices, 
as  sweet  flowers  ;  his  lips  ///e  lilies, 
dropping  ^  sweet-smelling  m}  rrh  : 

14  His  hands  are  as  gold  rings  set 
with  the  beryl;  his  '  belly  is  as  bright

15  His  '  legs  are  as  pillars  of  marble 
set  upon  sockets  of  fine  gold ;  his  coun-

13  Bring  no  more  °  vain  oblations  ; 
incense  is  an  abomination  unto  me ;  the 
new-moons  and  sabbaths,  the  calling  of 

x  Psalm   assemblies,  "  I  cannot  away  with  ;  it  is 
^'  ^^'      iniquity,  even  the  solemn  meeting.

white  as  snow  ;  thougli  they  be  red  like 
crimson,  theysl*all  be  as  woil. 

19  If  ye  be  willing  and  obedient,  ye 
shall  eat  the  good  of  the  hmd  ; 

20  But  if  ye  refuse  and  rebel,  ye 
shall  be  devoured  with  the  sw  ord  ;  for 
the  '•  mouth  of  the  Lord  hath  spoken 
it. 

21  ^  How  is  ''  the  fiiithful  city  become 
•^  an  harlot !  it  was  full  of  judgment ; 
righteousness  lodged  in  it  ;  but  now  '

CHAP.  V. 

1  God  excuseth  his  severe  judgments  :  8 
his  judgments  upon  covetousness,  18 
impiety,  20  and  injustice. 

NOW  will  I  sing  to  my  »  well-be- 
loved  a  song  of  my  beloved  touching 
his  ''  vineyard.  My  well-beloved  hath  a 
vineyard  in  a  very  fruitful  hill  : 

2  And  he  fenced  it,  and  gathered 
out  the  stones  thereof,  and  planted  it 
with  the  choicest  vine,  and  built  a  cow- 
er in  the  midst  of  it,  and  also  made  a 
winepress  therein  :  and  he  "^looked that 
it  should  bring  forth  grapes,  and  it 
brought  forth  "^  wild  grapes. 

3  And  now,  O  inhabitants  of  Jerusa- 
lem, and  men  of  Judah,  ^  judge,!  pray 
you,  betwixt  me  and  my  vineyard. 

4  What  could  have  been  done  more 
to  my  vineyard  'that  I  have  not  done 
in  it ;  wherefore,  when  I  looked  that  i' 
should  bring  forth  grapes,  brouglit  !c 
forth  wild  grapes  \ 

5  And  now,  go  to  ;  I  will  tell  y>)U 
v/hat  I  will  do   to  my  vineyard  :  I  will 


g  take  a  way  the  hedge  thereof,  and  it    Before 
shall  be  eaten  up ;   and  break  down  the  '^jr^ygo^ 
wall   thereof,  and   it  shall  dc  trodden  i^^J^^^-o 
down.  g  Deut. 

6  And  I  will  lay  it  ''  waste  :    it  shall  32-  39. 
not  be  '  pruned  nor  digged  ;  but  there  l^^j^^ 
shall  come  up  briers  and  thorns  :  I  wili  Amos 
also  command  the  clouds  that  they  rain  ^•^• 
no  rain  upon  it.  23.  49,*^'

7  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  It  shall 
^  not  stand,  neither  shaJl  it  come  to

the  heiglil  above. 

12  But  Ahaz  said,  I  will  not  ask,  nei- 
ther will  1 1  tempt  the  Lord. 

13  And  he  said,  Hear  ye  now,  O 
house  of  David,  Is  it  a  small  thing  fur 
you  to  s  weary  men,  but  will  ye  weary 
my  God  also  I

the  y  land  that  thou  ubliorrest  shall  be 
forsaken  (jf  both  her  kings.

5  They  come  from  a  !<  far  country, 
from  tlie  end  of  heaven,  piie?ilhe  Lord, 
aad  the  '  weapons  of  his  indignation,  to 
destroy  the  whole  land. 

6  If '"  Howl  ye,  for  the  "  day  of  the 
Lord  is3.t  hand;  it  shall  come  as  a  des- 
truction from  the  Aimightj'^. 

7  Therefore  shall  all  hands  be  faint, 
and  eveiy  man's  heart  shall  melt: 

8  And  they  shall  be  afraid;  pangs  andf 
sm-rows  shall  take  hold  of  them  ;  they 
si'all  be  in  pain  as  a  °  woman  that  tra-

9  Beiiold,  the  day  of  the  Lord  com- 
eth,  1  cruel  both  with  wrath  and  fierce 
anger,  to  lay  the  land  desolate;  and  he 
Siiall  destroy  the  sinners  thereof  '  out

10  For  the  =  stars  of  heaven,  and  the 
constellations  thereof,  shall  not  give 
their  light :  the  sun  shall  be  darkened  in 
his  going  forth,  and  the  moon  shall  not 
cause  her  hght  to  shine. 

11  And  I  will  punish  the  '  world  for 
14.16,19.  j,/,g^y  g^ij^  and  the  wicked  for  their  ini-

16  Their  children  also  shall  be  ^  dash-

17  Bshold,  I  will  stir  up  the  <^Meues

A  type  prefiguring  the  shameful  captivity 
of  Egypt  and  Ethiopia. 
IN  the  year  that  »  Tartan  came  un- 
to Aslidod  (when  Sargon  the  king  of 
Assyria  sent  him)  and  fought  against 
Ashdod,  and  took  it ; 

2  At  the  same  time  spake  the  Lord 
by  Isaiah,  the  son  of  Amnz,  sa\ing. 
Go.  and  loose  the  •>  sackcloth  from  oft' 
thy  loins,  and  put  off  thy  shoe  from  thy 
foot.  And  he  ^  did  so,  walking  naked 
and  barefoot. 

3  And  the  Lord  said.  Like  as  my 
servant  Isaiah  hath  walked  nal^gd  and 
barefoot  three  years  for  a  ^  si|^  and 
wonder  upon  Egypt,  and  upon  Ethiopia ; 

4  So  shall  the  king  of  Assyria  lead 
away  the  Egyptians  pri<;oners,  and  the 
Ethiopians  captives,  young  and  old, 
naked  and  barefoot, even  with  f^ezV '^but- 
tocks uncovered,  to  the  shame  of  Egypt. 

5  And  (hey  shall  be  f  afraid  and  asha- 
med of  Ethio|)ia  their  g  expectation,  and 
of  Egypt  their  glry. 

6  And  the  inhabitant  of  this  isle  shall 
say  in  that  day.  Behold,  such  is  our  ex- 
pertation,  whither  we  flee  for  help  to  be 
delivered  frum  the  king  of  Assyria :  and 
how  shall  we  escape  ?

God's  judgment  on  Jerusalem :  ISAIAH 

16^  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 


The  Jeivs  senselessness,  &.c. 


Before 

cir.  725.  God,  Bchold,  <•  I  lay  in  Zion  for  a  =  foun- 
dation a  stone,  a  tried  stone  ;  a  f  preci- 
ous corner-ffo?2e,  a  sure  foundation  :  he 
that  believeth  shall  s  not  "make  haste. 

1711  Judgment  also  will  I  lay  to  the 
line,  and  '•  righteousness  to  the  plum- 
met ;  and  the  hail  shall  sweep  away  the 
112.  7,  8.  refuge  of  lies,  and  the   waters  shall  o- 
h  Rev.     verflow  the  hiding-place. 

13  And  your  covenant  with  death 
shall  be  disannulled,  and  your  agree- 
ment with  hell  shall  not  stand  ;  when 
the  overflowing  scourge  shall  pass 
through,  then  ye  shall  be  ■  trodden 
down  by  it. 

19  h  From  the  time  that  it  goeth  forth 
it  shall  take  you  :  for  morning  hy  morn- 
ing shall  it  pass  over,  b)-  day  and  by 
night  ;  and  it  shall  be  a  vexation  only  to 
understand  the  report. 

20  For  the  bed  is  i  shorter  than  that 
59.  5.  ^  tnan  can  stretch  himself  on  it ,-  and 
tB  Jer.  the  ™  covering  narrower  than  that  he 
iTim      can  wrap  himself  z«  u'. 

3.  5.  '  21  For  the  Lord  shall  rise  up  as  in 
n  2  Sam,  n  mount  Perazim,  he  shall  be  wroth  as 
c'joshca  '"  ^^^  valley  of  «  Gibeon,  that  he  may  do 
bis  work,  his  p  strange  work;  and 
bring  to  pass  his  act,  his  strange  act. 

22  Now,  tlierefoi'e,  be  ye  not  i  mock- 
ers, lest  your  ^  bands  be  made  strong  : 
for  I  have  heard  from  the  Lord  God 
of  hosts  a  consumption,  even  determin- 
ed upon  the  «  whole  earth.

25  When  he  hath  made  plain  the  face 
thereof,  doth  he  not  cast  abroad  the

cast  in  the  principal  wheat,  and  the

discretion,  and  doth  teach  him. 

27  For  the  fitches  are  not  "  threshed 
with  a  threshing  instrument,  neither  is  a 
cart-wheel  turned  about  upon  the  cum- 
min ;  but  the  fitches  are  beaten  out  with 
a  staff,  and  the  cummin  with  a  rod.

will  not  ever  be  >'  threshing  it,  nor  break

15  Woe  unto  tbem  that  seek  "  deep 
to  hide  their  counsel  from  the  Lord, 
and  their  works  are  in  the  dark,  and 
they  say,  y  Who  seeth  us  \  and  who 
kiiovvetiius  ? 

16  Sarely  your  ^  turning  of  things 
upside  down  shall  be  esteemed  as  the 
potter's  clay  :  for  shall  the  work  » say 
of  him  that  made  it.  He  made  me  not  ? 
or  shall  the  thmg  framed  say  of  him 
that  framed  it.  He  had  no  understand- 
ing ? 

17  ^  Is  it  not  yet  a  very  little  while, 
and  b  Lebanon  shall  be  turned  into  a 
fruitful  field,  and  the  fruitful  field  shall 
be  ■=  esteemed  as  a  forest  ? 

18  ^  And  in  that  day  shall  the  ^  deaf 
hear  tlie  words  of  the  *■  book,  and  the  f 
eyes  of  the  blind  shall  see  out  of  obscuri- 
ty, and  out  of  darkness. 

19  The  meek  also  shall  increase  fAe/r 
joy  in  the  Lord,  and  the  e  poor  among 
men  shall  rejoice  in  the  holy  One  of 
Israel. 

20  For  the  !'  terrible  one  is  brought 
to  nought,  and  the  scrrner  is  consumed, 
and  all  that  '  watch  for  iniquity  are  cut 
oft': 

21  That  make  a  man  an  offender  k 
for  a  word,  and  lay  a  snare  for  him  that 
'  reproveth  in  the  gate,  and  turn  aside 
the  just  for  a  thing  of  nought. 

22  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
who  ™  redeemed  Abraham,  concerning 
the  house  of  Jacob,  Jacob  shall  not  now 
be  "  ashamed,  neither  shall  his  face  now 
wax  pale. 

23  But  when  he  seeth  his  "  children, 
the  p  work  of  mine  hands,  in  the  midst 
of  him,  they  shall  sanctify  my  name, 
and  sanctify  the  holy  One  of  Jacob,  and 
shall  fear  the  God  of  Israel. 

24  They  also  that  erred  in  spirit  shall 
come  to  understanding,  and  they  that  <3 
murmured  shall  r  learn  doctrixie.

1  The  people  threatened  for  their   cotifi- 
dence  in    Egypt,   8   and  contempt  of 
God's  viord.     18  God's  inercies  to  his 
church, 

WOE  to  the  rebellious  children, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  » take  counsel,  but 
not  of  me ;  and  that  cover  with  a  cover- 
ing, but  not  of  my  Spirit,  that  they  may 
^  add  sin  to  sin : 

2  That  walk  to  '^  go  down  into  Egypt, 
and  have  not  ''  asked  at  my  mouth  ;  to 
strengthen  themselves  in  the  strength 
of  Pharaoh,  and  to  trust  in  the  shadow 
of  Egypt. 

3  Therefore  shall  the  "  strength  of 
Pharaoh  be  your  '"  shame,  and  the  trust 
in  the  shadow  of  Egypt  j'our  confusion. 

4  For  his  ^princes  were  at  ^  Zoan, 
and  his  ambassadors  came  to  Hanes. 

5  They  were  all  ashamed  of  a  people 
that  could  not  ■  profit  them,  nor  be  an 
help  nor  profit,  but  a  shame,  and  also  a 
reproach. 


6  The  burden  of  the  ^  beasts  of  the 
south  :  into  the  'land  of  trouble  and  an- 
guish, from  whence  come  '"the  young 
and  old  lion,  the  viper  and  fiery  flying 
serpent,  they  will  carry  their  riches  up- 
on the  shoulders  of  young  asses,  and 
their  treasures  upon  the  bunches  of  ca- 
mels, to  a  people  that  shall  not  profit 
thein. 

7  For  the  Egyptians  shall  help  in  " 
vain,  and  to  no  purpose  :  therefore  have 
I  cried  concerning  this,  Their  strength 
is  °  to  sit  still. 

8  II  Now  go,  write  it  before  them  in  a 
table,  and  note  it  in  p  a  book,  that  it  may 
be  for  the  time  to  come  for  ever  and 
evei". 

9  That  this  is  a  ^  rebellious  people, 
'  lying  children,  children  that  will  not 
hear  the  law  of  the  Lord  : 

10  Which  say  to  the  seers,  '  See  not ; 
and  to  the  prophets.  Prophesy  not  unto 
us  r  right  things ;  speak  unto  us  »  smooth 
things,  prophesy  "  deceits  : 

11  Get  you  y  out  of  the  way,  turn  a- 
side  cut  of  the  path,  cause  the  holy  One 
of  Israel  to  cease  from  before  us. 

,12  Wherefore  thus  saith  the  holy 
One  of  Israel,  Because  ye  despise  this 
word,  and  trust  in  oppression  and  per- 
verseness,  and  stay  thereon  ; 

13  Therefore  this  iniquity  shall  be  to 
you  as  a  breach  ready  to  full,  swelling 
out  in  a  high  wall,  whose  breaking 
cometh  suddenly  at  an  instant. 

14  And  he  shall  break  it  as  the  break- 
ing of  the  potter's  vessel  that  is  broken 
in  pieces  ;  he  shall  ^  not  spare  :  so  that 
there  shall  not  be  found  in  the  bursting 
of  it  3  a  sherd  to  take  fire  from  the 
hearth,  or  to  take  water  ivithal  out  of 
the  pit. 

15  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  the 
holy  One  of  Israel,  ^  In  returning  and 
rest  shall  ye  be  saved  ;  in  quietness  and 
in  <:  confidence  shall  be  your  strength  ; 
and  ''  ye  would  not. 

16  But  ye  said,  «  No  ;  for  we  will  flee 
upon  horses  ;  therefore  shall  ye  flee  ; 
and.  We  will  ride  upon  the  swift; 
therefore  shall  they  that  pursue  you  be 
swift. 

17  f  One  thousand  shall  fiee  at  the  re- 
buke of  one  :  at  the  rebuke  of  five  shall 
ye  flee  ;  till  ye  be  left  as  a  beacon  upon 
the  top  of  a  mountain,  and  as  an  ensiga 
on  an  hill. 

18  *\  And  therefore  will  the  Lord  s 
wait  tiiat  he  may  be  gracious  unto  you  ;

God  wjVA  a  recompence  ;  he  will  come 
and  =  save  you. 

5  Then  the  eyes  of  the  blind  sh.iU  be 
f  opened,  and  the  ears  of  the  deaf  shall 
be  g  unstopped : 

6  Then  shall  the  lame  tnan  leap  as  an

for  in  the  wilderness  ■  shall  waters  break 
out,  and  streams  in  the  desert.

CHAP.  XXXVI. 
1  Sennacherib  invadeth  yudah.    13  Rab- 
shaieh's  blasphemous  persuasion  to  the 
people:  22  his  words  told  to  Hezekiah. 
NOW  it  came  to  pass,  in  the  » four- 
teenth year  of  king  Hezekiah,  that  Sen- 
nacherib  king  of  Assyria  came  up  a- 
gainst  all  the  ''defenced  cities  of  Judah, 
and  took  them. 

2  ^  And  the  king  of  Assyria  sent  Rab- 
shakeh  from  '  Lachish  to  Jerusalem, 
unto  king  Hezekiah,  with  a  f  great 
army  :  and  he  stood  by  the  conduit  of 
the  d  upper  pool,  in  the  highway  of  the 
fuller's  field. 

3  Then  came  forth  unto  him  Eliakim, 
Hilkiah's  son,  which  was  over  the  house, 
and  Shebna  the  scribe,  and  Joah,  A- 
saph's  son,  the  recorder. 

4  And  Rabshakeh  said  unto  them, 
Say  ye  now  to  Hezekiah,  Thus  saith  the 
« great  kin_^,  the  king- of  Assyria,  *'  Wh.at 
confidence  is  this  wherein  thou  trust- 
est? 

5  I  say,  sayest  thou  (but  they  are  but 
vain  words)  I  have  counsel  and  strength 
for  war  :  now,  on  whom  dost  thou  trust, 
that  thou  ?  rebellest  against  me  ? 

6  Lo,  thou  trustest  in  the  h  staff  of 
this  broken  reed,  on  Egypt ;  whereon  if 
a  iTian  lean,  it  will  go  into  his  hand,  and 
pierce  it :  so  is  Piiaraoh  king  of  Egypt 
to  all  that  '  triist  in  him. 

7  But  if  thou  say  to  me,  We  trust  in 
the  Lord  our  God  :  is  it  not  he  whose  ^ 
high  places  and  whose  altars  Hezekiah 
halh  taken  av\av,  and  said  to  Judah  and 
to  Jerusalem,  Ye  shall  worship  before  ' 
this  altar  ? 


8  Now,  therefore,  give  pledges,  I  pray 
thee,  to  my  master  the  king- of  Assyria, 
and  I  will  give  thee  ™  two  thousand 
horses,  if  thou  be  able  on  thy  part  to  set 
riders  upon  them. 

9  How  then  wilt  Jhou  turn  away  the 
"  face  of  one  captain  of  the  least  of  my 
master's  servants,  and  put  ihy  trust  "  >r; 
Egyp,.  for  chariots  and  for  horsemen  ? 

10  And  an^  I  now  come  Pup  withou, 
the  Lord  against  this  land  lo  destroy 
it  ?  1  The  Lord  said  unto  me,  Go  up  a- 
gainst  this  land,  and  destroy  it. 

11  Then  said  Eliakim,  and  Shebna, 
a.id  Joah,  unto  Rabshakeh,  Speak,  i 
pray  thee,  unto  thy  servants  in  the  Sy- 
rian language;  i'or  we  understand  it : 
an  1  speak  not  to  us  in  the  Jews'  lan- 
guage in  the  ears  of  the  people  that  are 
on  the  wall. 

12  ^But  Rabshakeh  said.  Hath  my 
master  sent  me  lo  thy  master  and  lo 
thee  to  speak  these  words  ?  hath  he  not 
sent  me  to  the  men  that  sit  upon  the 
wall,  that  they  may  ^  eat  their  own  dung, 
and  drink  their  own  piss  v/ith  you? 

13  *[[  Then  Rabsliakeh  stood,  and  « 
cried  with  a  loud  voice  in  the  Jews'  lan- 
guage, and  said,  Hear  ye  the  words  of 
the  great  king,  the  king  of  Assyria: 

14  Tiuis  saith  the  king,  Let  not  He- 
zekiah deceive  you;  for  he  '  shall  not 
be  able  to  deliver  you. 

15  Neither  lei  Hezekiah  make  you  " 
tj'ust  in  the  Lord,  saying,  The  Loud 
will  surely  deliver  us  :  this  city  shall  not 
be  delivered  into  the  hand  of  the  king 
of  Assyria. 

16  Hearken  not  to  Hezekiah ;  for 
thus  saith  the  king  of  Assyria,  Make  an 
agreement  with  me  by  a  present,  and  ^ 
come  out  to  me  :  and  eat  ye  every  one 
of  his  vine,  and  everyone  of  his  fig-tree, 
and  drink  ye  every  one  the  waters  of 
his  own  cistern  ; 

17  Until  I  come  and  y  take  you  away 
to  a  land  like  your  own  land,  ^  a  land 
of  corn  and  wine,  a  land  of  bread  and 
vineyards. 

18  Bev:are  lest  Hezekiah  persuade 
you,  saying,  ^The  Lord  will  deliver  us. 
Hath  any  of  the  ^  gods  of  the  nation.;; 
delivered  his  land  out  of  the  hand  of  th-. 
king  of  Assyria! 

19  Where  are  the  gods  of  Haniath 
and  Arphad  I  where  are  the  gods  of 
Sepharvaim  !  and  have  they  delivered 
Samaria  out  or  my  hand  .' 

20  Wlio  are  they  '^  among  all  the  gods 
of  these  lands  that  have  delivered  their 
land  out  of  my  hand,  that  the  Lord 
should  deliver  Jerusalem  out  of  my 
hand  ? 

21  But  they  ''  held  their  peace,  and 
answered  him  not  a  vvord:  for  the  king's 
commandment  was,  saying,  Answer  him 
r.ot. 

22  ^[  Then  came  Eliakim  the  son  of 
Hilkiah,  that  wtw  over  the  household,

CHAP.  XXXVII. 

1  HfZekiah,   in  deep  affliction,  sendeth  to 
Isaiah  to  pray  for  them-  &  Isaiah  cotn- 
forttth  them.    o'J  An   angel  destrojcth 
the  Assyrians.   2^  Sennacherib  slain. 
AND  it  came  to  pass,  when  king- 
Hezekiah  heurd    it,   that  he   rent   his 
clotiies,  and  covered  himself  with  sack- 
cloth, and  ^  went  into  the  house  of  the 
Lord. 

2  And  he  sent  Eliakim,  who  luaj  over 
the  houselvild,  and  Siiebna  the  scribe, 
and  th._-  elders  of  the  priests  covered 
wiL:i  sackcloth,  ''unto  Isaiah  the  pro- 
phet, the  son  of  Amoz. 

3  And  tiiey  saidunio  him.  Thus  saith 
Hezekiah,  This  dav  is  a  day  of '  trouble, 
and  of  rebuke,  and  of  blasphemy  :  for 
the  children  are  come  to  tiie  birth,  and 
there  is  not  strength  to  bring-  tbnh. 

4  It  may  be  the  Lord  thy  <i  God  will 
hear  tiie  words  of  Rabshakeh,  wh.mi 
tne  king-  ot"  Assyria  his  master  Iiath  sent 
to  «  reproach  the  living-  God,  and  will 
reprove  tlie  words  which  the  Lord  th\ 
GotI  hath  'heard:  wherefore  s  lift  up 
thy  prayer  f^r  the  ^  remnant  that  is  lefi. 

5  So  the  servants  of  king'  Hezekiah 
came  to  Isaiah. 

6  1[  And  Isaiah  said  unto  them,  Thus 
shall  \e  say  unto  your  master.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord,  Be  not  afraid  of  the 
words  that  thou  hast  heard,  wherewith 
the  servants  of  the  king  of  Assyria  have 
'  blasphemed  me. 

7  Behold,  I  will  send  a  blast  upon 
him  ;  and  he  shall  hear  a  rumour,  and  ^ 
return  to  his  own  land  ;  and  I  will  cause 
him  to  fall  by  the  '  sword  in  his  own  land. 

8  %  So  Rabshakeh  returned,  and  f  nind 
the  king  of  Assyria  w  arring-  against  Lib- 

Mar7."2.  nah  :  for  r.e  had  heard  that  he  was  de-

he  heard  it,  he  sent  messengers  to  He-

10  Thus  sliall  ye  speak  to  Hezekiah 
king  of  Judah,  saying.  Let  not  thy  Gid

11  Behold,  thou  h:ist  heard  what  the 
kings  of  Assyria  have  done  to  all  lands

The  resteration  of  Israe'. 


Before    the  begi;ining  ?  have  ve  not  understood 
CHRIST  fj.yj^  ^-^g  foundations'of  the  earth  ? 

22  It  is  he  that  sitteth  upon  the  cir- 
cle of  the  earth,  and  the  inhabitants 
thereof  are  as  grasshoppers;  that  !> 
stretcheth  out  the  hearens  as  a  curtain, 
and  spreadeth  them  out  as  a  tent  to 
dwell  in  ,- 

23  That  bringeth  the  i  princes  to  no- 
thing: he  n:\aketh  the  judges  of  the 
earth  as  vanity. 

24  Yea,  they  shall  not  be  planted  ; 
yea,  they  shall  not  be  sown  ;  yea,  their 
stock  shall  not  take  root  in  the  earth  : 
and  he  shall  also  ^  blow  upon  ihem,  and 
they  shall  »vither,  and  the  vphirl-wind 
shall  take  them  away  '  as  stubble. 

25  To  whom  then\vill  ye  ^  liken  me, 
or  shall  I  be  "  equal?  saith  the  holy 
One. 

26  Lift  up  your  eyes  on  high,  and  be- 
hold who  hath  created  these  things,  that 
bringeth  out  their  host  °  by  number : 
he  calleth  them  all  by  names,  by  the 
greatness  of  his  might,  for  that   he  is 

p  Judges  strong  in  power  ;  not  one  p  faileth. 

'  ""  2r  <5  Why  sayest  thou,  O  Jacob,  and 

speakest,  O  Israel,  My  way  ^  is  hid 
from  the  Lord,  and  my  '  judgment  is 
passed  over  from  my  God  ? 

28  ^  Hast  thou  not  known  ?  hast  thou 
not  '  heard,  that  the  everlasting  God, 
the  Loud,  the  Creator  of  the  ends  of 
the  earth,  "faintelh  not,  neither  is  wea- 
ry ?  there  is  "  no  searching  of  bis  un- 
derstanding. 

29  He  giveth  ^  power  to  the  y  faint ; 
and  to  them  that  have  no  might  he  in- 
creaseth  strength. 

30  Even  the  ^  youths  shall  faint  and 
be  weary,  and  the  young  men  shall  ut- 
terly fall. 

31  But  they  that  waitupon  the  Lord 
shall  =*  renew  their  strength  ;  they  shall 
mount  up  witli  wings  as  eagles  ;  they 
shall  run  and  not  be  weary,  and  they 
shall  walk  and  ^  not  faint.

1  The  Lord  comforteth  the  church  with 
his  promises  :  14  he  fortelleth  Baby- 
Idn^s  destruction^  18  and  his  people's 
deliverance,  &C. 

BUT  now,  thus  saith  the  Lord 
that  »  created  tbee,  O  Jacob,  and  he 
that  formed  thee,  O  Israel,  Fear  not ; 
for  I  have  redeemed  thee,  I  have  ^ 
called  thee  by  thy  name ;  thou  art  mine. 

2  When  thou  passest  through  the 
waters  I  viill  iewith  thee  ;  and  through 
the  rivers,  they  shall  not  overflow  thee  .- 
when  thou  walkest  tlirough  the  <:  fire 
thou  shalt  not  be  burnt ;  neither  shall 
the  flame  kindle  upon  thee. 

3  For  I  avi  the  Lord  thy  God,  the 
holy  One  of  Israel,  thy  Saviour;  <i  I 

n .  s.'and  gave  Egypt/or  thy  ransom,  Ethiopia  and 
^  Exod     ^eba  for  thee. 

4  Since  thou  wast  «  precious  in  my 
sight  thou  hast  been  honourable,  and  I 
have  loved  thee  :  therefore  will  I  give 
men  for  thee,  and  people  for  thy  life. 

5  Fear  not :  for  I  am  with  thee :  I 
will  bring  thy  seed  from  the  f  east,  and 
gather  thee  from  the  e  west ; 

6  I  will  say  to  the  '>  north,  '  Give  up  ; 
and  to  the  south,  ^  Keep  not  back: 
bring  my  sons  from  far,  and  my  daugh- 
ters from  the  ends  of  the  earth  ; 

7  Even  every  one  tliat  is  '  called  by 
my  name :  for  I  have  created  him  for 
">  my  glory,  I  have  formed  him ;  yea,  I 
have  made  him. 

8  1[ "  Bring  forth  the  blind  people  that 
have  eyes,  and  the  deaf  that  have  ears. 

9  Let  all  the  nations  be  gathered  to^ 
gether,  and  let  the  people  be  assem- 
bled: wli0  among  them  can  declare  this, 
and  shew  us  former  things .'  let  tliem 
bring  forth  their  witnesses,  that  they  may 
be  o  justified;  or  let  them  hear  and  say, 
It  is  truth. 

10  Ye  are  my  p  witnesses,  saith  the 
Lord,  and  my  servant  whom  I  have 
chosen  ;  that  ye  may  know  and  "3  believe 
me,  and  luiderstaad  that  I  am,  he:  be- 
fure  me  there  was  no  god  formed,  nei- 
ther shall  there  be  after  me.

OTTl  God. 

13  Yea,  before  the  day  vjas, '  I  am  he  ; 
and  there  is  none  that  can  deliver  out  of

surname  Imnself  by  the  name  of  Israel. 

6  Thus  saith  the  Lord  the  King  of 
Israel,  and  his  Redeemer  the  Lord  of 
hosts  ;  I  am  the  ■  first  and  I  am  the  last : 
and  besides  me  there  is  no  god.

shall  declare  it,  and  set  it  in  order  for 
me,  since  I  appointed  the  '  ancient  peo-

10  Who  hath  formed  a  god,  or  mol-

One  of  Israel,  and  his  Maker,  Ask  me 
of  things  to  come  concerning  my  sons ; 
and  concerning  the  work  of  my  hands 
'  command  ye  me. 

12  I  have  made  the  eardi,  '  and  cre- 
ated man  upon  it :  I,  even  my  hands, 
have  stretched  out  the  heavens,  and  aU 
their  host  have  I  commanded. 

13 '  I  have  raised  him  up  in  righteous- 
ness, and  I  will  direct  all  his  ways  :  he 
shall  build  my  city,  and  he  shall  let  go 
my  captives,  not  for  "  price  nor  reward, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

14  Tlius  saith  the  Lord,  The  labour 
of  Egypt,  and  merchandise  of  Ethiopia, 
and  of  the  Sabeans,  men  of  stature  shall 
"  come  over  y  unto  thee,  and  they  shall 
be  thine  :  they  shall  come  after  thee : 
in  chains  they  shall  come  over,  and  they 
shall  full  down  unto  thee  ;  they  shall 
make  supplication  unto  thee,  saying, 
Surely  God  is  in  lliee,  and  tliere  is  none 
else  i  there  is  no  god. 

15  Verily  thou  art  a  God  that  ^  liidest 
thyself,  O  God  of  Israel,  the  Saviour. 

16  They  shall  be  ashamed,  and  also 
confounded,  all  of  them  :  they  shall  go 
to  confusion  together  that  are  makers 
of  f  idols. 


17  But  Israel  shall  be  saved  in  the 
Lord  with  an  ^  everlasting  salvation  : 
ye  shall  not  be  ashamed  nor  confound- 
ed world  without  end. 

10  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  that  creat- 
ed the  heavens,  God  himself  that  formed 
the  earth,  and  made  it,  he  hath  esta- 
blished it,  he  created  it  not  in  vain,  he 
formed  it  to  be  ^  inhabited  ;  I  fl??^  the 
Lord,  and  there  is  none  else. 

19  1  have  not  spoken  in  secret,  "^  in  a 
dark  place  of  the  earth  :  I  said  not  unto 
the  seed  of  Jacob,  Seek  ye  me  <i  in 
vain:  I  the  Lord  speak  righteousness, 
I  declare  things  that  are  right. 

20  II  Assemble  yourselves  and  come ; 
draw  near  together,  ye  tliat  are  « escap- 
ed of  the  nations  :  they  have  no  know- 
ledge that  setup  the  wood  of  their  gra- 
ven image,  and  pray  unto  a  god  that  f 
carviot  save. 

21  Tell  ye,  and  bring  them  near:  yea, 
let  them  take  counsel  together:  who 
hath  declared  this  from  ancient  time  ? 
who  hath  told  it  from  that  time  ?  have 
not  1  the  Lord  ?  and  there  is  no  god  else 
besides  me»  a  just  God  and  a  Saviour: 
there  is  none  besides  me. 

22  Kl  i  Look  unto  me,  and  be  ye  saved, 
all  the  ends  of  the  earth  j  for  I  am  God, 
and  there  is  none  else. 

23  I  have  sworn  by  myself,  the  word 
is  gone  out  of  my  mouth  in  righteous- 
ness, and  shall  not  return.  That  ^  unto 
me  every  knee  shall  bow,  every  tongue 
shall  swear. 

24  Surely  shall  one- say.  In  the  Lord 
have  I  '  righteousness  and  strength  : 
even  to  him  shall  7nen  come  ;  and  all  that 
are  incensed  against  him  shall  be  asham- 
ed. 

25  In  the  Lord  shall  all  the  "<  seed  of 
Israel  be  'justified,  and  shall  glory.

Lord:  look  unto  the  rock  ivhence  ye  are 
hewn,  and  to  tlie  ^  hole  of  the  pit  whence 
ye  are  digged. 

2  Look  unto  <^  Abraham  your  father, 
and  unto  Sarali  that  bare  you  :  for  I 
d  called  him  alone,  and  =  blessed  him, 
and  increased  him. 

3  For  the  Lord  shall  f  comfort  Zion  .- 
he  will  comfort  all  her  g  waste  places, 
and  he  will  make  her  wilderness  like 
Eden,  and  her  desert  like  the  garden  of

found  therein,  thanksgiving,  and  the 
voice  of  melody. 

4  ^  Hearken  unto  me,  my  people ; 
and  give  ear  unto  me,  O  my  nation  :  for 
''  a  law  shall  proceed  from  me,  and  I

the  heavens  shall  vanish  away  like

shall  die  in  like  manner :  but  "  my  salva- 
tion shall  be  for  ever,  and  my  righte-

righteousness,  the  people  in  whose  o 
heart  is  my  law  ;  fear  ye  not  the  P  re- 
proach of  men,  neither  be  ye  afraid  of 
their  revilings. 

8  For  the  q  moth  shall  eat  them  up 
like  a  garment,  and  the  ^  worm  shall  eat

and  carried  our  sorrows  ;    yet  we  did   Before

and  afflicted.  -  vli^v-O 

5  But  he   ijas  wounded    ^  for   our  g  Acts 
transgressions,  he  rcas  bruised  for  our  28.  4. 
iniquities  :    the    chastisement   of   our  4^5'°* 
peace  v:as   upon   him  ;    and    with  his 
stripes  we  are  healed. 

6  All  we,  like   ■  sheep,  have  gone  /JaMi«» 
astray ;  we  have  turned  every  one  to  *-^'- 
his  own  way;    and  the   Lord  hath  ^  z.isf^ 
laid  on  him  the  iniquity  of  us  all.  *  Rom;* 

7  He  was  oppressed,  and  he  was  af-  Hebrews 
flicted  ;  yet  he  '  opened  not  his  mouth  :  9.14. 
he  is  brought  as  a  '"lamb  to  the  slaught-  ^  ^^^^f

ers  is   dumb,   so   he   openeth  not  his  8.32.

8  He  was  taken  from  prison  and  from  m  John

liie  land  of  the  hving  :  for  the  "trans-  c"i  Cor. 
gi'ession  of  my  people  was  he  stricken.  *•''• 

9  And  he  made  his  grave  wiih  the 
P  wicked,  and  with  the  rich  in  his  death  ;  P  ^'^^ 
because  he  had  done   no  violence,  nei-  ^    * 
there  ivas  any  1  deceit  in  his  mouth.         9 1  Peter 

40  ^  Yet  it  ■■  pleased  the  Lord  to  2.22.

when  thou  shalt  make  his  soul  s  an  of-  s'2  Cor.

shall  prolong  his  days,  and  the  pleasure 
of  the  Lord  shall  t  prosper  in  his  hand.  '  CtJ.

of  Jacob  their  sins. 

2  Yet  they  seek  me  daily,  and  delight 
to  know  my  ways  as  a  nation  that  did 
righteousness,  and  forsook  not  the  ordi- 
nance of  their  God  :  they  ask  of  me  the 
ordinances  of  justice  ;  they  take  delig-ht 
in  appronching-  to  God.

11  We  5  roar  like  bears,  and  mourn 
sore  like  doves  :  ue  look  for  judgment, 
hut  tliere  ts  none  ;  for  salvation,  but  it  is 
far  off  from  us. 

12  For  our  '  transgressions  are  mul- 
tiplied "  bef  »re  tliee,  and  our  sins  testifv 
at^ainst  us  :  for  our  transgressions  are  " 
wilK  us  ;  and  as  for  our  iniquities,  we 
Un  )w-  them  : 

13  In  transijressing'  and  lying  against 
the  Lord,  a';d departing' away  from  our 
God,  speaking  oppresuon  and  revolt, 
y  conceiving  and  uttering  from  the  ^ 
heart  words  of  falseliood. 

14  And  judgment  is  turned  away 
backward,  and  justice  standeth  afar  off: 
for  truth  is  fallen  in  the  street,  and  equi- 
ty cannot  enter. 

15  Yea,  trutli  "faileth  ;  and  lie  that  >' 
departed!  from  evil  niHketh  himself  a 
prey  :  and  the  Lord  sa-v  it,  and  it  dis- 
pleased him  that  there  lu.ts  no  judgment. 

16  \\  And  he  saw  tliat  there  was  •"  no 
man,  and  wondered  that  there  luns  no 
intercessor  ;  tlierefore  <'  his  arm  brought 
salvation  unto  him,  and  his  righteous- 
ness it  sustained  him. 

17  For  he  '-put  on  righteousness  as  a 
breas'pla'.e,  and  an  helmet  of  salvation 
upon  his  head  :  and  he  put  on  the  gar- 
mci.ts  of  vengeance  f)r  ckithiug,  and 
was  clad  with  zeal  as  a  cloak. 

13  According  to  their  '  deeds,  accord- 
ingly he  will  repay,  fury  to  his  adver- 
saries, rect^mpence  to  e  his  enemies  ;  to 

■11.4.  and  ihe  islands  he  will  repay  recompence. 

^'^*  '•  19  So  shall  they  fear  the  name  of  ihe 

Lord  from  the  'Mvest,  and  his' glory 
from  the  rising  of  the  sun  :  when  the 
enemy  shall  come  in  like  ■  a  flood,  the 
I;  Spirii;  of  the  Lord  shall  lift  up  a 
standard  against  him. 

20  If  And  the  '  Redeemer  sliall  come 
to  '"  Zion,  and  unto  ihem  tliat  "turn 
fnuTi  transgression  in  Jacob,  saith  the 
Lord. 

21  As  for  me,  ttiis  is  my  "  covenant 
with  tlicm,  stiitli  the  Loud;  My  Spirit 
tliat  is  upnn  thee,  and  'i  my  words  which

1  God  tx'ill  it  served  in  Innnble  sincerity. 
15  God's  judgments  upon  the  viicked. 
THUS  saith  the  Lord,  The  =>  hea- 
ven is  my  throne,  and  the  earth  is  my 
footstool :  ^  where  is  the  house  that  ye 
build  unto  me  ?  and  where  is  the  pl.i.ce 
of  my  rest  ? 

2  For  all  those  things  hath  mine  hand 
made,  and  all  those  things  Iiave  been, 
saith  the  Lord:  but  to  this  man  will 
I  look,  even  to  liim  that  is  poor,  and  of  a 
*=  Contrite  spirit,  Hnd  '^  trembleth  at  my 
v.ord. 

3  He  that  killcth  an  '^  ox,  is  as  if  he 
slew  a  man  :  he  lliat  s.icriliceth  a  lamb, 
as  if  he  cut  oft'  ;i  dntr's  neck  ;  he  that 
ottisreth  an  oblaiion,  as  if  he  offered 
swiie's  blood;  he  th:it  burneth  incense, 
as  if  he  blessed  an  idol:  yea,  they  have 
cho.sen  their  <nvn  ways,  and  their  '  soul 
delightetl)  in  their  abominations. 

4  1  also  will  clionse  their  ?  delusions, 
and  will  bring'  their  fears  upon  them  ; 
because  when  I  called,  none  did  an- 
Hv.tv  ;  when  I  spake,  they  did  not  hear : 
but  they  did  evil  before  mine  eyes,  and 
chose  that  in  which  I  delighted  not. 

5  ^  Hear  the  word  of  the  Lord,  ye 
that  tremble  at  his  word;  Your  ''  breth- 


i 2  Peter  ''^•'^  *''^t  '  hated  you,  that  ^  cast  you  out 
for  my  name's  sake,  said,  Let  the  Lord 
be  1  glorified  :  but  he  shall  •»  appear  to 
your  joy,  and  they  shall  be  ashamed. 

6  A  voice  of  noise  from  the  "  city,  a 
i"  ^^^^'  voice  from  the  "  temple,  a  voice  of  the  p 
fitu's       Lord  that  rendereth  recompence  to  his 

enemies. 

7  Before  she  travailed  she  brought 
forth  ,  before  her  pain  came  she  was  de- 
livered of  a  q  man-child. 

8  Who  hath  heard  such  a  thing?  who 
hath  seen  such  things  ?  Shall  the  earth 
be  made  to  bring  forth  in  one  day  ?  or 
shall  a  nation  be  born  r  at  once  ?  for  as 
soon  as  Zion  travailed  she  brought  forth 
her  children. 

9  Shall  I  bring  to  the  '  birth,  and « not 
cause  to  bring  forth  .'  saith  the  Lord  : 
shall  I  cause  to  bring  forth,  and  shut  the 
HMOtnb?  saith  thy  God. 

10  Rejoice  ye  with  Jerusalem,  and  be 
glad  witli  lier,  all  ye  titat  love  her  :  re- 
joice "  for  joy  with  her,  all  ye  that 
mourn  ior  her ; 

11  That  ye  may  "  suck,  and  be  satis- 
fied W'ith  the  breasts  of  her  consolations ; 
that  yc  may  milk  out,  and  be  delighted 
wilii  the  V  abundance  of  her  glory.

2  To  whom  the  word  of  the  Lord  '' 
came  in  the  days  of '^  Josiah,  the  son  of 
Amon  king  of  Judah,  in  the  thirteenth 
year  of  his  reign. 

3  It  came  also  in  the  days  of  Jehoia-

unto  the  ||  end  of  the  eleventh  year  of 
Zedekiah,  the  .son  of  Josiah  king  of  Ju- 
dah, unto  the  carrying  away  of  Jerusa- 
lem captive  in  the  fifth  month. 

4  Then  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

5  Before  I  f  formed  tliee  in  the  belly 
s  I  knew  thee  ;  and  before  thou  earnest 
forth  out  of  the  womb  1 ''  sanctified  thee ; 
and  I  ordained  thee  a  prophet  unto  the 
nations.  I 

6  Then  said  I,  ■  Ah,  Lord  God!  be-j 
hold,  ^  I  cannot  speak ;  for  I  am  a '  child. 

7  H  But  the  Lord  said  unto  me.  Say  i 
not,  I  am  a  child  :  for  thou  shait  go  toi 
all  that  I  shall  ™  send  thee,  and  "what-| 
soever  I  command  thee  thou  shall  ] 
speak.  I 

8  o  Be  not  afraid  of  their  faces  :  for  i 
F  I  am  w  Ith  thee  to  deliver  thee,  saith 
the  Lord. 

9  Then  the  Lord  put  forth  his  hand, 
and  H  touched  my  mouth  :  and  the  Lord 
said  unto  me,  Behold,  1  have  ^  put  my 
words  in  thy  mouth. 

10  See,  I  have  this  day  '  set  thee  over 
the  nations,  and  over  the  kingdoms,  to 
root  out, and  to  pull  down,  and  to  destroy, 
and  to  throw  down,  to  build,  and  to  plant. 

11  ^  Moreover,  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying,  Jeremiah,  what 
secst  thou  ?  And  I  said,  I  see  a  ^  rod  of 
an  «  almond-tree. 

12  Tiicn  s«id  the  Lord  unto  me. 
Thou  hast  "  well  seen :  for  I  will  y  hasten

13  And  ihe  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  me  the  second  time,  saying,  What 
seest  thou  ?  And  I  said,  I  see  a  ^secth- 
ing-pot,  and  the  face  thereof  is  loward

14  Then  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  Out 
of  the  north  an  ^  evil  shall  break  forth 
upon  all  the  inhabitants  oi"  the  land. 

15  For,  lo,  I  will  ^  call  all  the  faml-

God's  expostulation  -with  the  yeivs: 


JEREMIAH. 


"efore    a  land  that  no  man  ™  passed  tlu-ough, 
629       ""^1  where  no  man  dwelt  ? 

7  And  I  broiig'ht  yon  into  a  "  plentiful 
coniilry,  to  eat  the  fruit  thereof,  and 
the  tjoodness  thereof:  bat  when  ye  en- 
tered ye  o  defiled  my  land,  and  made 
mine  heritage  an  abomination. 

8  The  p  priests  said  not.  Where  is 
the  Lord  .'  and  they  that  i  handle  the 
law  ^  knew  me  not:  the  pastors  also 
transgressed  against  me,  and  the  pro- 
piiets  prophesied  by  Baal,  and  walked 
after  things  that  do  ^  not  profit. 

9  If  Wherefore  I  will  yet  f  plead  with 
you,  saith  the  Lord,  and  witii  your 
children's  children  will  I  plead. 

10  For  pass  orer  the  "  isles  of  Chit- 
tim,  and  see  ;  and  send  unto  "  Kedar, 
a.nd  consider  diligently,  and  see  if  there 
be  such  a  thing  : 

1 1  Hath  a  nation  y  changed  their  gods, 
which  are  yet  ^  no  gods  ]  but  my  people 
have  changed  their  ^  glory  for  that 
lohich  doth  not  profit. 

12  Be  ''  aslonislied,  O  ye  heavens,  at 
this,  and  be  horribly  afraid,  be  ye  very 
desolate,  saith  the  Lord. 

13  For  my  people  have  committed 
two  evils  ;  they  have  forsaken  me,  the 
"^  fountain  of  living  waters,  and  hewed 
them  out  ^'  cisterns,  broken  cisterns, 
that  can  hold  no  water. 

14  ^f  Is  Israel  a  «  servant  ?  is  he  ^ 
a  home-born  slave?  why  is  he  spoil- 
ed ? 

15  The  s  young  lions  roared  upon 
him  rtn(/ yelled,  and  they  made  his  land 
wasle  :  his  cities  are  burnt  '>  without 
inhabitant. 

16  Also  the  children  of  '  Noph  and 
Tahapanes  have  broken  the  crown  of 
thy  head. 

17  Hast  thou  not  ^  procured  this  un- 
to thyself,  in  that  thou  hast  forsaken 
the  Lord  thy  God,  when  he  '  led  thee 
by  the  way  ? 

18  And  now  what  hast  thou  to  do  in 
m  Isaiah  the  ■"  way  of  Egypt,  to  drink  the  waters 

of  "  Sihor !  or  what  hast  thou  to  do  in 
the  way  of  Assyria,  to  drink  the  waters 
of  the  river  i 

19  Thine  °  own  wickedness  shall  cor- 
rect thee,  and  thy  backslidings  shall  re- 
prove thee  :  know,  therefore,  and  see, 
tliat  it  is  an  evil  thing  and  bitter  that 
thou  hast  forsaken  the  Lord  tliy  God, 
and  that  my  fear  is  not  in  thee,  saith  the 
Lord  Gou  of  hosts. 

20  ^  For  of  r  old  time  I  have  broken 
thy  yoke,  and  bur.^t  thy  bands  ;  and  t 
thou  saidst,  I  will  not  transgress  ;  when 
upon  every  "^  Iiigh  hill,  and  under  every

SO  Lord,  are  not  ■=  tliine  eyes  u;)(in

heir  faces  harder  than  a  '>  rock  ;  they 
have  refused  to  return. 

4  Therefore  I  said.  Surely  tliese  are 
poor  ;  they  are  foolish  :  for  they  know 
not  the  '  way  of  the  Lord,  nur  the

5  1  will  get  me  unto  the  ^  great  men,

8  They  were  as  ^  fed  horses  in  the

9  Shall  I  not  visit  fir  ll-.ese  things? 
saith  the  Lord  :  and  shall  not  my  soul

10  If  Go  ye  up  upon  her  "  walls,  and

CHAP.  VI. 

1  The  enemies  sent  against  yudah  encour- 
age themselves .  18  The  prophet  pro- 
clainicth  God's  judgments. 

O  Y£  children  of  »  Benjamin,  ga- 
ther yourselves  to  ^  Hee  out  of  the  midst 
of  Jerusalem,  and  blow  the  trumpet  in 
Tekoa,  and  set  up  "=  a  sign  of  fis-e  in 
Beth-haccerem  ;  for  evil  a;jpeareth  out 
of  the  '1  north,  and  great  dostnictioii. 

2  I  have  likened  the  daughter  of  Zion 
to  a  comely  and  delicate  ivoman. 

3  Tiie  =  shepherds  with  their  flocks 
shall  come  unt-i  her  ;  they  shall  pitch 
their  tents  against  her  round  about ;  they 
shall  feed  every  one  in  liis  place. 

4  Prepare  ye  war  against  her  ;  arise, 
and  let  us  go  up  *"  at  ii^on.  Woe  unto 
us  I  for  the  day  goelh  away,  for  the 
shadows  of  the  evening  are  stretched 
out. 

5  Arise,  and  let  us  go  by  night,  and 
let  us  destroy  her  s  palaces. 

6  ^  Fop  thus  hath  tlie  Lord  of  hosts 
said,  ''  Hew  ye  down  trees,  and  cast  a 
'.nount  against  Jerusalem  :    this  is  the 

zKingscityto   be  visited ;  she  is   '  wholly  op- 
pression in  the  midst  of  her. 

7  As  s^  a  fountain  casteth  out  her  wa- 
ters, so  she  casteth  out  her  wickedness : 
'  violence  and  spoil  is  heard  in  her  ;  be- 
fore me  cohtinuidly  is  grief  and  wounds. 

8  Be  thou  f  insU-ucted,  O  Jerusalem, 
lest  my  soul  depart  from  thee  ;  lest  I 
make  thee  desolate,  a  land  not  inhabited. 

9  ^  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts, 
wizKLngs  They  siiall  thoroughly  ™  glean  the  rem- 
nant of  Israel  as    a  vine:    turn   back 
thine  jiand  as  a  grape-gatherer  into  the 
baskets. 

10  To  whom  shall  I  speak  and  give 
warning,  that  they  may  hear  ?  Behold, 
tlieir  "  ear  is  uncircumcised,  and  thej' 
cannot  hearken ;  behold,  the  word  of 
tlie  Lord  is  unto  them  a  reproach; 
they  have  <>  no  delight  in  it. 

11  Therefore  I  am  full  of  the  fury  of 
the  Lord  ;  I  am  p  weary  with  holding 
in  :  I  will  T  pour  it  out  upon  the  '  chil- 
dren abroad,  and  upon  the  assembly  of 
young  men  together  :  for  even  the  hus- 
band wilh  the  wife  shall  be  taken,  the 
aged  v\  ith  him  that  is  lull  of  days. 

12  And  their  =  houses  shall  be  turned 
unto  others,  Kith  their  fields  and  wives 
together  :  fir  I  will  stretch  out  my 
hand  upon  the  inliabilants  of  the  land, 
sailh  the  Loi;u. 

13  For  from  the  least  of  tliem  even 
unto  the  gre.'itest  of  tliem,  every  one  is 
given  '  to  covetousness  ;  and  from  the 
jirophet  even  unto  the  priest,  every  one 
dealctli  falsriy. 

14  They  have  healed  also  the  hurt  ef 
the  daughter  of  my  people  "  sligl*'d\, 
saying,  '^  PcacC;  pe;k,c'.'i  when  there  is  no 
peace.

vain :  for  one  <i  cuttctb  a  tree  out  of  tlie 
forest  (the  work  of  the  hands  of  the 
workman)  with  the  axe  : 

4  They  <;(leck  it  with  silver  and  with 
gold ;  they  fasten  it  with  nails  and  with 
hammers,  that  it  move  not. 

5  They  are  upright  as  the  palm-lrce, 
but  speak  not :  they  must  f  needs  be 
borne,  because  they  cannot  go.  Be  not 
afraid  of  them  ;  for  they  cannot  do  evil, 
neither  also  is  it  in  them  to  do  good. 

6  Forasmuch  as  there  is  s  none  like 
unto  thee,  O  Lord  ;  thou  art  great, 
and  thy  name  is  '>  great  in  might. 

7  Who  would  not '  fear  thee,  ^  O  King 
of  nations  ?  for  to  thee  i  doth  it  apper- 
tain :  forasmuch  as  among  all  the  wise 
nneu  of  the  nations,  and  in  all  their  king- 
doms, there  is  none  like  unto  thee. 

8  But  they  are  altogether  ™  brutish 
and  foolish  :  the  stock  is  "  a  doctrine  of 
vanities. 

9  Silver  spread  into  plates  is  brought 
from  Tarshish,  and  gold  from  Uphaz, 
the  work  of  the  workman,  and  of  the 
hands  of  the  founder:  blue  and  purple  is 
their  clothing  ;  they  are  all  the  work  of 
cunning  men. 

10  But  the  Lord  »>  the  "  true  God, 
he  is  the  P  living  God,  and  an  i  ever- 
lasting King:  at  his  wrath  the  earth 
shall  tremble,  and  the  nations  shall  not 
be  able  to  abide  his  indignation. 

1 1  Thus  shall  ye  say  unto  them,  The 
gods  that  have  not  made  tJie  lieavens 
and  the  earth,  even  they  shall  '  perish 
from  the  earth,  and  from  under  these 
heavens. 

12  He  hath  made  the  earth  by  his 
power,  he  hath  ^  established  the  world 
by  his  wisdom,  and  hath  stretched  out 
"  the  heavens  by  his  discretion. 

13  When  he  °  uttereth  his  voice,  thhre 
is  a  multitude  of  "  waters  in  the  hea- 
vens, and  he  causeth  the  vapours  to 
ascend  from  the  ends  of  tlie  earth ;  he 
maketh  liglitnings  with  rain,  and  bring- 
eth  fortii  the  wind  out  of  his  treasures. 

14  Every  man  is  y  brutish  in  his 
knowledge ;  every  founderis  confounded 
by  the  graven  image  :  for  his  molten 
image  is  falsehood,  and  there  is  no  ' 
breath  in  them. 

15  They  are  vanity,  and  the  work  of 
errors :  in  the  time  of  their  visitation 
they  shall  perish. 

16  The  »  Portion  of  Jacob  /*  not  like 
them :  for  he  is  the  former  of'  all  things; 
and  Israel  is  the  "^  rod  of  iiis  inheritance  ; 
The  Lord  of  hosts  is  his  name. 

17  %  '^  Gather  up  thy  wares  out  of  the 
land,  "  O  inhabitant  of  the  fortress. 

18  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  Behold, 
f\  will  sling  out  the  inhabitants  of  the 
land  at  tbis  once,  and  will  distress  them, 
that  they  may  P  find  it  so. 

19  If  Woe  is  me  for  my  hurt !  my 
wound  is  grievous  :  but  I  said,  Truly 
this  is  a  grief,  and  I  must  ^  bear  it. 

20  My  tabernacle  is  spoiled,  and  all 


my  cords  are  broken  :  my  children  are 
gone  forth  of  me,  and  they  are  not ; 
there  is  none  to  stretch  forth  my  tent 
any  more,  and  to  set  up  my  curtains. 

21  For  the  pastors  are  become  '  bru- 
tish, and  have  not  sought  the  Lord: 
tiierefore  they  shall  ^  not  prosper,  and 
all  their  flocks  shall  be  scattered. 

22  Behold,  the  noise  of  the  bruit  is 
come,  and  a  great  commotion  out  of  the 
north  country,  to  make  the  cities  of  Ju- 
dah  desolate,  and  a  den  of  dragons. 

23  If  O  Lord,  I  know  that  the  way  of 
man  '  is  not  in  himself;  it  is  not  in  man 
that  walketh  to  direct  his  steps. 

24  O  Lord,  '"  correct  me,  but  with 
"judgment ;  not  in  thine  anger,  lest  thou 
bring  me  to  nothing. 

25  °  Pour  out  thy  fury  upon  the  hea- 
then that  know  thee  not,  and  upon  the 
families  that  call  not  on  thy  name  :  for 
tiiey  have  eaten  up  Jacob,  and  p  devour- 
ed him,  and  consumed  him,  and  have 
made  his  habitation  desolate.

1  jferemiah  proclaimeth  God^s  covenant  .- 
8   he  rebuketh  the  yews,  11  and  fro- 
phesieth  evils  to  come  upon  them. 
THE  word  that  came  to  Jeremiah 

from  the  Lord,  saying, 

2  ^  Hear  ye  the  words  of  this  cove- 
nant, and  speak  unto  the  men  of  Judah, 
and  to  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem  ; 

3  And  say  thou  unto  them,  Thus  saith 
the  Lord  God  of  Israel,  '^  Cursed  Le  the 
man  that  f  obeyeth  not  the  words  of  this 
covenant, 

4  Which  I  commanded  <^  your  fathers 
in  the  day  that  I  brought  them  forth  oui 
ot  the  land  of  Egypt,  from  the  d  iron 
furnace,  saying,  Obey  my  voice,  and  do 
them,  according  to  all  which  I  com- 
mand you :  so  shall  ye  be  my  people, 
and  I  will  be  your  God  : 

5  That  I  may  ■:  perform  the  oath 
which  I  have  sworn  unto  your  fathers, 
to  give  them  a  land  flowing  with  milk 
and  honey,  as  it  is  this  day.  Then  an- 
swered I,  and  said,  *  So  be  it,  O 
Lord. 

6  Then  the  Lord  said  unto  me,  Pro- 
claim all  tliese  words  in  the  cities  of  Ju- 
dah, and  in  the  streets  of  Jerusalem, 
saying,  Hear  ye  the  words  of  this  cove- 
nant, and  rf  do  them. 

7  For  I  earnestly  protested  unto  your 
fathers,  in  th«  day  that  1  brougiU  them 
up  out  of  tlie  land  of  EgNjU,  even  unto 
this  day,  '<  rising  early  and  protesting, 
sayine,  Obey  my  voice. 

8  Yet  they  obe\ed  not,  nor  inclined 
their  ear,  but  walked  every  one  in  the 
'  imagination  of  their  evil  lu-art:  tiiere- 
fore I  will  bring  upon  tiiem  all  the 
words  of  this  covenant,  Vhich  I  com- 
manded them  to  do  ;  but  tliey  did  thcni 
not.

10  They  are  turned  back  to  the  ini- 
quities '  ot'  their  forefathers,  which  re- 
fused to  liear  my  words  ;  and  they  went 
'"  after  other  gods  to  serve  them  :  the 
house  of  Israel  and  the  house  of  Judah 
have  broken  my  covenant,  which  I  made 
with  Uieir  fathers. 

H  fl  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  I  will  bring  "  evil  upon  them, 
whicli  tliey  shall  not  be  able  to  °  escape  ; 
and  thougli  they  shall  ciy  unto  me,  I 
will  p  not  hearken  unto  them.

all  in  the  time  of  their  trouble. 

13  For  according  to  the  ^  number  of 
tliy  cities  vvere  thy  gods,  O  Judah  ;  and 
according  to  the  number  of  the  streets  of 
Jerusalem  have  yet  set  up  altars  to  thai 
«  shameful  thing,  even  altars  to  burn  in- 
cense unto  Baal. 

14  Therefore  ^  pray  not  thou  for  this

17  Far  tlie  Loan  of  hosts,  that  ^ 
planted  thee  hath  pronounced  evil  against 
thee,  for  the  evil  r)f  the  house  of  Israel, 
and  of  the  house  of  Judah,  which  they 
have  done  against  tliemselves,  to  pro- 
voke me  to  anger,  in  offering  incense

righteously,  that  g  triest  the  reins  and

1  By  the  t;pe  of  a  linen  girdle  God  pre- 
jigurcth  his  people's  destruction.  15  An 
exhortation  to  repentance. 

THUS  saith  the  Lord  unto  me. 
Go  and  get  thee  a  ^  linen  girdle,  and  put 
it  iipua  thy  loins,  and  *>  put  it  not  in 
water. 

2  So  I  gtit  a  girdle,  "^  according  to 
13. 9!"and  the  word  of  the  Lord,  and  put  it  on  my 
i'*-i-        loins. 

3_  5_    ■         3  And  the  vrord  of  tlie  Lord  came 
unto  me  the  second  time,  sa>  ing, 

4  Take  the  girdle  that  thou  hast  got, 
whicli  is  upon  thy  loins,  and  arise,  goto 
d  Euphrates,  and  hide  it  there  in  a  hole 

Hebrews  oftlierock. 

5  «  So  1  went,  and  hid  it  by  Euphra- 
tes,as  the  Lord  commanded  me. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  after  many 
days,  tliat  the  Lord  said  un'o  me. 
Arise,  go  to  Euphrates,  and  take  the 
girdle  from  thence,  which  I  command- 
ed thee  to  hide  there. 

7  Then  I  went  to  Euphrates,  and  dig- 
ged, and  took  the  girdle  from  the  place 
V.  here  1  had  hid  it ;  and,  behold,  the 
girdle  was  marred,  it  was  '  profitable 
for  nothing. 

8  Then  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unio  me,  saying, 

9  Thus  saith  the  Lord.  After  this 
manner  will  I  mar  the  f  pride  of  Judah, 
and  the  great  pride  of  Jerusalem. 

10  This  evil  people,  which  refuse  to 
hear  my  words,  wliich  walk  in  the 
imagination  of  their  iieart,  and  '■  walk 

o.  13.  and  after  otiier  gods  to  serve  them,  and  to 
u.e.        \vorsi)ip  them,  shall  even  be  as  this  gir-

to  yourselves,  and  "  bear  no  burden  on

22  Neither  carry  forth  a  biuxlen  out

ceive instruction. 

24  And  it  shall  ccme  to  pass,  if  ye  ^

habitants of  Jerusalem,  and  this  city 
shall  remain  for  ever. 

26  And  they  shall  come  from  the  ci-

4  For  thus  saitli  the  Lord,  Behold,  1 
will  make  thee  »  a  terror  to  thyself,  and 
to  all  thy  friends,  and  they  shall  fall  by 
th.e  sword  of  their  enemies,  and  g  thine 
eyes  shall  behold  it:  and  I  will  give  all 
Jiuhih  into  the  hand  of  the  king  of  Baby- 
lon, and  he  shall  carry  them  captive  into 
Babylon,  and  shall  slay  them  with  the 
sword. 

5  Moreover,  I  will  deliver  all  the  '' 
stren^^th  of  this  city,  and  all  the  labours 
thereof,  and  all  the  precious  things 
thereof,  and  all  the  '  treasures  of  the 
kings  of  Jiid.ah  will  I  give  into  the  hand 
of  their  enemies,  which  shall  spoil  them, 
and  take  them,  and  carry  them  to  Ba- 
bylon. 

6  And  thou,  Pashur,  and  all  that  dwell 
in  thine  house,  shall  go  into  captivity  ; 
and  thou  shalt  come  to  Babylon,  and 
there  thou  shalt  die,  and  shalt  be  b  iried 
tiiere,  thou,  and  all  tiiy  friends,  to  whom 
thou  hast  prophesied  ^  lies. 

7fl  O  Lord,  thou  hast '  deceived  me, 
and  I  was  '"  deceived ;  thou  art  "  strong- 
er than  I,  and  hast  prevailed  :   I  am  in 

0  derision  daily,  every  one  mocketh  me. 

8  For  since  I  spake  I  cried  out,  I  cried 
violence  and  spoil :  because  the  word  of 
the  Lord  was  made  a  reproach  unto  me, 
and  a  derision  clAily. 

9  Then  I  p  said,  I  will  not  make  men- 
tion of  h.im,  nor  speak  any  more  in  his 
name  :  but  his  ivord  was  in  mine  heart 
as  q  a  burning  fire  shut  up  in  my  bones, 
and  I  was  ^  weary  with  forbearing,  and 

1  could  not  stay. 

10  ^  For  I  heard  the  defaming  of  ma> 
ny,  fear  on  every  side.  Report,  say 
they,  and  we  will  report  it.  All  my  fa- 
miliars s  watched  for  my  halting,  saying, 
Peradventure  he  will  be  enticed,  and 
we  shr41  prevail  against  him,  and  we 
shall  take  our  revenge  on  him. 

11  But  the  Loud  is  '  with  me  as  a 
mighty  terrible  one  ;  therefore  my  per- 
secutors shall  "  stumble,  and  they  shall 
not  prevail ;  they  shall  be  greatly  asham- 
ed ;  for  tlvey  shall  not  prosper :  their 
everlasting  confusion  shall  never  be  for- 
gotten. 

12  But,  O  Lord  of  hosts,  that  "triest 
the  righteous,  and  seest  the  reins  and 
the  heart,  let  me  see  thy  vengeance  or 
them  :  y  for  unto  thee  have  1  ^opened 
my  cause. 

13  Sing  unto  the  Lord,  ^  praise  ye 
the  Lord;  for  he  hath  ^  delivered  the

1   j^eremiah  prophesieth  a  restoration  of 
the  scattered Jlock.     5  Christ  shall  rule 
and  save  them.     9  Of  false  prophets. 
WOE  be  unto  the   »  pastors  that 

destroy  and  ^  scatter  the  sheep  of  my 

pasture  !  saith  the  Loud. 

2  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God 
of  Israel  against  the  pastors  that  feed 
my  people.  Ye  have  scattered  my  flock, 
and  driven  them  away,  and  have  not 
visited  them  ;  bei)old,  I  will  visit  upon 
you  the  evil  of  your  doings,  saith  the 
Lord. 

3  And  I  will  gather  the  remnant  of 
my  flock  out  of  all  countries  whither  I 
have  driven  them,  and  will  bring  them 
again  to  their  '  folds  ;  and  they  shall  be 
fruitful  and  increase. 

4  And  I  will  set  up  ^  shepherds  over 
them,  which  shall  feed  them  ;  and  they 
shall  fear  no  more,  nor  be  dismayed, 
neither  shall  they  =  be  lacking,  saith  the 
Lord. 

5  fl  Behold,  ^  the  days  come,  saith  the 
Lord,  that  I  will  raise  unto  David  a 
righteous  g  Brancli,  and  ^  a  King  shall 
reign  and  prosper,  and  shall  execute  ' 
judgment  and  justice  in  the  earth. 

6  In  his  days  ^  Judah  shall  be  saved, 
and  1  Israel  shall  dwell  safely;  and  this 
is  Lis  name  whereby  he  shall  be  called, 
THE  LORD  ■"  OUR  RIGHTEOUS- 
NESS. 

7  Therefore,  behold,  the  days  come, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  "  they  shall  no 
more  say.  The  Lord  liveth,^  whici^ 
brought  up  the  children  of  Israel  out  of

is  evil,  and  their  force  is  not  right.      ^'Hosea 
I      11  For  both  prophet  and  priest  are 

profane ;    yea,   ^  in  my  house   have  I 

found  their  wickedness,  saith  the  Lord.  *Johii 

12  Wherefore   their   w.ays  shall   be  ^'  ^'** 
unto  them   as    y  slippery  Kaays   in  the 
darkness  ;  th?y  shall  be  driven  on,  and  >  Psalm 
fall  therein  :  for  I  will  bring  evil  upon 
them,  even  the  year  of  their  visitation, 

saiih  the  Lord. 

13  And  I  have  seen  folly  in  the  ^pro- zHosea 
pliets  of  Samaria ;  they  prophesied  in  ''•  '• 
Baal,  and  »  caused  my  people  Israel  to  a  Isaiah 
err. 

14  I  have  seen  also  in  the  ^  prophets  b  Acts 
of  Jerusalem  an   horrible  thing ;  they  20.  35. 
commit  adultery,  and    walk  in  <"  lies  ;  c  1  Tim. 
they  «>  strengthen  also  the  hands  of  evil-  4.  2. 
doers,  that  "none  doth  return  from  his  ]j72|. 
wickedness  ;  they  are  all  of  them  unto 

me  «  as   Sodom,    and  the  inhabitants « ^*'ah 
thereof  as  Gomorrah. 

15  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts  concerning  the  prophets.  Behold, 
I  will  feed  tliem  with  f  wormwood,  and 
make  them  drink  the  water  of  gall :  for  {g  ^g'; 
from  the  prophets  of  Jerusalem  is  pro- 
faneness  gone  forth  into  all  the  land. 

16  Thus  saith   the    Lord  of  hosts, 

g  Hearken  not  unto    the  words  of  the 

prophets  that  prophesy  unto  you  ;  they  fg.g^" 

make  you  ^  vain  :  they  speak  a  vision  of  Mat.

23  A7n  I  a  G^.d  «  at  hand,  saith  the 
Lord,  and  not  a  God  afar  off? 

24  Can  any  hide  himself  '■  in  secret 
places  that  1  shall  not  see  him  ?  saith 
'.he  Lord  :  do  not  I  >=  fill  heaven  and 
earth  ?  saith  the  Lord. 

25  I  have  heard  what  the  prophets 
said,  that  prophesy  lies  in  my  name, 
saving,  I  have  y  dreamed,  I  have 
dreamed. 

26  ^  How  long  shall  this  be  in  the 
heart  of  the  prophets  that  prophe-\ 
lies  ?  yea,  they  are  propliets  of  the  ^ 
deceit  of  iheir  own  heart ; 

27  Which  think  *>  to  cause  my  peo- 
ple to  forget  my  name  by  their  dreams, 
which  they  tell  every  man  to  his  neigh- 
bour, '  as  their  fathers  have  forgotten 
nr.y  name  for  Baal. 

28  The  prophet  that  hath  a  dream,  "^ 
let  him  tell  a  dream  ;  and  he  that  hath 
my  word,  let  him  tpeak  my  word  « 
faithfully  :  what  is  the  '  chaff"  to  the 
wheat:  saith  the  Lord. 

29  Is  not  my  word  like  ?  as  a  fire, 
saith  tlie  Lord,  and  like  !>  a  hammer 
that  '  breaketh  the  rock  in  pieces  ! 

30  Theref:)i'e,  behold,  I  am  ^  against 
the  prophets,  suith  the  Lord,  tiiat  i 
steal  my  words  every  one  from  his 
neighbour. 

31  Behold,  I  am  against  the  prophets, 
saith  the  Lord,  ihat  use  their  tongues, 
and  say,  "^  He  saitli. 

32  Behold,  I  atn  against  them  that 
propTiesy  false  dreams,  saith  the  Lord, 
and  do  tell  them,  and  cause  my  people 
to  err  by  their  lies,  and  by  their  " 
lightness  ;  yet  1  sent  them  not,  nor  com- 
manded them  ;  therefore  they  shall  ° 
not  profit  this  people  at  all,  saith  the 
Lord. 

33  II  And  when  this  people,  or  tiie 
prophet,  or  a  priest,  shall  aak  thee,  p 
saying,  What  is  the  "i  burden  of  the 
Lord  I  Thou  shalt  then  say  unto  them. 
What  burden  ?  I  will  '  even  forsake  you, 
saith  tlie  Lord. 

34  And  as  fur  the  prophet,  and  the 
priest,  and  tiie  people,  that  sliall  say, 
The  burden  of  the  Lord,  I  will  even 
punish  that  man  and  his  house. 

35  Thus  shall  ye  say  '  every  one  to 
his  neighbour,  and  every  one  to  his  bro- 
ther. What  hath  the  Lord  answered  ? 
and,  What  hath  the  Lord  spoken  \ 

36  And  the  burden  of  the  Lord  shall 
ye  '  mention  no  more  ;  for  every  man's 
word  shall  be  ■>  his  burden  :  for  ye  have 
perverted  the  words  of  the  living  God, 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts,  our  God. 

37  Thus  shalt  thou  say  to  tlie  '^  pro- 
phet. What  hath  the  Lord  answered 
thee  ?  and, What  hath  the  Lord  spoken  \ 

38  But  since  ye  say.  The  burden  of 
the  Lord  ;  therefore  thus  saith  the 
Lord,  Because  ye  say  this  word.  The 
burden  of  the  Lord,  and  I  have  sent 
unto  you,  saying.  Ye  shall  not  say.  The 
burden  of  the  Lord  :

Figs  ;  the  good  figs,  very  good ;  and 
the  evil,  veiy  evil,  that  cannot  be  eaten, 
they  are  so  evil. 

4  ^  Again  the  word  of  the  Lord

the  son  of  Amon  king  of  JiRlali,  even 
unto  lh;s  day  (that  is  the  three  and

hath  come  nmo  me,  and  I  have  spoken 
unto  you,  'i  rising  eaily,  and  speaking  : 
but  ye  have  not  hearkened. 

4  And  the  Lord  hath  sent  unto  you 
all  his  =  servants  the  propiiets,  rising 
early  and  sending  them  ;  but  y<^  have  ^ 
not  hearkened,  nor  inclined  your  ear  to

the  evil  of  your  doings,  and  ''  dwell  in

a  controversy  with  the  nations  ;  t>  he  will 
plead  with  all  flesh  :  he  will  give  them 
that  are  wicked  to  the  sword,  saith  the

raised  up  from  the  coasts  of  the  earth.

I  will  brin.:^  again  the  captivity  ofjaccb'.-:  /Lam.  ' 


3  For,  lo,  ^  the  days  come,  saith  the  | 
Lord,  that  I  will  ■=  bring  again  the  cap-  | 
tivitv"  of  my  people  Israel  and  Jiid;ih,  ' 
saith  tl;e  Lord  ;  and  I  will  cause  them  ! 
to  return  to  the  land  that  I  gave  to  their     tents,  and  ■  have  mei-cy  on  his  dwell 


fathers,  and  they  shall  possess  it 

4  ^[  And  these  are  the  words  that  the 
Lord  spake  concerning  Israel,  and  con- 
cerning Judah. 

5  For  thus  saith  the  Lord,  We  have 
heard  a  voice  of  ■•  trembling,  of  fear,  and 
'  not  of  peace. 

6  Ask  ye  now,  and  see  whether  a  man 
doth  *  travail  with  child  ;  wherefore  do 
I  see  every  man  with  his  iiands  ou  his 
loins,  as  a  woman  in  traviiil,  and  all  face.^ 
are  turned  into  paleness  \ 

7  Alas !  for  that  day  is  i  great,  so  that 
^  none  is  like  it :  it  z*  even  the  ■  time  '<f 
Jacob's  trouble  ;  but  ^  he  shall  be  saved 
out  of  it. 

8  For  it  shall  come  to  pass  in  that 
day,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  that  I  will 
break  his  yoke  from  oft"  Uiy  neck,  an;l 
will  burst  thy  bonds,  and  strangers  shall 
'no  more  serve  themselves  of  liim  : 

9  But  they  shall  serve  the  Lord  their 
God,  and  "^  David  their  king,  whom  I 
will  "  raise  up  unto  them. 

10  %  Therefore  fear  thou  not,  O  my 
servant  Jacob,  saitii  the  Lord;  neither 
be  dismayed,  O  Israel:  for,  lo,  1  will  ^ 
save  lliee  from  afar,  and  thy  seed  from 
the  land  or  their  captivity  ;  and  Jacob 
shall  return,  and  shall  be  p  in  rest  and  be 
quiet,  and  none  shall  make  him  a- 
fraid. 

11  For  I  avi  with  thee,  saith  the 
Lord,  to  save  thee  :  though  I  make  a 
full  end  of  all  nations  whither  I  Iia\e 
scattered  thee,  yet  will  I  not  make  i  a 
full  end  of  thee  ;  but  I  will  correct  thee 
r  in  measure,  and  will  not  leave  thee  al- 
together unpunished. 

12  For  tlius  saith  the  Lord,  Thy  « 
bruise  is  incurable,  and  thy  wound  is 
grievous. 

13  There  is  '  none  to  plead  thy  cause, 
that  thou  mayest  be  bound  up  :  thou 
hast  "  no  healing  medicines. 

14  All  thy  "  lovers  have  forgotten 
tliee ;  they  seek  thee  not :  fen-  I  have 
wounded  thee  with  the  wound  of  an  >  e- 
nemy,  with  the  chastisement  of  ^acrtiel 
one,  for  the  multitude  of  thine  iniquity ; 
becaust  thy  sins  were  increased. 

15  Why  veriest  thou  for  thine  afflic- 
tion ?  thy  sorrow  is  incurable  for  the  ^ 
multitude  of  ihine  iniquity  :  because  thy 
sins  were  increased  1  have  done  these 
things  unto  tliee. 

16  Tr.erefure  all  they  that  ■:  devour 
thee  shill  be  devoured  ;  and  all  thine 
adversaries,  every  one  of  ihem,  shall  go 
into  captivity;  and  ihey  that  spoil  thee 
siiall  be  a  spoil,  and  all  that,  prey  upon 
ihee  will  1  "  give  for  a  prey.  I 

17  For  I  will  resKjre  health  unto  thee,  | 
and  I  wllj  heal  thee  of  thy  wounds,  saith  I

AT  the  same  time,  saith  the  Lord,

13  Then  shall  the  «  virgin  rejoice  in

14  And  I  will  «  satiate  the  soul  of  the

was  heard  in  f  Ramah,  lamentation,  and 
bitter  weeping;  Rachel  weeping  for  her 
children,  reftised  to  be  comforted  for 
lier  children,  e  because  they  ivere  not. 

16  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  '^  Refrain

17  And  there  is  i  hope  in  tlilne  end, 
saith  the  Lord,  that  thy  '"  children  shall

18  ^  i  have  surely  heard  "  Ephraim. 
bemoaning  himself  tluis,  Thou  hast  ° 
chastised  me,  and  I  was  chastised,  as  a 
bullock  unaccustomed  to  the  yoke:  turn 
thou  me,  and  I  shall  be  turned;  for  thou 
art  the  Lord  my  God. 

19  Surely  p  after  that  I  was  turned  I 
repented  :  and  after  that  I  was  i  in- 
structed I  smote  upon  my  thigh  :  I  was 
ashamed,  yea,  even  confotnided,  because 
I  did  bear  the  «  reproa 'h  of  my  youth. 

20  Is  Ephraim  my  •  dear  son  ?  is  he 
a  pleasant  child  .'  for  since  I  spake  a- 
gainst  him  I  do  earnestly  ;  remember 
him  still ;  therefore  my  bowels  are  "

23  And  ilicy  came  in,  and  possessed 
it ;  but  they  ■  obeyed  not  thy  voice,  neitlier 
walked  in  thy  law  :  they  have  done  ni- 
thinj^  of  all  that  thou  commandest  them 
to  do ;  therefore  thou  hast  caused  all 
this  evil  to  come  upon  them. 

24  Behold  the  mounts,  they  are  come 
unto  the  city  to  take  it ;  and  tlie  city  ^ 
is  given  into  the  hand  of  the  Chaldeans 
that  fight  against  it,  because  of  the 
sword,  andofthe  famine,  and  of  the  pes- 
tilence :  and  what  thou  hast  spoken  '  ia 
come  to  pass;  and,  beliold.thou  seest  z>.

Lord  God,  buy  thee  (lie  field  for  mo- 

;  ney,  and  take  witnesses;  for  '»  the  city 
is  given  into  the  hand  of  the  Chaldeans. 

26  fl  Then  came  the  word  of  the 
Lord  unto  Jeremiuii,  saying, 

27  Behold,  I  am.  the  Lord,  "  the 
God  of  all  flesh  :  is  there  °  any  thing

28  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord, 
Behold,  r  I  will  g-ive  this  city  into  the 
hand  of  the  Chaldeans,  and  into  the 
hand  of  Nebuchadrezzar  king  of  Ba- 
bjlon,  and  he  s!iall  take  it. 

29  And  the  Chaldeans,  that  fight 
against  this  city,  sliallconieand  'i  sethre 
on  this  city,  and  burn  it,  with  the  houses, 
'  upon  whose  r.iofs  they  have  offered 
incense  unto  Baal,  and  poured  out 
drink-offerings  unto  other  gods,  to  pro- 
voke me  to  anger. 

30  For  the  children  of  Israel,  and  the 
children  of  Jodah,  ^  have  only  done  evil 
before  me  from  their  j-outh  :  for  the 
children  of  Israel  have  only  provoked 
me  to  anger  with  the  work  of  their 
hands,  saith  the  Lord. 

31  For  this  city  hath  been  to  me  as 
'  a  provocation  of  mine  anger  and  of 
my  fury,  from  the  day  that  they  built  it 
evea  unto  this  day,  that  I  should  remove 
it  from  before  my  face  ; 

33  Because  of  all  the  evil  of  the  chil- 
dren of  Israel,  and  of  the  children  of 
Judah,  which  they  have  done  to  pro- 
voke me  to  anger,  "  thej',  their  kings, 
their  princes,  their  priests,  and  their 
prophets,  and  the  men  of  Judah,  and 
the  inhabitants  of  Jerusalem. 

33  And  they  have  turned  unto  me 
the  back,  and  not  the  face  ;  though  I 
taught  them,  "  rising  up  early  and 
teaciiing  tlitm,  }  el  they  have  not  heark- 
ened to  receive  instruction'. 

34  But  they  y  set  their  abominations

neither  inclined  their  ear. 

15  And  ye  vk'ere  '  now  turned,  and 
had  done  right  in  my  sight,  in  pro- 
claiming liberty  every  man  to  his  neigh-

them  all  the  words  that  he  had  heard, 
wiien  Barucli  read  the  book  in  the  tars

14  Therefore  all  the  princes  sent  Je-

Siiclemiah,  the  son  of  Cnshi,  unto  Ba- 
rucli, saying-,  Take  in  thine  hand  the

f  afraid  both  one  and  other,  and  said  un- 
to Barucli,  We  will  surely  tell  the  king- 
of  all  vhese  words. 

17  And  they  asked  Baruch,  saying,  " 
Tell  us  now.  How  didst  thou  w  rite  all 
these  words  at  his  mouth  ? 

18  Then  Baruch  answered  them,  He 
pronounced  all  these  words  unto  me  wiili 
his  mouth,  and  I  ><  wrote  thein  with  ink 
in  the  book. 

19  Then  said  the  princes  unto  Baruch, 
Go,  hide  thee,  ythou  and  Jeremiah,  and 
let  no  man  know  where  ye  be. 

20 II  And  they  went  in  to  the  king  in-

in  the  chamber  of  Ehshama  the  scribe, 
and  told  all  the  words  in  the  ears  of  the

21  So  the  king  sent  Jehudi  to  fetch 
the  roll ;  and  he  took  it  outof  Elishama 
the  scribe's  chamber  :  and  Jehudi  read 
it  in  the  ears  of  the  kinj^,  and  in  the  ears 
of  all  tiie  princes  which  stood  beside  the

22  Now  the  king  sat  in  the  ^  winter- 
house,  in  the  ninth  month ;  and  there  ivas 
afire  on  the  hearth  burning  before  him. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when 
Jehudi  had  read  three  or  four  leaves,  he 
^  cut  it  with  the  pen-knife,  and  cast  it  in- 

22. 8.'"^*  to  the  fire  that  teas  on  the  hearth,  until

Jerusalem  to  go  into  the  land  of  Benja- 
min, to  1  separate  himself  tlicr.ce  in  the 
midst  of  the  people. 

13  And  when  he  was  in  the  ■"  gate  of

tliere,  whose  name  ivas  Irijah,  the  son 
of  Shelemiali,  the  son  of  Hananiah  ; 
and  he  took  Jeremiaii  the  prophet,  say- 
ing. Thou  1  fallest  away  to  the  Chal- 
deans. 

14  Then  said  Jeremiah,  It  Is  j  false ; 
I  fall  not  away  to  the  Chaldeans.  But 
he  hearkened  not  to  him  :  so  Irijah  took 

falsehood  Jeremiah,    and    brought    him    to    the 
°'"'>'''      princes. 

15  Wherefore  the  princes  °  were 
wrotii  with  Jeremiah,  and  p  smote  him, 
and  put  him  in  prison  in  the  house  of  'i 
Jonathan  the  scribe;  for  they  had  made 
that  the  prison. 

16  fl  When  Jeremiah  was  entered  in- 
to the  r  dungeon,  and  into  the  cabins, 
and  Jeremiah  had  remained  there  many 
days  ; 

17  Then  Zedekiah  the  king  sent,  and

secretly  in  his  house,  and  said,  Is  there

miah said,  There  is :  for,  said  he,  tliou 
shalt  be  ■'  delivered  into  the  iiand  of  tiie

18  Moreover,  Jeremiah  said  unto  king

*~  ■  gainst  thee,  or  against  thy  servants,  or

king',  even  icii  men  witli  him,  came  unto 
GeJaliali,  the  son  of  Ahikam,  to  Miz- 
liah ;  and  there  they  did  '  eat  bread  to- 
sjether  in  Mizpah. 

2  Then  arose  Ishmael,  the  son  rf  Ne- 
thaniah,  and  the  ten  men  that  were  with 
him,  and  •'  smote  Gedaliah,  the  son  of 
Ahikam,  the  son  of  Shaphan,  with  the 
sword,  and  slew  him,  whom  the  king 
of  Babylon  had  made  governor  over  the 
land. 

3  Ishmael  als»  slew  ^  all  the  Jews 
that  were  with  him,  e'vsn  with  Gedaliah 
at  Mizpah,  and  the  Chaldeans  that  were 
found  there,  and  the  men  of  war. 

4  And  it  came  to  pass,  the  second 
day  after  he  had  slain  Gedaliah,  and  no 
man  knew  it, 

5  That  there  came  certain  from  f 
Shecheni,  from  e  Shiloh,  and  from  Sa- 
maria, eT'Cw  fourscore  men,  having  their 
''  beards  shaven,  and  their  clothes  rent, 
and  having  cut  them^ielvcs,  with  otier- 
ings  and  incense  in  their  hand,  to  bring 
the7)i  to  the  '  house  of  the  Lord. 

6  And  Ishmael,  the  son  of  Nethaniah, 
went  forth  from  Mizpah  to  meet  them, 
^  weeping  all  along  as  he  wont  :  and  it 
came  to  pass,  as  he  met  them,  he  said 
unto  them.  Come  to  Gedaliah,  the  son 
of  Ahikam. 

7  And  it  w's?  so,  when  they  came  in- 
to tlie  midst  of  the  city,  that  Ishmael, 
the  son  of  Nethaniaii,  ||  slew  them,  atid 
cust  them  into  the  midst  of  tlie  pit,  he, 
and  the  men  that  '•.vere  with  him. 

8  Bu".  ten  men  were  found  among 
them  that  said  unto  Ishmael,  Slay  us 
not ;  for  we  have  treasures  in  the  field, 
of  w  heat,  and  of  barlcv ,  ar.d  of  oil,  and 
of  honey.  So  he  forbare,  and  slew  them 
not  among  tiicir  brethren. 

9  Now  the  pit  wherein  Isiimael  had 
cast  1  all  the  dead  bodies  of  ihe  men 
(whom  he  had  slain  j-  because  of  Geda- 
liah) ivas  it  wiiich  '»  Asa  the  king  iiad

n;;:/ Ishmael,  the  S'ln  of  Nethaniah,  lilled 
it  with  them  that  I'.-ere  slain. 

10  Then  Ishmael  carried  away  cap-

they  have  commitied,  *'  to  provoke  me

18  As  in  the  overthrow  of  ■  Sodom 
iii;d  G-nnorrali,  and  the  'leighbour  citits 
thereo',  saith  the  Lord,  no  man  shall 
abide  ^here,  neither  shall  a  son  of  man 
dwell  in  It. 

19  Behold,  ^  he  shall  come  np  like  .■» 
lion  from  the  '  swelling  of  Jordan  against 
t!ie  habitation  of  the  strong  :  but  I  will 
'"  suddenly  make  him  run  away  from 
her  ;  and  w  ho  is  "  a  chosen  man  thot  1 
may  appoint  over  her  ?  for  who  is  like 
me  .'  and  who  will  appoint  me  the  time  ? 
and  who  is  that  shepherd  that  will  <= 
stand  before  me  ? 

20  Therefore  hear  the  counsel  of  the 
Lord  that  he  hath  taken  against  Edom, 
and  his  purposes  that  lie  hath  purposed 
against  the  inhabitants  of  Teman  :  Sure- 
ly the  P  least  of  tiie  flock  shall  draw 
tliem  out ;  surely  he  sliali  make  their 
habitations  desolate  with  them. 

21  The  earth  is  q  moved  at  tlie  noise 
of  their  fall  ;  at  the  cry,  the  noise 
thereof  was  heard  in  the  '  Red  sea. 

22  Behold,  he  shall  come  up  '  and  fly 
as  the  eagle,  and  spread  his  wings  over 

.  40^41.  Bozrah  :  and  at  that  day  shall  the  Iieart 
of  the  mighty  men  of  Edom  be  as  the 
heart  of  a  woman  in  her  pangs. 

23  ^  Concerning  Damascus.  Hamath 
is  confounded,  and  Arpad ;  for  they 
have  heard  evil  tidings  ;  they  are  faint- 
hearted :  tlirye  is  sorrow  on  the  sea ; 
it  cannot  be  'quiet.' 

24  Damascus  is  waxed  feeble,  and 
turneth  herself  to  flee,  and  fear  hath 
seized  on  her  :  anguish  and  sorrows 
have  takeji  her  "as  a  waman  in  travail. 

25  How  is  the  "  city  of  praise  y  not 
left,  the  city  of  my  joy  ! 

26  I'hcrefore  her  yoiing  men  shall  fall 
in  her  streets,  and  all  the  ^  men  of  war 
shall  be  cut  off  in  that  day,  saith  the 
Lord  of  hosts.

Come,  and  let  us  join  ourselves  to  tlie 
Lord  ^  in  a  perpetual  covenant  that 
shall  not  be  forg.itten. 

6  My  people  hath  been  '  lost  sheep  ; 
their  "  shepherds  have  caused  them  to 
go  astra}',  they  have  turned  them  away 
on  the  mountains  :  they  have  gone  frt  m 
mountain  to  hill,  they  have  forgotten 
their  "  resiing-place. 

7  All  that  found  them  have  "  devoured 
them  ;  and  their  adversaries  said.  We 
P  oH'end  not,  because  they  have  sinned

fore the  Hocks. 

9  ^  For,  lo,  I  will  raise,  and  cause  to 
come  up  against  Babylon,  an  assembly 
of  s  grea'.  iiations  from  the  north  coun- 
try :  and  they  shall  set  themselves  in

be  taken  ;  their  arrows  j/i,-;//  lie  as  of  a

ashamed  :  behold,  the  <:  hindermcst  of

land,  and  a  desert. 

13  Because  of  the  <i  wrath  of  the

shall  be  wholly  desolate  :  every  one

the  sons  of  Zedekiah  before  his  eyes  : 
he  slew  also  all  the  princes  of  Judah  in

that  uere  with  the  captain  of  the  guard, 
"  brake  down  all  the  walls  of  Jerusalem 
round  about. 

15  Then  Nebuzar-adan,  the  captain

fell  to  the  king  of  Babylon,  and  the  rest

1  Jerusalem's  misery  for  her  sins  .-12  she 
bemnaneth  Iter  ajflictions,  18  and  con- 
Jesseth  God's  judgments  to  be  just. 
HOW  doth  the  ■''  city  sit  soiitarj' 
that  ivas  full  of  people  !   how  is  she  be- 
come as  a  widow  !   she  that  ivas  {;i'eat 
among  the  nations,  and  ^  princess  amon^ 
the  provinces,  hoTj  is  she  become  "^  tri- 
butary ! 

2  She  ■'  weepeth  sore  in  the  nigiit,  and 
her  tears  are  on  her  cheeks  ;  among  = 
all  her  lovers  she  hath  none  to  comfort 
her:  all  her  friends  have  dealt  treacher- 
ously with  her;  they  are  become  her 
enemies. 

3  Jiidali  f  is  gone  into  captivity,  be- 
cause of  affliction,  and  because  of  great 
servitude ;  she  ?  dwelleth  among  the 
heathen,  she  findeth  no  rest :  all  her 
persecutors  overtook  her  between  the 
!>  straits. 

4  •  The  ways  of  Zion  do  mourn,  be- 
cause none  come  to  the  solemn  feasts  ; 
all  her  gates  are  desolate  ;  ■<  her  priests 
sigh,  her  virgins  are  afflicted,  and  she 
is  in  bitterness. 

5  Her  adversaries  are  the  '  chief,  her 
enemies  prosper;    for  the  Lord  hath 
afflicted  her  for  the  >"  multitude  of  her 
transgressions :  her  children  are  gone  i 
into  captivity  before  the  enemy. 

6  And  from  the  daughter  of  Zion  »  all 
her  beauty  is  departed  :  her  princes  are  i 
become  like  harts  that  find  °  no  pasture : 
and  they  are  gone  without  strength  be- 
fore the  pursuer. 

7  Jerusalem  remembered  in  the  days 
of  her  affliction,  and  of  iier  miseries,  all 
her  p  pleasant  things  that  siie  had  in  the 
days  of  old,  when  her  people  fell  into 
the  hand  of  the  enemy,  and  none  did 
help  her :  the  adversaries  saw  her,  and 
did  1  mock  at  lier  sabbaths. 

8  Jerusalem  hath  f  grievously  sinned; 
therefore  she  is  removed  :  all  that  ho- 
noured her  despise  her,  because  tliey 
have  seen  her  «  nakedness ;  yea,  she 
sighf^th,  and  tnrneth  backward. 

9  Her  'filt!iiness  is  in  her  skirts  ;  she 
"  remenibereth  not  her  last  end  ;  there- 
foi'e  she  came  down  wonderfully :  she 
had  no  comforter.  O  Lord,  behold  my 
affliction  ;  for  the  enemy  Jiatli  "  magni- 
fied himself- 

10  The  adversary  hath  spread  out  his 
liand  upon  all  her  pleasant  things  :  for 
siie  b?th  seen  that  the  >  heatlven  enter- 


ed into  her  sanctuary,  whom  thou  dklst 
command  that  they  should  ^  not  enter 
into  thy  congiegation. 

11  AH  her  people  sigh,  they  seek  ^ 
bread;  they  liave  given  their  pleasam 
things  for  meat  to  relieve  the  soul :  see, 
O  Lord,  and  consider;  for  1  am  be- 
come t'vile. 

12  ^  Is  it  nothing  to  you,  all  ye  that  ' 
pass  by  ?  behold,  and  see  if  there  be  an\ 
sorrow  like  unto  my  sorrow,  v.ljich  is 
done  luilo  me,  v^  herewith  iIjc  Loud 
hath  afflicted  me  in  the  day  of  his  fierce 
anger. 

13  From  ^  above  Iialh  lit  sent  fire  intc 
my  bones,  and  it  prevaileth  agaiist 
them :  he  hath  spread  <^  a  net  for  m-. 
feet ;  he  hath  turned  me  back  ;  he  liatl. 
made  me  desolate  and  faint  all  the  day. 

14  The  ''  yoke  of  my  transgressions 
is  bound  b\  his  hand  ;  they  are  f.  wreath- 
ed, and  come  up  upon  my  neck :  he  hath 
made  my  strength  to  fall;  the  LoRr, 
hath  d."livprcd  n\e  intn  thcirhsLndS;fro7n 
ii'honi  I  am  not  able  to  rise  njj. 

15  The  Lord  hath  ti-odden  under 
foot  all  my  '^  mighty  onen  in  the  midst 
of  me  ;  he  hath  called  an  as€eniijly  a- 
gainst  me  to  ■  crush  my  young  men  : 
the  Lord  hath  trodden  the  virgin  the 
daughter  of  Judah,  as  ''  in  a  vvine-pi'ess 

16  For  these  things  I  weep  :  '  mine 
eje,  mine  eye  runneth  down  with  water, 
because  the  "^  comforter  that  should  re- 
lieve my  soul  is  far  from  me  ;  my  chil 
drew  are  desolate,  because  the  enemv 
"  prevailed. 

17  Zion  "  spreadeth  forth  her  hands. 
and  there  is  none  to  comfort  her:  th - 
Lord  hath  commanded  concerning  J;'.- 
cob,  that  his  adversaries  should  be  ruuiid 
about  him:  Jerusalem  is  p  as  a  mens- 
truous  woman  among  them. 

18  II The  Lord  i  is  righteous  ;  for  I 
have  rebelled  against  his  '  command- 
ment :  hear,  I  pray  you,  all  people,  and 
behold  my  sorrow ;  my  ^  virgins,  and  m\ 
young  men  are  gone  intocapti>  ity. 

19  I  called  for  my  lovers,  but  thev  ' 
deceived  me  ;  my  "  priests  and  mine 
elders  g,ave  up  the  ghost  in  tlie  city, 
while  they  sought  their  meat  to  relieve 
their  souls. 

20  Behold,  O  Lord,  for  I  nvi  in  dis- 
tress ;  m\  bcwels  are  =*  troubled :  mine 
heart  is  turned  within  me  ;  fur  I  lia\(

breast,  tliey  give  suck  to  their  '^  young 
ones  :  the  daughter  of  my  people  is  he- 
come  cruel,  like  the  ostriches  in  the 
wilderness. 

4  The  tongue  of  the  sucking  child 
cleaveth  to  the  roof  of  his  mouth  for

5  Tliey  that  did  feed  delicately  are 
desolate  in  the  streets ;  they  that  luere 
brought  up  in  scarlet  embrace  '  dung- 
hills. 

6  For  the  punishment  of  the  iniquity 
of  llie  daughter  of  my  people  is  greater 
f  tlian  the  punislsment  of  the  sin  of  So- 
dom, that  was  overthrown  as  in  a  mo- 
ment, and  wo  liands  stayed  on  her. 

7  Her  e  Nazariles  were  purer  than 
snow,  they  were  whiter  than  milk,  tliey 
were  more  ruddy  in  body  than  rubies, 
tlieir  polishmg  ivas  of  sapphire  : 

8  Their  visage  is  '>  blacker  than  a  coal ; 
they  are  not  Ivuovvn  in  the  streets  :  their

1  The  time  of  Ezekiel's  prophecy  :  4  his 
vision  of  the  four  cherubinis,  26  and  of 
the  glory  of  God  above  them. 

NOW  it  came  to  pass  in  the  thir- 
tieth  year,  in  the  fourth  month,  in  the 
fifth  day  of  the  month,  as  I  vjas  among 
the  captives  by  the  river  of  Chebar,  that 
the  a  heavens  were  opened,  and  I  saw  ^ 
visions  of  God. 

2  In  the  fifth  day  of  the  month, 
(which  ti'as  the  fifth  year  of  king  Je- 
hoiachin's  captivity) 

3  The  word  of  the  Lord  '^  came  ex- 
pressly unto  Ezekiel  the  priest,  the  son 
of  Buzi,  in  the  land  of  the  ^  Chaldeans, 
by  the  river  Chebar ;  and  the  =  hand  of 
the  Lord  was  there  upon  him. 

4  %  And  I  f  looked,  .ind,  behold,  s  a 
whirlwind  came  out  of  ■'  the  north,  a 
great  cloud,  and  a  fire  infolding  itself, 
and  a  ■  brightness  ivas  about  it,  and  out 
of  the  midst  thereof  as  the  colour  of  am- 
ber, out  of  the  midst  of  the  fire  : 

5  Also  out  of  the  ^  midst  ihereof  canze 
the  likeness  of  '  four  living  creatures. 
And  tii'.s  was  tlieir  .appearance  ;  they 
had  the  hkeness  of  a  man. 

6  And  everyone  had  four  faces,  and 
every  one  hatl  four  ■"  wings. 

7  And  their  feet  i':ere  "  straight  feet ; 


the  sole  of  their  feet  luas  like  the  sole 
of  a  °  calf's  foot :  and  they  sparkled  like 
the  colour  of  p  burnished  brass. 

8  And  they  had  the  'i  hands  of  a  man 
^  under  their  wings  on  their  four  sides; 
and  they  four  had  their  faces  and  their 
wings. 

9  Their  wings  ivere  ^  joined  one  to 
another ;  they  '  turned  not  when  they 
went ;  they  went  every  one  "  straight 
forward. 

10  As  for  the  likeness  of  their  faces, 
they  four  had  the  face  of  '>  a  man  and 
the  face  of  v  a  lion  on  the  right  side ;  and 
they  four  had  the  face  of  an  "  ox  on  tlie 
left  side  ;  they  four  also  had  the  face  of 
'  an  eagle. 

11  Thus  were  their  faces  :  and  their 
wings  were  stretched  upward  ;  two 
wings  of  every  one  were  joined  one  to 
another,  and  two  covered  their  bodies. 

12  And  they  went  every  one  straight 
forward  :  whither  the  t"  spirit  was  to  go 
they  went ;  and  they  turned  not  when 
they  went. 

13  As  for  the  likeness  of  the  living 
creatui-es,  their  .appearance  was  like  ■= 
burning  coals  of  fire,  a7id  like  the  .ap- 
pearance of  lamps:  'i  it  went  up  ami 
down  among  tlie  living  creatures  ;  and 
the  fire  was  brifjht,  and  out  of  the  fire 
went  forth  lightning.

14  And  the  living  creatures  <■  ran  and 
*'  returned  hs  tlie  appearance  of  a  flash 
of  hj^htning. 

15  %  Now,  as  I  beheld  llie  living  crea- 
tures, behold,  i;  one  wheel  upon  the  ^ 
earth  by  the  living-  creatures,  with  his 
four  faces. 

16  The  appearance  '  of  the  wlieels 
and  their  work  ivas  like  unto  the  colour 
of  a  beryl ;  and  they  four  had  one  like- 
ness :  and  their  appearance  and  llieir 
work  was  as  it  were  a  wheel  in  the  mid- 
dle of  a  wheel. 

17  When  they  went,  tliey  went  upon 
their  four  sides ;  arid  they  turned  not 
when  they  went. 

18  As  for  their  ring.s,  they  were  so  ■< 
high  that  they  were  dreadful ;  and  their 
rings  n-ete  '  full  of  eyes  round  about 
them  four. 

19  And  when  the  living  creatures 
went,  the  wheels  went  ">  by  them  ;  and 
when  the  hviiig  creatures  were  lifted  up 
from  the  earth,  the  ■'  wheels  were  Ufled 
up. 

20  Whithersoever  the  spirit  was  to 
go  they  went,  thither  ivas  their  spirit 
to  go ;  and  the  v'^'heels  were  lifted  up 
over  against  them:  for  the  spirit  of  the 
living  creature  "  nas  in  the  wheels. 

21  When  those  vi'ent,  these  went ;  and 
when  those  stood,  these  stood;  and  when 
those  were  lifled  up  from  the  earth,  the 
wheels  were  lifted  up  over  against  them  : 
for  r  the  spirit  of  the  living  creature  laas 
in  the  wheels. 

22  And  liie  likeness  of  the  b  firma 
ment  upon  the  heads  of  the  living  crea 
ture  iviis  as  the  colour  of  ■■  the  terrible 
crystal,  stretched  forth  over  tlieir  heads 
above. 

23  And  under  the  firmament  ivere 
their  wings  straight,  the  one  toward  the 
other;  every  one  had  two,  which  '  co- 
vered on  this  side,  and  every  one  had 
two,  which  covered  on  that  side,  their 
bodies. 

24  And  when  they  went  I  heard  the 
noise  of  their  wings  like  the  noise  of  ' 
great  waters,  as  the  voice  of  "  the  Al- 
mighty, the  voice  of  speech  as  the  noise 
of  an  host :  when  they  stood  they  let 
down  their  wings. 

25  A. id  there  was  "  a  voice  from  tiie 
firmament  that  was  over  their  heads 
when  they  y  stood,  and  had  let  down 
their  wings. 

26  fl  And  above  tlie  firmament  that 
was  over  their  heads  fjas  the  likeness  of 
a  -^  throne,  as  the  appearance  of  a  sup- 
pliirc-stone  :  and  upon  the  likeness  of 
the  throne  was  the  likeness  as  the  ap- 
pearance of  a  man  above  ^  upon  it. 

27  And  I  saw  as  tlio  colour  of  amber, 
as  the  appearance  of  ^  fire  round  about 
within  it;  from  tlie  appearance  of  his 
loins  even  upward,  and  from  the  appear- 
ance of  his  loins  even  downward,  I  sav^ 
as  it  were  the  appearance  of  fire,  and  it 
had  <=  brightucss  round  about.

and  ^  a  reproach  among  the  nations  tliat 
are  round  about  thee,  in  the  sight  of  all 
that  pass  by. 

15  So  it  shall  be  a  reproach  and  a 
taunt,  <*  an  instruction  and  an  astonish- 
ment unto  the  nations  that  are  rgund 
about  thee,  when  I  shall  execute  judg-

and  in  <=  furious  rebukes.  I  the  Lord 
have  spoken  it. 

16  When  I  shall  send  upon  them  the 
evil  f  arrows  of  famine,  whicli  shall  be 
for  their  destruction,  and  which  I  will 
send  to  destroy  you  ;  and  I  will  increase

your  g  staff  of  bread  : 

17  So  will  I  send  upon  you  famine, 
and  '•  evil  beasts,  and  they  shall  bereave 
thee  ;  and  pestilence  and  blood  shall 
pass  through  thee  ;  and  I  will  bring  the

1  The  judgment  of  Israel  for  their  idola- 
try. 8  A  refnnant  shall  he  saved. 
11  The  faithful  are  exhorted. 

AND  the  word  of  the  Loud  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  *  set  thy  face  toward 
the  ''  mountains  of  Israel,  and  prophesy 
against  them, 

3  And  say,  Ye  <=  mountains  of  Israel, 
hear  the  word  of  the  Lord  God  ;  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God  to  the  mountains 
and  to  the  hills,  to  the  rivers,  and  to  the 
valleys,  Behold  I,  even  I,  will  bring  a 
sword  upon  you,  and  I  will  destroy  your 
''  high  places  : 

4  And  your  altars  shall  be  desolate, 
and  your  « images  shall  be  broken  ;  and 
I  will  cast  down  your  slain  men  before 
your  idols. 

5  And  I  will  lay  the  dead  carcasses  of 
the  children  of  Israel  before  their  idols  ; 
and  I  will  *  scatter  your  bones  round 
about  your  altars. 

6  In  all  your  dwelling-places  the 
cities  shall  be  g  laid  waste,  and  the  high 
places  shall  be  desolate ;  that  your  al- 
tars may  be  laid  waste  and  made  deso- 
late, and  your  idols  may  be  broken  and 
cease,  and  your  images  may  be  cut 
down,  and  '■  your  works  may  be  abolish- 
ed. 

7  And  the  slain  shall  '  fall  in  the  midst 
of  you  ;  and  ye  shall  k  know  that  I  ajn 
the  Lord. 

8  ^  Yet  will  I  leave  •  a  remnant,  that 
ye  may  liave  some  that  shall  escape  the 
swor.d  among  the  nations,  when  ye  shall 
be  scattered  Uirough  tlie  countries. 

9  And  they  liiat  escape  of  you  sliall 
remember  me  among  the  nations,  whi- 
ther they  shall  be  carried  captives,  be- 
cause I  am  ■"  broken  with  tlieir  «  who- 
rish  heart,  which  hath  departed  from 


me,  and  with  their  "  eyes,  which  go  a 
whoring  after  their  idols  :  and  they  .shall 
P  loathe  themselves  for  llie  evils  which 
tliev  have  committed  in  all  their  abomi- 
nations. 

10  And  they  shall  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord,  and  that  I  have  s  not  said  in 
vain  that  I  would  do  this  evil  unto 
them. 

11  ^  Thus  saith  the  Lord  Gon,  ■• 
Smite  with  thine  hand,  and  s  stamp  with 
thy  foot,  and  say,  '  Alas,  for  all  the  evil 
abominations  of  the  liouse  of  Israel !  for 
they  shall  fall  by  the  sword,  by  the 
famine,  and  by  the  pestilence. 

12  He  that  is  far  off  shall  die  of  the 
pestilence  ;  and  he  that  is  near  shall  fall 
by  the  sword  ;  and  he  that  remainetli 
and  is  besieged  shall  die  by  the  famine  ; 
thus  will  I  accomplish  my  fury  upon 
them. 

13  Then  shall  ye  know  that  I  mn  the 
Lord,  when  their  slain  vien  shall  be  " 
among  their  idols  round  about  tiieir  al- 
tars, upon  every  high  hill,  in  all  the  tops 
of  the  mountains,  and  under  every  >< 
green  tree,  and  under  every  thick  oak, 
the  place  where  they  did  otier  sweet  sa- 
vour to  all  their  idols. 

14  So  will  1  stretch  out  my  handy 
upon  them,  and  make  the  land  desolate ; 
yea,  more  desolate  than  the  wilderness 
toivard  z  Diblath,  in  all  their  habitations; 
and  they  shall  know  that  I  a7n  the 
Lord.

MOREOVER,  the   word  of  the 
Lord  came  unto  me,  say'mg; 

2  Also,  thou  son  of  man,  thus  saith 
tiie  Lord  God  unto  the  ^  land  of  Is- 
rael, ">  An  end,  the  end  is  come  upon 
the  four  corners  of  the  land. 

3  Now  is  the  end  come  upon  thee, 
and  I  will  send  mine  anger  upon  thee, 
and  will  judge  thee  according  to  thy 
ways,  and  will  =  recompense  upon  thee 
all  thine  abominations. 

4  And  "^  mine  eye  shall  not  spare  thee, 
neither  will  I  have  pity  :  but  I  will  re- 
compense thy  ways  upon  thee,  and  thine 
abominations  shall  be  in  the  midst  of 
thee  ;  and  ye  shall  know  that  1  am  the 
Lord. 

5  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  An  evil, 
«■  an  only  evil,  behold,  is  come. 

6  An  end  is  come,  the  end  is  come  : 
it  f  watchelh  for  thee  ;  behold,  it  is

O  thou  that  dwellest  in  the  land ;  the

near,  andnotthe  '  sounding  again  of  the

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  si.xlh 
year,  in  the  sixth  month,  in  the  fifih  day 
of  the  month,  as  ^\  sat  in  mine  house, 
and  the  elders  of  Judah  sat  ^  before  me, 
that  the  <=  hand  of  the  Lord  God  fell 
there  upon  me. 

2  Then  1  beheld,  and,  lo,  a  likeness 
as  the  appearance  of  "i  fire  :  from  the 
appearance  of  his  loins,  even  down- 
ward, fire  :  and  from  his  loins,  even  up- 
ward, as  the  appearance  of  "=  brightness, 
as  the  colour  of  amber. 

3  And  he  put  forth  the  form  of  an  hand, 
and  took  me  by  a  lock  of  mine  head, 
and  the  *  spirit  hfted  me  up  e  between 
the  earth  and  the  heaven,  and  brought 
me  in  the  visions  of  God  to  Jerusalem, 
to  the  door  of  the  inner  gate  that  look- 
eth  toward  the  north,  where  ijas  the 
seat  of  the  '>  image  of  jealousy,  which  ' 
provoketh  to  jealousy. 

4  And,  behold,  the  I' glory  of  the  God 
of  Israel  •was  there,  according  to  the 
vision  that  I  '  saw  in  the  plain. 

5  H  Then  said  he  unto  me.  Son  of 
man,  ■"  lift  up  thine  eyes  now  the  way 
toward  the  north.  So  I  lified  up  mine 
eyes  the  way  toward  the  north,  and,  be- 
hold, northward  at  the  gate  of  the  altar, 
this  image  of  jealousy  in  the  entry. 

6  He  said  furthermore  unto  me,  Sou 
of  man,  seest  thou  what  they  do  ?  even 
the  great  abominations  that  the  house 
of  Israel  committeth  here,  that  "  I 
should  go  far  off  from  my  sanctuary  ? 
But  turn  thee  yet  again,  andXhnu  shalt 
see  greater  abominations.

of  the  court ;  and  wiien  I  looked,  be-

gery \  for  they  say,  The  Lord  ^  seeth 
us  not;  the  Lord  huh  y  forsaken  the 
earth. 

13  If  He  said  also  unto  me,  Turn  thee 
yet  again,  and  thou  shalt  ''■  see  greater 
aboninations  that  they  do. 

14  'Ihen  he  hr-ugh*.  me  to  tiie  door 
of  the  gate  of  the  Lord's  house  which 
'WHS  toward  the  iv;nr>  ;  and,  behold, 
'here  sat  » vvonien  weeping  for  ^  Tam- 
muz 

15  fl  Then  said  he  unto  me,  Hast 
•  hou  seen  this,  O  son  of  man  ?  turn  thee 
yet  again,  and  th.iu  shalt  see  greater 
abominations  than  these. 

16  And  he  broiiglit  me  into  the  in- 
ner court  of  the  Lord's  house;  and, 
behold,  at  the  door  of  the  temple  of  the 
Lord,  '  between  the  porch  and  the  altar, 
were  about  <i  five  and  twenty  men,  with 
their  '■  backs  toward  the  temple  of  the 
Lord,  and  their  faces  toward  the  east ; 
and  they  worshipped  the  ^  sun  toward 
the  east. 

17  H  Then  he  said  unto  me.  Hast  thou 
seen  this,  O  son  of  man  ?  Is  it  a  light 
thing  to  the  house  of  Judah  that  they 
commit  the  abominations  which  they 
commit  g  here  ?  for  they  have  i>  filled 
the  land  with  violer^ce,  and  have  re- 
turned to  provoke  me  to  anger  ;  and, 
lo,  they  put  the  brancli  '  to  their 
nose. 

18  Tlierefore  will  I  also  deal  ^  in  fury : 
mine  eye  shall  not  spare,  neither  will  I 
have  pity ;  and  tiiough  they  ■  cry  in 
mine  ears  with  a  loud  voice,  yet  will  I 
not  hear  them.

1  A  vision,  sheiuing  the  preservation  of 
some,  5  and  the  destruction  of  the  rest. 
HE  cried  also  -^  in  mine  ears  with 
a  loud  voice,  saying,  Cause  them  that 
''  have  charge  over  the  city  to  draw  near, 
even  every  man  v:ith  his  destroying  wea- 
pon in  his  hand. 

2  And,  behold,  six  ■=  men  came  from 
the  way  of  the  higher  gate,  which  lieth 
toward  the  north,  and  every  man  ''  u 
slaughter-weapon  m  his  hand  ;  and  ^ 
one  man  f  among  them  was  clothed  with 
linen,  with  a  writer's  :  ink-horn  by  his 


side ;  and  tliey  went  in,  and  stood  be- 
side the  brasen  altar. 

3  And  the  ^^  glory  <>f  the  God  of  Is- 
rael was  gone  up  from  the  cherub, 
whereupon  he  was,  to  the  •  threshold  of 
the  house :  and  he  called  to  the  man  clo- 
thed v»ith  linen,  wliich  had  the  writer's 
ink-horn  by  !us  side  ; 

4  Aiid  the  Lord  said  unto  him,  Go 
through  the  midst  of  this  city,  througli 
the  midst  of  Jerusalem,  and  set  ^  a 
mark  upon  the  foreheads  of  the  men  that 
'  sig^  and  that  ciy  for  all  the  abomina- 
tions that  be  di:ne  in  the  midst  thereof 

5  If  And  to  the  others  he  said  in  mine 
heaniig,  Go  ye  "  after  him  through  the 
city  and  smite  ;  let  not  your  eye  spare, 
neither  have  ye  pity  : 

6  Slay  utterly  old  and  young,  both 
maids  and  httle  children,  and  women  ; 
but  n  come  not  near  any  man  upon 
'^•hom  is  the  mark  ;  and  «  begin  at  m^ 
sanctuary.  Then  they  began  at  p  the 
ancient  men  which  were  before  the 
h'luse. 

7  And  he  said  unto  them,  i  Defile 
the  house,  and  fill  the  courts  with  the 
slain ;  go  ye  forth.  And  they  went 
forth,  and  slew  in  tlie  city. 

8  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  while  they 
were  slaying  tliem,  and  I  was  left,  that 
f  I  fell  upon  my  face,  and  cried,  and 
said,  s  Ah  Lord  God!  wilt  thou  desiro> 
all  the  t  residue  of  Isi-ael  in  thy  pouring 
out  of  thy  fury  upon  Jerusalem  \ 

9  Then  said  he  unto  me.  The  ini- 
quity of  the  house  of  Israel  and  Judah 
is  "  exceeding  great,  and  the  land  is 
full  of  "  blood,  and  the  city  full  of  per- 
verseness  :  for  they  say.  The  Lord 
hath  forsaken  the  earth,  and  the  Lord 
y  seeth  not. 

10  And  as  for  me  also,  mine  eye  shall 
not  spare,  neither  will  I  have  pity  ;  but 
I  will  ^  recompense  their  way  upon 
their  head. 

11  And  behold,  the  man  clothed  with 
linen,  which  Iiadihc  ink-horn  by  his  side, 
reported  the  matter,  saying,  1  have  ^ 
done  as  thou  hast  commanded  me.

went  in  ;  and  the  cloud  ^  filled  the  inner 
court. 

4  Then  the  '  glory  of  the  Lord  went 
up  from  the  clierub,  and  stood  over  the 
threshold  of  the  house  ;  and  the  house 
was  tilled  with  the  cloud,  and  the  court 
was  full  of  the  brightness  of  the  Lord's 
gloiy. 

5  And  the  sound  of  the  cherubims' 
wings  was  heard  et<f7z  to  the  ''  outer 
court,  as  the  '  voice  of  the  Almighty 
God  when  he  speaketh. 

6  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  '" 
he  had  commanded  I  he  man  clotlied 
with  linen,  saying.  Take  fire  from  be- 
tween tlie  wheels,  from  between  the 
cherubims  :  then  he  went  in,  and  "  stood 
besidt-  the  wheels . 

7  And  one  cherub  stretched  forth  his 
iiand  from  between  the  cherubims  unto 
the  fire  that  =aas  between  the  cherubims, 
and  took  thereof,  and  "  put  it  into  the 
hands  of  hhn  that  was  clothed  with  li- 
nen ;  who  took  it,  and  went  out. 

8  ^  And  there  appeared  in  the  che- 
rubims the  p  form  of  a  man's  q  hand 
under  their  wings. 

9  And  when  I  looked,  behold,  the 
four  wheels  by  the  cherubims,  one 
wheel  by  one  cherub,  and  another  wheel 
by  another  cherub  :  and  the  appearance 
of  the  ■•  wheels  ivas  as  the  colour  of  a 
beryl-stop.e. 

10  And  as  for  their  appearances,  they 
four  had  one  likeness,  as  if  a  wheel  had 
been  in  the  midst  of  a  wheel. 

11  When  they  ^  went,  they  went  up- 
on their  four  sides  ;  they  turned  not  as 
they  went,  but  to  the  place  whither  the 
'  head  looked  they  "  followed  it ;  they 
turned  not  as  they  went. 

12  And  their  whole  body,  and  their 
backs,  and  their  hands,  and  tlieir  wings, 
and  the  wheels,  ivere  '^  full  of  eyes  round 
about,   even  the  wheels  that  they  four

13  As  for  the  wheels  it  was  cried  un- 
jPsajm  _  to  them  in  my  hearing,  y  O  wheel ! 

14  And  ^  every  one  had  four  faces  : 
the  first  face  'n-as  the  face  of  a  ^  cherub, 
and  the  second  face  was  the  face  of  a 
man,  and  the  third  the  face  of  a  lion, 
and  the  fourth  the  face  of  an  eagle. 

15  And  the  cherubims  were  lifted  up. 
This  is  the  living  creature  that  I  saw 
by  the  river  of  Chebar. 

16  And  when  the  cherubims  went, 
the  wheels  went  by  them  ;  and  when 
tlie  cherubims  lifted  up  their  wings  to 
mount  up  from  the  earth,  the  same

Lord  ;  for  ye  have  not  walked  in. my 
statutes,  neither  executed  my  judg- 
ments, but  have  done  ><  after  the  man- 
ners of  the  heathen  that  are  round  a- 
bout  you. 

13  fl  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  I  y 
prophesied,  that  Pelatiah,  the  son  of 
Benaiah,  ^  died  :  then  fell  I  ^  down 
upon  my  face,  and  cried  with  a  loud 
voice,  and  said.  Ah,  Lord  God  !  wilt 
thou  make  a  full  end  of  the  remnant  of 
Israel ? 

14  II  t.  Again  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying, 

15  Son  of  man,  thy  brethren,  even 
thy  brethren,  the  men  of  thy  kindred, 
and  all  the  house  of  Israel  wholly,  are 
they  <:  unto  whom  the  inhabitants  of  Je- 
rusalem have  said,  ^  Get  ye  far  from 
the  Lord  ;  unto  <=  us  is  this  land  given 
in  possession. 

16  Therefore  say,  Thus  saith the  Lord 
God,  Although  I  have  ^  cast  them  far 
oft'  among  tlie  heathen,  and  although  I 
have  scattered  them  among  the  coun- 
tries, yet  I  will  be  to  them  as  g  a  little 
sanctuary  in  the  countries  where  they 
shall  come. 

17  Therefore  say.  Thus  saith  the 
Lord  Gou,  I  will  even  ^  gather  you 
from  the  people,  and  assemble  you  out  of 
the  countries  wliere  ye  have  been'scatter- 
ed,  and  I  will  give  you  the  land  of  Israel. 

18  And  they  shall  come  thither,  and 
they  shall  '  take  away  all  the  detestable 
things  thereof,  and  all  the  abominations 
thereof,  from  thence. 

19  And  I  will  g'ive  them  ^  one  heart, 
and  I  will  put  a  new  spirit  within  you; 
and  I  will  take  the  stony  heart  out  of 
their  flesh,  and  will  give  them  an  heart 
of  flesh ; 

20  That  they  may  walk  in  my  stat- 
utes, and  keep  mine  ordinances,  and  ' 
do  them  :  and  they  shall  be  my  people, 
and  I  will  be  their  God. 

21  But  as  for  thein  "•  whose  heart 
walketh  after  the  heart  of  their  de- 
testable things  and  their  abominations, 
I  will  recompense  their  way  upon  their 
own  heads,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

22  ^[  Then  did  the  cherubims  lift  up 
their  wings,  antl  the  wheels  beside 
them  ;  and  the  glory  of  the  God  of 
Israel  vias  over  them  above. 

23  And  the  "  glory  of  the  Lord 
went  up  from  the  midst  of  the  city,  aiid 
°  stood  upon  the  mountain  which  is  on 
the  east  side  of  the  city. 

24  II  Afterwards  the  spirit  took  me 
up,  and  brought  me  in  a  vision  by  the  p 
Spirit  of  God  into  Chaldea,  to  them  of 
the  captivity  :  so  the  vision  that  I  had 
seen  went  up  from  me. 

25  Then  I  spake  unto  them  of  the 
captivity  <5  all  the  things  that  the  Lord 
had  shewed  me.

THE  word  of  the  Lord  also  came

they  are  a  rebellious  iiouse.  "  " 

3  Therefore,  thou  son  of  man,  pre- 
pare thee  stuff  for  removing,  and  re-

shalt  remove  from  thy  place  to  another  28.3. 
place  in  their  sight :  it  may  be  they  will

from  the  sv/ord,  fi-om  the  famine,  and 
from  the  pestilence,  that  they  may  '  de- 
clare all  their  abominations  among  the 
heathen  whither  they  come ;  and  tliey 
shall  know  that  I  r.Tn  the  Lord. 

17 II  Moreover,  the  word  of  the  Lord 
camet)  me,  saying, 

18  Son  of  man,  eat  thy  bread  with 
quaking,  and  drink  thy  water  witli  " 
trembling  and  with  carefulness  ; 

19  And  say  unto  the  people  of  the 
land,  thus  saith  the  Lord  God  of  the 
inhabitants  of  Jerusilem,  and  of  the 
land  of  Israel,  They  shall  eat  their 
bread  with  carefulness,  and  drink  their 
water  with  astonishment,  that  her  land 
maybe  '^  desolate  from  all  that  is  therein, 
because  of  the  violence  of  all  them  that 
dwell  therein. 

20  Aijd  the  cities  that  are  inhabited 
shall  be  laid  waste,  and  the  land  shall 
be  desolate  ;  and  ye  sJiall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord. 

21  ^  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  rne,  saying, 

22  Son  of  man,  what  is  that  proverb 
that  ye  have  in  the  land  of  Israel,  say- 
ing, y  The  days  are  prolonged,  and 
every  vision  faileth  ? 

23  Tell  them  therefore.  Thus  sailh 
the  Lord  God,  I  will  make  this  proverb 
to  cease,  and  they  shall  no  more  use  it 
as  a  proverb  in  Israel :  but  say  unto 
them,  The  '^  days  are  at  hand,  and  the 
effect  of  every  vision. 

24  For  there  shall  be  no  more  any 
^  vain  vision,  nor  t  flattering  divination, 
wit'iin  the  house  of  Israel. 

25  For  I  am  the  Lord  :  I  will  speak, 
and  the  word  thai  I  sliall  speak  shall  •= 
come  to  pass  ;  it  shall  be  no  more  pro- 
longed :  lor  in  your  days,  O  rebellious 
house,  will  I  say  the  word,  and  will 
perform  it,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

26  ^  Again,  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  to  mc,  saying, 

27  Son  of  man,  behold,  they  ofK\\e 
house  of  Israel,  say,  The  vision  that  he 
seelh  is  for  '•  many  days  to  come,  and  he 
prophesieth  of  the  times  that  are   far 

•off-. 

28  Therefore  say  unto  them,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  There  shall  none 
of  my  words  be  prolont;ed  any  more  ; 
but  liie  word  which  I  have  spoken  shall 
be  done,  saith  the  Lord  God.

6  They  have  seen  g  vanity  and  lying  23, 30. 
divination,   saying,   The   Lord  saith  : /i  Sam. 
and  the  Lord  hath  not  sent  them  :  and  l^cW 
they  have  made  ^■'others  to  hope  that  12.  24.

and  have  ye  not  spoken  a  lying  divina-  2.  iS.

it ;  albeit  I  have  not  spoken  ? 

8  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Loi  d  God, 
Because  ye  have   spoken  vanity,   and 
seen    lies,   therefore,    beliold,  ^  I  am  *  Je?.

9  And  mine  hand  shall  be  upon  the  23.\i.

not  ^  be  said  unto  you.  Where  is  "  the  23. 19. 
daubing  wherewith  ye  have  daubed  it  ?  30.^19" 

13  Therefore   thus    saith   the    Lord  /  Lam. 
God,  I  will  even  rend  it  with  a  stormy  ^'j^* 
wind  in  my  fury  ;  and  there  shall  be  an  7. 4.  and 
overflowing  shower  in  mine  anger,  and  28.  i.and

14-  So  will  I  break  down  the  wall  that

AND  the  word  of  tlie  Lord  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  Wiiat  is  the  =»  vine  tree 
more  than  any  tree,  or  than  a  branch 
which  is  among  the  trees  of  tlie  forest  ? 

3  Shall  wood  be  taken  thereof  ^  to 
do  any  work  ?  or  will  inen  take  ■=  a  pin 
of  it  to  hang  any  vessel  thereon  ? 

4  Behold,  it  is  cast  into  the  fire  for 
fuel :  the  fire  devoureth  both  the  ends 
of  it,  and  tiie  midst  of  it  is  burnt.  Is 
it  meet  for  any  work  ? 

5  Behold,  when  it  was  whole  it  was 
meet  for  no  work :  =  how  much  less 
shall  it  be  meet  yet  for  any  work  when 
the  fire  hath  devoured  it,  and  it  is 
burned ! 

6  TI  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  f  As  the  vine-tree  among  the  trees 
of  the  forest,  which  I  have  given  to  the 
fire  for  fuel,  so  will  I  give  the  inhabit- 
ants of  Jerusalem. 

7  And  1  will  g  set  my  face  against 
them  ;  they  shall  go  out  from  ''  one  fire, 
and  another  fire  shall  devour  them  ;  and 
ye  shall  know  that  I  ain  the  Lord, 
when  I  set  my  face  against  them. 

8  And  1  will  make  the  land  ■  deso- 
late, because  they  have  committed  a 
trespass,  saith  the  Lord  God.

8  Now,  when  I  passed  by  thee,  and  ^^j^' 
looked  upon  thee,  behold,  thy  time  was 
the  time  of  f  love  ;   and  I  spread  my  tHeb.

26  Thou  hast  also  committed  fornica-

p  Isaiah    hours,  great  of  flesh ;  antl  hast  increased 

thy  whoredoms,  to  provoke  me  to  anger.

sins  that  tliou  hast  committed  more  a- 
b  uninable  than  they  :  they  are  more  '

spi-.ik  a  parable  unto  » the  house  of  Is- 
rael; 

3  And  say,  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God, 

A  great  tagle  with  great  winrs,  ''lai^-  *^aniel 
.^ulged,  full  of  feathers,   which  had  di-  4;iJ22. 
verse  colours,  came  untr.  Lebanon,  ana

4  He  <i  cropped   off  the  top  of  his  Ai,ios 
young  twigs,  and  carried  it  into  a  lan>   2.9. 

;.f  traffic;  he    set  it  in  a  city  of  mer  24^ fg."^' 

chants.  Rev.  ' 

5  He  took  also  of  ■=  the  seed  of  the  ^%^\ 
land,  and  planted  it  in  a  f  fruitful  field ;  75  e^j 
he  placed  it  by  great  waters,  and  set  it  ii3.  8. 
as  a  willow-tree.  '{^1^2^^ 

6  And  it  R  grew,  and  became  a  spread  ch.  20.  6. 
ing  vine  of  low  stature,  whose  branche    ^Jer. 
turned  toward  him,  and  the  roots  then  -  ^^'  j,,^ 
of  were  under  him  :  so  it  became  a  vine,  ii.andii. 
and  brought  forth  branches,  and  shoi  3,s,  10. 
forth  sprigs. 

7  There  was  also  ''  another  great  ea-  'j  2  Kings 
gle  with  great  wings  and  many  featiiers ;  jgV.  52.3 
and,  behold,  this  vine  did  ■  bend  hei  « 2  Chr.  " 
roots  toward  him,  and  shot  forth  her  ^^'j.^^- 
branches  toward  him,  that  lie  might  wa-  ^^^'  ^  ' 
ter  it  by  the  furrows  of  her  plantation. 

8  It  was  planted  in  a  good  soil  by 
great  waters,  that  it  might  bring  forth 
branches,  and  that  it  might  bear  fruit, 
that  it  might  be  a  goodly  vine. 

9  Say  thou,  Thus  saith  the  Lord G on. 

Shall  it  k  prosper  ?  shall  '  he  not  pull  up  *  Isaiah 
ihe  roots  thereof,  and  cut  off  the  fruit  j^^ij 
thereof,  that  it  wither  ?  it  shall  wither  verse  6. 
in  ail  the  leaves  of  her  spring,  even  with- '  2  Kings 
out  great  power,  or  many  people  to  pluck  jeVysp^g 
it  up  by  the  roots  thereof.  versei.  ' 

10  Yea,  behold,  being  planted  sliall  it 
prospei-  ?   shall   it    not    utterly  wither 
when  the   ■"  east  wind  toucheth  it  \  it  '« Gen. 
sliall   wither  in  the    furrows  where  it  hosm 
grew.  13. 15. 

11  Tt  Moreover,  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  unto  me,  saying,

23  Have  I  any  ">  pleasure  at  all  that 
the  wicked  should  die?  saith  the  Lord 
God  ;  and  rot  that  he  should  iielurn  from

24  ^  But  when  n  the  righteous  turnetli

tioned :  in  his  trespass  that  he  hath 
trespassed,  and  in  his  sin  that  he  hath 
sinned,  in  them  shall  he  die. 

25  if  Yet  q  ye  say.  The  way  of  the

26  When   a  righteous   inan  turneth

niitteth  iniquity,  anddieih  in  them  :  for 
his  iniquity  that  he  hath  done  shall  he

27  Again,  when  the  wicked  vian  turn- 
eth away  fiom  his  wickedness  that  he 
hath  committed,  and  doeth  that  which 
is  lawful  and  right,  he  shall  f  save  his

28  Because  he  '  considereth,  and  turn-

he  sliall  not  die. 

29  Yet  saitli  the  hou.'ie  of  Isr.iel,  The

6  In  the  da.y  that  I  lifted  up  mine

with  the  idols  of  Egypt :  I  ami  the  Lord

would  "  i.ot  hearken  unto  me  :  they  did 
not  eveiy  man  cast  au  ay  the  abomina- 
tions of  their  eyes,  neither  did  they  for-

thine  "  hands  be  strong,  in  tjie  days  that

she  was  mine  ;  and  slie  doted  on  her 
lovers,  on  the  ^  Assyrians  her  neigh- 
bours, 

6  TVhich  ivere  clothed  wilh  blue,  cap- 
tains and  rulers,  all  of  them  desirable 
young  men,  horsemen  riding  upon  horses. 

7  Thus  she  committed  tier  whore- 
corns  with  them,  e  with  all  them  that 
were  the  chosen  men  of  Assyria,  and 
V  ith  all  on  whom  she  doted  :  with  all 
their  idols  s!ie  defiled  herself. 

8  Neither  left  she  iier  whoredoms  '< 
brought  from  Egypt :  for  in  her  3'outh 
they  lay  with  her,  and  they  bruised  the 
breasts  of  her  virginity,  and  poured 
their  whoredom  upon  her. 

9  Wherefore  I  have  ■  delivered  her 
into  the  hand  of  her  lovers,  into  the 
hand  of  the  Assyrians,  upon  whom  she 
doted. 

10  These  k  discovered  her  nakedness  ; 
they  took,  her  sons  and  lier  daughters, 
and  slew  her  with  the  sword  :  and  she 
became  '  famous  among  women :  for 
they  had  executed  judgment  upon  her. 

11  And  when  her' sister  Aholibah  saw 
this,  she  was  ^  more  corrupt  in  her  in- 
ordinate love  than  she,  and  in  iier 
whoredoms  more  than  her  sister  in  her 
whoredoms. 

12  She  "  doted  upon  the  Assyrians 
her  neighbours,  captains  and  rulers 
clothed  most  gorgeously,  horsemen  rid- 
ing upon  horses,  all  of  them  desirai/Ie 
young  men. 

13  Then  I  saw  that  she  was  defiled, 
that  they  took  both  °  one  way; 

14  And  that  she  increased  her  whore- 
doms :  for  when  she  saw  men  p  pour- 
irayed  upon  the  wall,  the  images  of  the 
Chaldeans  pourtrayed  with  i  vermilion, 

15  Girded  with  girdles  upon  their 
loins,  exceeding  in  dyed  attire  upon 
their  heads,  all  of  tliem  pruices  to  look 
to,  after  the  manner  of  the  Bab\lonians 
of  Chal'Jea,  the  land  of  their  nativity: 

16  And  as  soon  as  she  ■■  saw  them  with 
her  eyes  she  doled  upon  them,  and  sent 
messengers  unto  them  into  Cliaklea. 

17  And  tiie  '  Babylonians  came  to  Iier 
into  the  bed  of  love,  and  they  defiled 
her  with  their  whoredom  ;  and  she  was 
polluted  with  them,  and  her  '  mind  was 
alienated  from  them. 

18  So  she  discovered  her  whoredoms, 
and  discovered  her  nakedness:  then  my 
mind  was  alienated  frfim  her,  like  as 
my  mind  was  "  alienated  from  her  sis'.er. 

19  Yet  she  ■'-  multiplied  her  whore- 
doms, y  in  calling  to  remembrance  the 
days  of  her  youth,  wherein  she  had 
played  the  harlot  in  tlie  land  of  Egypt. 

20  For  she  doted  upon  their  f  para- 
mours, whose  flesh  is  ns  the  liesh  of 
asses,  and  whose  issue  is  like  the  issue 
of  horses. 

21ThusthoucaUed5t  toremembrance 
the  lewdness  of  tliy  youth,  in' ^bruising 
thy  teats  by  the  Egyptians  for  llic  paps 
of  thv  vouth.

24  And  they  shall  come  against  thre 
with  chariots,  waggons,  and  wheels,  and 
with  an  assembly  of  people,  ivhich  shall 

I  set  against  thee  buckler,  ai.(}  shield,  and

36  ^  Tlie  I, CRD  said  moreover  unto 
me,  Son  of  man,  wilt  thou  judge  Aho-

37  That  they  have  committed  adul-

with  their  idols  have  tliey  committed 
adultery ;  and  have  also  caused  their

for  them  tliroug-h  the  fire,  to  devour 
thein. 

3J  Moreover,  this  they  have  done 
unto  me  ;  they  have  ==  defiled  my  sanc- 
tuary in  the  same  day,  and  have  pro- 
laned  my  sabbaths. 

39  For  when  they  had  slain  their 
(7  2  Kings  children  to  their  idols,  »  tlien  they 
21-4.        came  the  sanie  day  into  my  sanctuary 

to  proi'ane  it ;  and,  lo,  thus  have  they 
done  in  the  midst  of  mine  house. 

40  And,  i'uriherma'e,  tha'  ye  have 
sent  for  men  to  come  from  far,  unto 
whom  a  messenger  lutw  sent ;  and,  lo,

Hosea  Sabeims  from  the  wilderness,  which  put

43  Then  said  I  unto  her  thativas  '"old 
in  adulteries,  Will  they  now  commit 
wiioredoms  with  lier,  and  she  ivith 
thein  ? 

44  Yet  they  went  in  unto  her  ;  as 
they  go  in  unto  a  woman  that  playeth 
tlie  harlot,  so  went  they  in  unto  Aholah 
and  unto  Aholibah,  the  lewd  women. 

45  ^[  And  the  s  righteous  men,  they

AGAIN,  in  the  »  ninth  year,  in  the  a  2Kings

montli,  the  word  of  the  Lord  came*^^*^*^* 
unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  write  thee  the  name 
of  the  day,  even  of  this  same  day  ;  the 
king  of  Babylon  ^  set  himself  agaias; 
Jerusalem  this  same  day. 

3  And  utter  a  parable  unto  the  rebel- 
lious house,  and  say  unto  them.  Thus 
saiil)  the  Lord  God,  Set  on  '^  a  pot,  set  c  Jer.

4  Behold,  therefore  I  will  deliver 
iliee  to  the  ''  men  of  the  east  for  a  pos- 
session, and  they  shall  «  set  their  pala- 
ces in  thee,  and  make  their  dwellings 
in  thee  :  they  '  shall  eat  thy  fruit,  and 
they  shall  drink  thy  milk. 

5  And  I  will  ina'ke  ?  Rabbah  a  stable 
tor  camels,  and  the  Amoionites  acnuch- 
ing-place  for  flocks  :  and  ye  shall  know 
that  I  avi  the  Lord. 

6  F^ir  thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Ei- 
cause  thou  hast  ^  clapped  thitie  hand', 
and  stamped  witli  the  feet,  and  rejoicet 

'  in  h.eart   v,  ith  all  thy  despite  agains

7  Behold,  therefore,  I  will  k  stretr!. 
out  mine  hand  upon  thee,  and  will  d.-- 
liver  thee  for  a  spoil  to  tie  heathen; 
and  I  will  cut  thee  off  from  the  people, 
and  1  will  cause  thee  to  perish  out  of 
the  countries  :  I  will  destroy  thee  ;  and 
tliou  shalt  know  tha'  I  mn  t'.<-  Lord. 

8  ^  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God.  Bee  ause 
that  1  Moab  and  ™  Seir  do  say,  Beh'.l-,i. 
the  n  house  of  Judah  is  like  unto  all  the 
heat  hen  ; 

9  Therefore,  behold,  I  will  °  open  li:e 
side  of  Moab  from  the  cities,  from  his 
cities  ivhich  are  on  his  frontiers,  tiiC 
glory  of  the  coimtry,  Beth-jeshimctJi, 
Baal-meon,  and  Kiriath:'.im, 

10  Unto  the  men  of  tl;e  east  with  the 
Ammonites,  and  will  give  them  in  pos- 
session, that  the  Amm:mi:es  may  p  not 
be  remembered  among  the  nations. 

11  And  I  will  execute  judgments  up- 
on Moab  ;  and  they  shall  know  that  I 
am  the  Lord. 

12  fl  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Be- 
cause that  Edom  hath  dealt  against  the 
house  of  Judah  by  h  taking  venge&nce, 
and  hath  preatly  f  offended,  and  reveng- 
ed liimself  upon  tliem  ; 

13  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord  God, 
I  will  also  stretch  out  mine  hand  upon 
Edom,  and  will  s  cut  eft'  man  and  be:;st 
from  it ;  and  I  will  make  it  desolate 
from  Teman  ;  and  they  of  Dedan  shall 
full  by  the  sword. 

14  And  I  will '  lay  my  vengeance  up- 
on Edom  by  '■'  the  hand  of  my  people 
Israel  :  and  they  shall  do  in  Edom  ac- 
C!;iding  to  mine  anger,  and  according  to 
my  i'v.ry  ;  and  they  sh^U  know  my  ven- 
geance,  saith  the  Lord  God. 

15  If  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  Be- 
cause the  Philistines  have  dealt  "  by  re- 
venge, and  have  taken  vengeance  wit!' 
a  cle-piteful  heart,  to  destroy  it  for  the 
•  old  1  atred; 

16  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  BehoUl,  I  will  stretch  out  mine 
hand  upon  the  Philistines,  and  I  will  cu . 
off  the  •'  Cherethims,  and  destroy  the 
remnant  of  the  sea-coasts. 

17  And  I  will  execute  '  great  ve  .. 
geunce  upon  them  with  ^  furious  it  - 
bukes ;  and  they  shall  know  that  I  avi

stick  unto  thy  scales. 

5  And  I  will  leave  thee  throixn  into

Ihy  rivers  :  tliou  shalt  fall  upon  the  open 
fields  ;  thou  shalt  not  be  brought  tog-e- 
ther, nor  gathered  ;  I  have  given  thee 
for  meat  to  the  beasts  of  ■>  the  field,  and 
to  the  fowls  of  the  heaven. 

6  And  all  the  inhabitants  of  Egypt 
■  shall  know  that  I  am  the  Lord,  be- 
cause they  have  been  ^a  stafl'ofreed  to 
the  house  of  Israel. 

7  When  they  '  took  hold  of  thee  by 
thy  hand,  thou  didst  break,  and  rend  all 
their  shoulder  ;  antl  when  they  leaned 
upon  thee  thou  "  brakest,  andmadest 
all  their  loins  to  be  at  a  stand. 

8  ^  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  Behold,  "  I  will  bring  a  sword  up- 
on thee,  and  cut  off  man  and  beast  out 
of  thee. 

9  And  the  land  of  Egypt  shall  be  »  de- 
solate and  waste  ;  and  they  shall  know 
that  1  am  the  Lord  :  because  he  hath 
said,  The  river  is  mine,  and  I  have 
made  it. 

10  Behold,  therefore,  I  am  against 
thee,  and  against  thy  riverc,  and  I  will 
make  the  land  of  Egypt  p  utterly  waste 
a)id  desolate,  from  the  tower  of  Syene 
even  unto  the  border  of  Ethiopia. 

11  No  foot  of  man  shall  pass  through 
it,  nor  foot  of  beast  shall  pass  through 
it,  neither  shall  it  be  1  inhabited  forty 
years. 

12  And  I  will  make  the  land  of  Egypt 
desolate  in  the  midst  of  the  countries 
that  are  desolate,  and  her  cities  among 
the  cities  that  are  laid  waste  shall  be 
desolate  forty  years  ;  and  I  wiU  ^  scat- 
ter the  Egyptians  among  tlie  nations, 
and  will  disperse  them  through  the 
countries. 

13  If  Yet  thus  saith  the  Lord  God, 
At  the  s  end  of  forty  years  will  I  gather 
the  Egyptians  from  the  people  whither 
they  were  scattered  : 

14  And  I  will  bring  again  the  '  cap-

return  into  the  land  of  Pathros,  into  the 
land  of  their  habitation  ;  and  they  shall 
be  there  a  base  kingdom. 

15  It  shall  be  the  basest  of  the  king- 
^2  Kings  doms  ;  neither  shall  it  "  exalt  itself  any

I  A  relation  unto  Pharaoh  of  (he  glory  of 
Assyria,  10  and  the  fall  thereof:  18  a 
like  destruction  to  Egypt. 

AND  it  came  to  pass  in  the  ele- 
venth year,  in  the  third  month,  in  the 
tirst  day  of  the  month,  that  the  word  of 
the  Lord  came  unto  me,  saying, 

2  Son  of  man,  speak  unto  Pharaoh 
king  of  Egypt,  and  to  his  nsuUitude  ;  ^ 
Whom  art  thou  like  in  thy  greatness  ? 

3  Behold,  the  Assyrian  ivas  a  cedar 
in  Lebanon  with  fair  branches,  and  witi; 
''  a  shadowing  shroud,  and  of  an  high 
stature ;  and  his  top  was  among  ttie 
thick  boughs. 

4  The  '  waters  made  him  great,  the 
deep  set  him  up  on  high  with  her  rivers 
running  round  about  his  plants,  and  sent 
out  her  ^  httle  rivers  unto  all  the  trees 
of  the  tield. 

5  Therefore  his  height  was  exalted  ^ 
above  all  the  ti-ees  of  the  field,  and  his 
boughs  were  multiplied,  and  his  branch- 
es became  long,  because  of  the  multi- 
tude of  waters,  when  he  shot  forih. 

6  Ail  the  ffowls  of  heaven  made  their 
nests  in  his  boughs,  and  under  his 
branches  did  all  tlie  beasts  of  the  field 
bring  forth  their  young,  and  under  his 
g  shadow  dwelt  all  great  nations. 

7  Thus  was  he  fair  in  his  greatness, 
in  the  length  of  his  branches :  for  his 
root  was  by  great  waters. 

8  The  cedars  in  the  ''  garden  of  Gcd 
could  not  hide  him  :  the  hr-irees  were 
not  like  his  boughs,  and  the  chesnut- 
trees  were  not  like  his  branches ;  nor 
;my  tree  in  the  garden  of  God  was  like 
unto  him  in  his  beauty. 

9  •  1  have  made  him  fair  by  the  mul- 
titude of  his  branches  ;  so  that  all  the 
^rees  of  Eden,  that  voere  in  the  garden 
of  God,  ^  envied  him. 

10  ^[  Therefore  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God,  Because  thou  hast '  lifted  up  thy- 
self in  height,  and  he  haih  shot  up  his 
top  among  the  thick  boughs,  and  his 
heart  is  lifted  up  in  his  lieight; 

11  '"  I  have,  therefore,  delivered  him 
into  the  hand  of  the  mighty  one  of  the 
heathen  ;  he  shall  surely  "  deal  with 
him  :  1  have  driven  him  out  for  his 
wickedness. 

12  And  strangers,  the  terrible  of  the 
nations,  have  cut  him  otl^  and  have  left 
him  :  upon  the  mountains  and  in  all  the 
valleys  his  branches  are  fallen,  and  his 
boughs  are  broken  by  all  the  rivers  of 
the  land  ;  and  all  the  people  of  the  earth 
are  gone  duwn  from  Jiis  shadow,  and 
have  left  him. 

13  Upon  his  ruin  shall  all  °  the  fowls 
of  the  heaven  remain,  and  all  the  beasts 
of  the  field  shall  be  upon  his  branches :

14  p  To  the  end  tliat  none  of  all  the 
trees  by  the  waters  exalt  themselves  for 
their  height,  neither  shoot  up  their  top 
among  tlie  thick  boughs,  neither  their

drink  water  :  for  they  are  all  delivered 
unto  death  to  the  nether  parts  of  the 
earth,  in  the  midst  of  the  children  of 
men,  with  them  that  go  down  to  the 
pit 

15  Thus  sailh  the  Lord  God,  In  the 
day  when  he  went  down  to  the  grave  1 
caused  a  mourning  :  i  I  covered  tlie 
deep  for  him,  and  1  restrained  the  floods 
thereof,  and  the  great  waters  were 
s'ayed ;  and  I  caused  Lebanon  to  mourn 
for  him,  and  all  the  trees  of  the  field 
fainted  for  him. 

16  I  made  the  nations  to  shake  at  the 
sound  of  his  fall,  when  I  cast  him  down 
to  hell  with  them  that  descend  into  the 
pit ;  and  all  the  trees  of  Eden,  the  choice 
and  best  of  Lebanon,  all  that  drink  wa- 
ter, shall  be  ^  comforted  in  the  nether 
parts  of  the  earth. 

17  They  also  went  down  into  hell 
with  him,  unto  them  that  be  slain  with 
the  sword  ;  and  they  that  Kere  his  arm, 
that  dwelt  under  his  shadow  in  the 
midst  of  the  heathen. 

18  ^To  whom  art  thou  thus  like  in 
glory  and  in  greatness  among  the  trees 
of  Eden  ?  yet  shalt  thou  be  brouglit 
down  with  the  trees  of  Eden  unto  tlie 
nether  parts  of  the  earth  :  thou  shalt  lie 
in  the  midst  of  the  uncircumcised  with 
them  that  be  slain  by  the  sword.  ^  This 
is  Pharaoh,  and  all  his  multitude,  saith 
the  Lord  God.

Loud  came  unto  me,  saying-,

for  Pharaoh  king  of  Egypt,  and  say  un- 
to him.  Thou  art  '-'  like  a  young  lion  of

6  But  if  the  watchman  see  the  sword

Before  that  he  shall  .surely  '  live  ;  if  he  ^  trust

iniquity,  all  'i's  righteousness  shall  not 
be  remembered :  but  for  his  iniquity 
that  he  hath  committed  he  shall  die  for 
it. 

14  Again,  when  I  say  unto  the  wick- 
ed. Thou  slialt  surely  'die;  it  he  turn 
from  his  sin,  and  do  tliat  which  is  " 
lawful  and  right ;

16  None  of  his  sins  that  he  hath  com- 
mitted sh.all  be  ^  mentioned  unto  iiim  :

say,  The  ^  way  of  the  Lord  is  not 
equal :  but,  as  for  them,  their  way  is 
not  equal. 

18  When  the  righteous  ^  turnethfrom 
his  righteousness,  and  committeth  ini- 
quity, he  shall  even  die  thereby. 

19  But  if  the  wicked  turn  from  his 
wickedness,  and  rlo  that  which  is  law- 
ful and  right,  he  shall  live  thereby. 

20  Yet  ye  say,  The  way  of  the  Lord 
is  not  equal.  O  ye  house  of  Israel,  I 
will  ■:  judge  you  "^  every  one  =  after  l;is 
ways. 

21  %  And  it  came  to  pass  in  f  the 
twelfth  year  of  our  captivity,  in  the  i 
tenth  month,  in  the  fifth  day  of  the 
month,  that  one  that  had  escaped  ouc 
of  Jerusalem  came  unto  me,  saying, 
The  city  is  smitten. 

22  Now  the  ^  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
le^"?'^^  upon  me  in  the  evening,  afore  he  that 

was  escaped  came,  and  had  ■  opened 
my  mouth  until  he  came  to  me  in  the 
morning ;  and  my  mouth  was  opened, 
and  I  was  no  more  dumb. 

23  Then  the  word  of  the  Lord  came 
unto  me,  saying, 

24  Son  of  man,  they  that  inhabit  those 
wastes  of  the  land  of  Israel  speak,  say- 
ing, k  Abraham  was  one,  and  he  inherit- 
ed tiie  land  :  but  '  we  are  many ;  the 
land  is  given  us  for  inheritance. 

25  Wheref  >re  say  unto  them.  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  Ye  eat  with  the  "> 
blood,  and  "  lift  up  your  eyes  toward 
your  idols,  and  shed  blood  :  and  shall 
ye  possess  tiie  land  \ 

26  "  Ye  stand  upon  your  sword,  ye 
work  abomination,  and  ye  defile  every 
one  his  neighbour's  wife  :  and  shall  ye 
possess  the  land  ? 

27  Say  thou  thus  unto  them,  Thus 
saith  the  Lord  God,  As  I  live,  surely 
they  (hat  are  in  tlie  wastes  sh.nll  fait  by 
the  sword  ;  and  him  th.it  is  in  tl)e  open 
field  will  I  give  to  the  beasts  to  be  de- 
voured ;  and  they  that  be  in  the  forts, 
and  in  the  caves,  shall  die  of  the  pesti-

chrTs^t  ^^^^^'  neither  did  my  i  shepherds  search

themselves,  and  fed  not  my  fiock  ; 

9  Therefore,  O  ye  shepherds,  hear 
the  word  of  I  he  Lord  ; 

10  Thus  saith  the  Lord  God,  behold, 
"^  I  atn  ao;ahist  the  shepherds  ;  and  I  will 
"  require  my  flock,  at  their  hand,  and 
cause  them  to  cease  from  feeding  the

themselves  any  more  :  for  I  will  deliver 
my  flock  from  their  mouth,  that  they 
may  not  be  meat  for  them. 

11  II  For  thus  saith  the  Lord  God, 
(52  Cor.  Behold  I,  even  I,  will  both  °  search  my 
ii.^28.       sheep,  and  seek  them  out. 

12  r  As  a  shepherd  seekcth  out  his 
fiock  in  the  day  that  he  is  among  his 
sheep  that  are  scattered  ;  so  will  I  seek 
out  my  sheep,  and  will  deliver  them  out 
of  all  places  where  they  have  been  scat- 
tered in  the  'i  cloudy  and  dark  day. 

13  And  I  will  bring  them  out  from 
the  people,  and  gather  them  from  the 
countries,  and  will  bring  them  to  their 
■^  own  land,  and  feed  tliem  upon  the 

3^18.  and  mountains  of  Israel  by  tlie  rivers,  and  in 
chap!  37.  all  the  inhabited  places  of  the  country. 

14  I  will  kei\  tliem  «  in  a  good  pas- 
ture, and  <\pon  the  high  mountains  of 
Israel  shall  their  fold  be:  there  shall 
they  lie  in  a  good  fold,  and  in  a  fat  pas- 
ture shall  they  feed  upon  the  mountains 
of  Israel. 

15  I  will  feed  my  flock,  and  I  will 
cause  them  to  «  lie  down,  s.aith  the 
Lord  God. 

16  1  will  seek  that  which  was  lost, 
and  bring  again  that  which  was  driven 
aw.ay,  and  will  bind  up  that  which  luas 
broken,  and  will  strengthen  that  which 
was  sick  :  but  I  will  destroy  "  the  fat 
and  the  strong ;  I  will  feed  them  with 
>^  judgment. 

17  And  as  for  you,  O  my  flock,  thus 

Amos"^**  ^^'"^'^  ^'^^  ^'°^^  ^°^'  Behold,  I  judge 
between  cattle  and  cattle,  between  the 
rams  and  the  y  he-goats. 

18  Seemeth  it  a  small  thing  unto  you

3  Mat.  have  drunk  of  the  deep  waters,  but  ye 
15. e.        must  foul  the  residue  with  your  feet?' 

19  And  as  for  my  flock,  they  eat  that 
which  yc  have  trodden  with  your  feet ; 
and  they  drink  that  which  ye  have  fouled 
with  ycnir  feet. 

20  'fl  Tiiereforc  thus  saith  the  Lord 
God  unto  ihem,  Behold  I,  even  I,  will 
judge  between  the  fat  cattle  and  be-

21  Because  ye  have  tlirust  with  side

17^  Andthou,  son  of  man,  thus  snith 
the  Lord  God,  Speak  unto  every  fea-

field,  Assemble  yourselves,  and  come  ; 
gather  yourselves  on  every  side  to  my 
s  sacrifice  that  I  do  sacrifice  for  you, 
even  a  great  sacrifice  upon  the  moun- 
itV,*^'^""  t*'"^  *^'  Israel,  that  ye  may  '  eat  flesh, 
and  drmk  blood. 

18  Ye  shall  eat  the  flesh  of  the 
mighly,  and  drink  the  blood  of  the  prii'- 
ces  of  the  earth,  of  rams,  of  lambs,  and 
of  goats,  of  bull«cls,  all  of  them  " 
tivtliiigs  of  Bashan. 

19  Andre  shall  eat  fat  till  ye  be  full, 
and  drink  blood  till  ye  be  drunken,  of  my 
sacrifice  w  hich  I  have  sacrificed  for  you. 

20  Thus  ye  shall  be  filled  at  my  table 
with  "  horses  and  chariots,  f  with  migh- 
ty men,  and  w  ith  all  men  of  war  saiih 
the  Lord  God. 

21  y  And  I  will  set  my  glory  among 
the  heathen,  and  all  the  heathen  sisull 
^see  my  judi^ment  (hat  I  have  execui 
ed,  and  »  my  hand  that  I  have  laid  upon 
them. 

22  So  the  house  cf  Israel  shall  know 
that  I  am  the  Lord  their  God  from 
that  day  and  forward. 

23  *\  And  the  heathen  shall  know  lliat 
t!ie  house  of  Israel  went  into  captivit;, 
for  their  •>  iniquity  :  because  they  tres- 
passed against  me,  therefore  '^  hid  I  my 
face  from  them,  and  gave  them  inti/ 
the  hand  of  their  enemies  ;  so  fell  they 
all  by  the  sword. 

24  According  to  their  uncleanness, 
and  according  to  their  transgressions, 
have  I  done  unto  them,  and  hid  my 
face  from  them. 

25  Therefi)re  thus  sailh  the  Lord 
God,  ^  Now  willl  bring  iigainthe  cap- 
'ivity  of  Jacob,  and  have  mercy  upon 
the  e  whole  house  if  Israel,  and  will  be 
jealous  for  my  holy  name  ; 

26  After  tiiat  they  have  borne  their 
shame,  and  all  iheir  f  trespasses  where- 
by they  have  trespassed  against  me, 
when  they  dwelt  safely  in  their  land, 
and  none  made  thon  afraid. 

27  When  I  have  brought  them  again 
from  the  people,  and  gathered  them  out 
of  their  enemies'  lands,  and  am  i  sanc- 
tified in  them  in  the  sight  of  many  na- 
tions i 

28  Then  shall  they  know  that  I  am 
the  Lord  their  God,  which  caused  them 
Vo  be  led  into  captivity  among  the  hea- 
then :  but  I  have  ■>  gathered  them  unto 
their  own  land,  and  have  left  none  of 
them  any  more  there. 

29  Neither  will  I  hide  my  face  •  any 
'Tiore  from  them  :  for  I  have  ^  poured 
out  my  Spirit  up-^n  the  house  of  Israel,

six  cubits  bro.id  on  the  one  side,  and 
six  cubiis  broad  on  the  other  side,  'xhich 
ivus  the  <:  breadtli  of  the  tabernacle.

ten  cubits  ;  and  tlie  sides  of  the  door 
ii;ere  five  cubits  on  the  one  side,  and 
five  cubits  on  the  other  side  ;  and  he 

¥>■  ^-  ^""^  measured  the  e  length  thereof,  forty  cu- 
eExod.     bits,  and  the  breadth,  twenty  cubits. 

3  Then  went  he  inward,  and  measur- 
ed the  post  of  the  door  two  cubits,  and 
the  door  six  cubits,  and  the  breadtli  of

unto  me,  This  is  the  most  holy  pLicc.

every  g  side-chamber  four  cubits,  round 
about  the  house  on  every  side. 

6  And  the  side -chambers  luere  three,

13  So  he  measured  the  house,  an  hun-

14  Also  the  breadth  of  the  face  of  the

/jcfiap.  THEN  »  he  brought  me  forth  into 

40.3.  the  t"  outer  court,  the  way  toward  the

walk  of  ten  cubits  breadth  inward,  a 
way  of  one  cubit ;  and  their  doors  to- 
wai-d  the  north.

;!rul2i.24.  ih;ui  these,  than  the  lower,  and  than  the 

iTiiddlemost  of  tlie  building. 

6  For  they  were  in  ihree  stories,  but 
had  not  pillars  as  the  pillars  of  the 
courts  :  therefore  the  building  was  strait- 
ened more  than  the  lowest  and  the  mid- 
dlemost from  the  ground.

hke  the  appearance  of  the  chambers

13  ^1  Then  said  he  unto  me,  i  he  north

behold,  the  glory  of  tlie  Lord  filled  the

6  And  I  heard  him  speaking:  unto  me

9  '  Now  let  them  put  aw^ay  their

13  Tliou  shalt  daily  prepare  a  burnt-

the  inheritance  thereof  shall  be  his  sons  ;

yehciakim^i   captivity.     8   Daniel,    Ha- 

nrini  :h,  Mish.:el,and  Azariuh,  refusing 

the  king^s  portion  do  prosper  with  puke 

and  Hiiiter. 

IN  the  a  thii'd  yeai-  of  the  reiqfn  of 
Jehoiakim  kinj' of  Judah  came  "^  Nebu- 
ciuidnezzar  king  of  Babylon  unto  '  Je- 
rusalem, and  b^iie^ed  it. 

2  And  rhe  Lord  ^  gave  Jehoiakim 
king  of  Judah  into  his  hand,  witli  ^  part 
of  the  ves'-els  of  the  ^  house  of  Gxl, 
which  he  carped  into  the  iand  of  Shi- 
nar,  to  the  houre  of  hi?  god;  a'^i  he 
brought  the  vessels  into  tiie  g  treasure- 
liouse  of  his  god. 

311  And  the  kiig  spake  unto  Ashpe- 
naz,  the  master  of  his  eunuchs,  that  he 
should  ^  bring  certain  of  the  children  of 
Israel,  and  of  the  '  king's  seed,  and  of 
the  princes  ; 

4  Children  in  whom  ijna  no  blemish, 
but  k  well-favDured,  and  '  skilfiil  in  all 
wisdom,  and  cunning  in  knowledge, 
and  understanding  science,  and  sucli  as 
had  ro  ability  in  them  "  to  stand  in  the 
king's  palace,  and  whom  they  might 
teach  the  °  learning  a.nd  tlie  tongue  of 
the  Chaldeans. 

5  And  the  king  appointed  them  a  p 
daily  provision  of  the  king's  meat,  and 
of  the  wine  which  he  drank;  so  nonr- 
isiiiiig  them  <i  three  years,  that  at  the 
end  thereof  they  might  stand  before  the 
king. 

6  Now  among  these  were  of  the  ' 
children  of  Judah,  Daniel,  Hananiah, 
Mishael,  and  Azariah  ; 

7  Unto  whom  the  prince  of  the  eu- 
nuchs 5  gave  names  ;  for  he  gave  unto 
Daniel  the  name  of  Belteshazzar  ;  and 
to  Hananiah,  of  Shadrach  ;  and  to  Mi- 
shael, of  Meshach  ;  and  to  Azariah,  of 
Abed-nego. 

8  %  But  Daniel  =  purposed  in  his  heart 
that  he  would  U)t  ^  defile  hiniself  with 
the  portion  of  the  king's  meat,  nor  with 
the  wine  which  he  drank  ;  therefore  he 
requested  of  the  prince  of  the  eunuchs 
that  he  might  .no!,  defile  himself. 


9  Now  God  had  brought  Daniel  "in- 
to favyir  and  tender  love  with  the  prince 
of  th^  eimuchs. 

10  .^nd  the  prince  of  the  eunuchs  y 
said  unto  Daniel,  z  I  fear  my  lord  the 
ki->g,  who  hu'.h  appointed  your  meat 
and  your  drii.k  :  f  t  why  should  he  see 
you.-  faces  w^rsr  liking  rhaa  the  chil- 
dren which  are  of ;,  oui-  s  )rt  ?  then  shall 
ye  make  iiie  ^  endanger  my  head  to  the 
kinsf. 

1 1  Then  °  sal d  Daniel  to  Melzar,  whom 
the  prince  of  the  eunuchs  had  set  over 
Daniel,  Hananiah,  Mishael,  and  Aza- 
riaii, 

12  Prove  thy  sen-ants,  I  beseech  thee, 
"  ten  days,  and  let  them  give  us  ^  pulse 
to  eat,  and  water  to  drink. 

13  Then  let  our  countenances  be  look- 
ed upon  before  thee  and  the  countenance 
of  the  children  that  eat  of  the  portion  of 
the  king's  meat ;  and  as  thou  seest  « 
deal  with  thy  servants. 

14  So  he  f  consented  to  them  in  this 
matter,  and  proved  them  ten  days. 

15  And  at  the  end  of  ten  days  their 
countenances  appeared  ?  fairer  and  fat- 
ter in  flesh  than  all  the  children  which 
did  eat  the  portion  of  the  king's  meat. 

16  Thus  Melzar  '■  took  away  the  por- 
tion of  their  meat,  and  the  wine  that 
they  should  drink,  and  gave  them  pulse. 

17  II  As  for  these  four  children,  i  God 
gave  them  knowledge  and  skill  in  all 
"  learning  and  wisdom  :  and  Daniel  had 
understanding  in  all '  visions  and  dreams. 

18  Now  at  the  '^  end  of  the  days  that 
the  king  had  said  he  should  bring"  them 
in,  then  the  prince  of  the  eunuchs 
brought  them  in  before  Nebuchadnez- 
zar. 

19  And  the  king  n  communed  with 
them  ;  and  among  them  all  was  found 
none  like  Daniel,  Hananiah,  Mishael, 
and  Azariah  ;  therefore  stood  they  be- 
fore the  king. 

20  And  in  all  matters  of  wisdom  and 
understanding,  that  the  king  enquired 
of  them,  he  found  them  f  ten  times  bet- 
ter than  all  the  magicians  and  astrolo- 
gers that  x.-:re  sa  s\i  ;ns  realm.

honoured,  and  his  friends  advanced. 

603.  AND  in  the  second    year  of  the 

reign  of  Nebuchadnezzar,   Nebucliad- 

nezzar  »  dreamed  dreams,  wherewith 

liis  ''  spirit  was  troubled,  and  his  sleep 

>:  brake  from  him. 

2  Then  the  king  commanded  <*  to 
call  =  the  magicians,  and  the  astrologers, 
and  the  f  sorcerers,  and  the  Clialdeans, 
for  8  to  shew  ihe  king  his  dreams.  So 
they  came  and  stood  before  the  king. 

3  And  the    king  said  unto  them,  I 
Jolfn '  ^*'  h^ve  dreamed  a  dream,  and  my  spirit 
11. 6.        was  troubled  '>  to  know  the  dream. 
h  Acts          4  Then  spake  the  Chaldeans  to  the 

king  in  Syriaclr,  O  king,  Uve  for  ever  : 
'  tell  thy  servants  the  dream,  and  ^  we 
will  shew  the  interpretation. 

5  The  king  answered  and  said  to  the 
Chaldeans,  The  thing  is  gone  from  me  : 
if  ye  will  not  make  known  unto  me  the 
dream,  vrith  the  interpretation  thereof, 
ye  shall  be  '  cut  in  pieces,  and  your 
houses  shall  be  made  a  dunghill : 

6  But  if  ye  shew  the  dream,  and  the 
interpretation  thereof,  ye  shall  receive 
of  me  '"  gifts,  and  rewards,  and  great 
honour  :  therefore  shew  me  the  dream, 
and  the  interpretation  thereof. 

7  They  «  answered  again,  and  said, 
Let  the  king  °  tell  his  servants  the 
dream,  and  we  will  shew  the  interpre- 
tation of  it. 

8  The  king  answered  and  said,  I  know 
of  certainty  that  ye  would  f  gain  the 
time,  p  because  ye  see  the  thing  is  gone 
from  me. 

y  But  if  ye  will  not  make  known  unto 
me  the  dream,  there  is  but  i  one  de-

tlie  king,  and  said.  There  is  not  a  man 
upon  the  earth  that  can  shew  the  king's 
matter  :  therefore  there  is  no  king,  lord, 
nor  ruler,  '  that  rocked  such  things  at 
any  magician,  or  astrologer,  or  Chal- 
de.an. 

11  And  it  is  a  rare  thing  that  the  king 
requirelh  ;  and  there  is  none  other  that 
can  shew  it  heCore  the  king  except  the 
gods,  whose  dwelling  "  is  not  with

12  For  this  cause  the  king  was  angry

4^1  Nebuchadnezzar  was  '■  at  rest 
in  mine  house,  and  '  flourishing  in  my

5  I  saw  a  dream  which  msde  rae 
afi-aM,  and  the  tlioughts  upon  my  bed 
and  the  visions  of  my  head  ^  troubled 
me. 

6  Therefore  made  I  '  a  decree  to  bring 
in  all  the  wise  wier.  of  Babylon  before 
me,  that  >"  tiiey  might  make  known 
unto  me  the  interpretation  of  thedre.-'.tn. 

7  Then  came  in  the  magicians,  the 
astrologers,  the  Chaldeans,  and  the 
S'lothsayers  :  and  I  told  the  dream  be- 
fore them  :  but  they  did  "  not  make 
known  unto  me  the  interpretation  thereof 

8  But  °  at  the  last  Daniel  came  in  be- 
fore me  (whose  name  icas  Belteshaz- 
zar,  according  to  the  P  name  of  my  gud, 
hihI  in  \A  hom  is  the  q  spirit  of  the  holy

saying,

gicians, because  I  know  that  the  spirit 
of  the  holy  Gods  is  '  in  thee,  and  no  se- 
cret troubleth  thee,  tell  me  the  visions 
of  my  dream  that  I  have  seen,  and  the 
interpretation  thereof. 

10  Thus  werf  the  visions  of  mine  head 
in  my  bed  :  I  saw,  and,  behold,  »  a  tree 
in  the  midst  of  tlie  earth,  and  the  height 
thereof  vas  '  great. 

11  The  tree  grew,  and  was  strong, 
and  the  height  thereof  "  reached  unto

The  king  spake  and  said,  Belteshazzar,  11.33.

m  ide  y  '.naster  of  the  mapiciaiis,  astn- 
l'>ger.s,  Chaldeans,  and  sootlisayers  : 

12  Forasmuch  as  ^an  excellent  spirir, 
and  (cno-»  ledge,  and  understanding,  in- 
terpreting of  dreams,  and  shewing  oi 
hsrd  sentences,  and  =«  dissolving  v*f 
doubis,  were  found  in  the  sttme  Daniel, 
whom  the  king  named  Beiteshazzai*: 
now  let  Daniel  be  called,  and  he  will 
shew  the  interpretation. 

13  Then  was  Daniel  brought  in  be- 
fore tiie  king.  And  the  king  spake  and 
said  unto  Daniel,  ^  Art  thou  that  Daniel, 
which  art  of  the  children  of  the  captivi 
ty  of  Jiidali,  whom  the  king  my  father 
brought  out  of  Jewry  ? 

14  I  have  even  'heard  of  thee,  that 
Uie  ti  spirit  of  the  gods  is  in  thee,  and 
that  light,  and  understanding,  and  ex- 
cellent wisdom,  is  found  in  thee. 

15  And  now  the  wise  men,  the  astro- 
logers, have  been  brought  in  before  me, 
e  that  they  should  read  this  writing,  and 
make  known  unto  me  th'i  interpretation 
thereof:  but  they  could  not  *'  shew  the 
interpretation  of  the  thing: 

16  And  I  have  heard  of  thee  that  thou 
canst  make  interpretations,  anddi.ss 'Iv-^ 
doubts :  now,  if  thou  canst  read  the 
writing,  and  make  known  to  me  the  in- 
terpretation thereof,  thou  sh.ilt  be  b 
clothed  with  scarlet,  and  have  a  chain 
of  gold  about  thy  neck,  and  shalt  be  the 
third  ruler  in  the  kingdom. 

17  HThen  Daniel  answered  and  said 
before  the  king.  Let  thy  h  gifts  be  to 
thyself,  and  give  thy  reward*  to  ano- 
ther; '  yet  I  will  read  the  writing  unto 
the  king,  and  make  known  to  Inm  the 
interpretation. 

18  •<  O  thou  king,  the  most  high  God 
'  gave  Nebuchadnezzar  thy  father  a 
kingdom,  and  majesty,  and  glory,  and 
honour : 

19  And,  for  the  majesty  that  he  gave 
him,  all  people,  nations,  and  languages, 
'"  trembled  and  feared  before  him  : 
whom  he  would  he  slew,  and  whom  he 
would  he  n  kept  alive,  and  whom  he 
would  he  set  up,  and  whom  he  would  he 
put  down. 

30  But  when  his  °  heart  was  lifted 
up,  and  his  mind  hardened  in  pride,  he 
was  P  deposed  from  his  kingly  throne, 
and  they  look  his  glory  from  him  : 

21  And  he  was  i  driven  from  the 
sons  of  men ;  and  his  heart  was  made 
like  the  beasts,  and  his  dwelling  iv,is 
with  the  wild  asses  :  they  fed  him  witli 
grass  like  oxen,  and  his  body  was  wet 
with  the  dew  of  heaven,  till  he  knew  that 
the  most  high  God  ruled  in  the  king- 
dom of  men,  and  thathe  appointeth  over 
it  whomsoever  he  will. 

22  And  thou  his  son,  O  Belshazzar, 
hast  r  not  humbled  thine  heart,  though 
thou  s  knewest  all  this  ; 

23  But  hast  'Wted  up  thyself  against 


the  Lord  of  heaven  ;  and  they  iiave  "    Before 
bi-ouglit  the  vessels  of  his  hon.se  before  ci^^s'ss^ 
thee,  and  thou  and  thy  lords,  th<  wives  ,    ."  -.^ 
and  thy  concubines,    have  rh'unk  wine  uRoju. 
in  them;  and  'bouiiast  praised  the  gods  2.22,

15  Then  these  men  assembled  unto

O  king,  that  the  i^  law  of  the  Medes  and

did  sit,  whose  garment  ivas  white  as 
snow,  and  the  hair  of  his  head  like  the 
pure  wool  :  his  throne  v^as  like  the  fiery 
flame,  ami  ^  his  wheels  as  burning  fire, 

10  ^  A  fiery  stream  issued  and  came 
forth  from  before  him  :  "^  thousand  thou- 
sands ministered  unto  him,  and  ten  thou- 
sand times  ten  thousand  stood  before 
him  :  the  judgment  was  set,  and  the  '' 
books  were  opened. 

Ill  beheld  then,  because  of  the  voice 
of  the  great  words  which  the  horn 
spake  ;  I  beheld,  even  till  the  beast  was 
slain,  and  his  body  destroyed,  and  given 
<2Thess.  ^Q  ^jjg  e  burning  flame. 

12  As  concerning  the  ^  rest  ot"  the 
beasts,  they  had  their  6  dominion  taken 
away  :  yet  their  lives  were  ''  prolonged 
for  a  season  and  time. 

13  I  saw  in  the  night  visions,  and, 
behold,  one  like  the  '  Son  of  man  came 
with  the  clouds  of  heaven,  and  came  to 
the  Ancient  of  days,  ''and  they  brought 
him  nsar  before  him. 

14  And  there  was  given  him  '  domi- 
nion, and  glory,  and  a  kingdom,  that  all 
people,  nations,  and  languages,  should 
serve  him  :  his  dominion  is  an  everlast- 
ing dominion,  which  shall  not  pass  a- 
wa)',  and  his  kingdom  that  which  shall 
not  be  destroyed. 

15  ^  I  Daniel  was  grieved  in  my  spi- 
rit in  the  midst  of  my  body,  and  the 
visions  of  my  head  troubled  me. 

16  I  1"  came  near  unto  one  of  them 
that  stood  by,  and  »  asked  him  the  truth 
of  all  this.  So  he  told  me,  and  »  made 
me    know    the    interpretation    of   the 

«ev.i.  I.  things. 

2.  ssf'         IT'  These  gi-eat  beasts,  which  are  four, 

q  1  Cor.    are  four  p  kings,  which  shall  i  arise  out 

J^^-JJ^'-is^  of  the  earth. 

2.27.^and      18  But  the  saints  of  the  most  High 

3-  21.       shall  take  the  ki!i2"'^^l-nn>  ^^^  '  possess 


the  kingdom  for  ever,  even  for  ever  and   Before 

cir.  555, 

19  Then  I  would  know  '  the  truth  of  v^^,^xJ 
the   fourth   beast,   whicii    was   divers"  j  Phil, 
from  all  the  others,  exceeding  dreadful,  |:  ^''- 
whose  teeth  were  of  iron,  and  his  nails 
(2/'brass  ;  which  devoured,  brr.ke  in  pie- 
ces, and  stamped  the  residue  with  his 

feet  : 

20  And  of  the  ten  horns  that  ii-ere  in 
his  head,  and  ffihe^  other  which  came 
UD,  and  before  whom  three  fell  ;  even 
o/"'hat  horn  that  had  eyes,  and  a  mouth 

that  spake  very  great  things,  'whose 'chap, 

look  rjas  more  stout  than  his  fellows.      i'i.^37^'' 

211  beheld,  and  the  same  horn  "  mad.   u  Exod. 

war  with  the  saints,   and  prevailed  a-  U-  ^■ 

.  ^,  '  Rev.  13. 

gainst  them  ;  7.  andig. 

22  Until  the  Ancient  of  days  came,  it,  is. 
and  "  jadgment  was  given  to  the  saint?  ^J^^^' 
of  the  most  High  ;  and  y  tlie  time  came  i  cor." 
tliat  the  saints  possessed  the  kingdom.    6. 2,  3. 

23  Thus  he  said.  The  fourth  beast  Ij^^ 
shall   be   the    ^  fourth   kingdom   upo.-^  zchap. 
earth,  which  shall  be  diverse  from  ^''f'  k°'2t 
kingdoms,  and  shall  => 'devour  the  whole  ^  chap." 
e^irth,    and   shall    tread   it  down,   and  12.7. 
break  it  in  pieces.  24^26 

24  And  the   ten  horns  out  of  this 
kingdom  are  ^  ten  kings  that  shall  arise  :  *  ^s-  2-  '* 
and  another  shall  rise  after  them  ;  and  g  tTs.   " 
he  shall  be  diverse  from  the  first,  and 

he  shall  subdue  three  kings. 

25  And  he  shall  speak  great  words  '  i^f'^' 
against  the  most  High,  and  shall  wear 

out  the  saints  of  the  most  High,  and 
think  to  <"'  change  times  and  laws  :  and  diTim, 
they  shall  be  given  into  his  hand,  ^  until  '*aev 
a  time  and  times  and  the  dividing  of  1. 14. 
time. 

26  But  the  judgment  shall  sit,  and 

they  shall  ^  take  away  his  dominion,  to  f'^^y-  ts. 
consume  and  to  destroy  it  unto  the  end.  ^  3/ 

27  And  the  kingdom  and  dominion, 
and  the  greatness  of  the  kingdom  un- 
der the  whole  heaven,  shall  be  ?  given  » Luke 
to  the  people  of  the  saints  of  the  most  ^^-  ^^• 
High,  whose  kingdom  is  an  everlasting' 
kingdom,  and  all  dominions  shall  serve 

and  obey  him. 

28  Hitherto  is  the  end  of  the  matter. 
As  forme  Daniel,  my  cogitations  much 
troubled   me,   and   my  h  countenance  h  ver.  1  j, 
changed  in  me  :  but  1  kept  the  matter  i^'i'"'

The  days  of  sacrifice,  &.C. 

Before    river  f  a  ram  which  had  e  tvM  horns, 
cir.  553.  *"'^1  ^^^^  ^''"o  horns  inere  high  ;  but  one 

ivas  higber  than  the    other,   and  the 

niglier  came  up  last. 

4  I  saw  tlie  ram  pushing  ^  westward, 
and  northward,  and  soiithv\  ard  ;  so  that 
no  '  bensts  might  stand  before  him,  nei- 
ther I'oas  there  any  that  could  deliver 
out  of  his  hand  ;  but  he  did  ^  according 
to  his  will,  and  became  g"eat. 

5  And  as  I  was  considering,  behold, 
an  1  he-goat  came  from  the  west,  on  the 
face  of  the  whole  earHi,  and  touched 
™  not  the  ground  ;  and  tlie  goat  had  "  a 
notable  horn  between  his  e}es. 

6  And  he  came  to  the  ram  that  had 
two  iiorns,  which  1  had  seen  standing 
h(thvt  the  river,  and  °  ran  unto  him  in 
the  fury  of  his  power. 

7  And  I  saw  him  come  close  unto  the 
r.am,  and  lie  was  P  moved  with  choler 
against  him,  and  smoie  the  ram,  and 
braiie  his  two  horns  ;  and  there  was  q 
no  power  in  the  ram  to  stand  before  him, 
but  he  r  cast  him  down  to  tlie  ground, 
and  stamped  'ipon  him  :  and  there  was 
none  that  could  deliver  the  ram  out  of 
his  iiaiid. 

8  Therefore  the  he-goat  waxed  very 
gi-eat ;  and  when  he  was  «  strong  the 
grc  at  ln)rn  was  broken  ;  and  for  it  came 
up  t  four  notable  ones,  toward  the  four 
winds  of  heaven. 

9  And  out  of  one  of  them  came  forth 
u  a  little  horn,  winch  waxed  exceeding 

7. 5.  and   great  tovvard  tlie  south,  and  to\>'ard  the 
x^plaim   S'^st,  and  toward  the  "  pleasant  land. 

10  And  it  waxed  great,  even  to  the 
y  host  of  heaven  ;  and  it  cast  down  some 
of  the  liost  ar.d  of  the  ^  stars  to  the 
ground,  and  stamped  upon  them. 

11  Yea,  he  magnified  hhnself'even  to 
the  ^  prince  of  the  host,  and  by  him 
the  daily  5rtcr//?ce  was  taken  away,  ^  and 
the  place  of  his  sanctuary  was  c.isl  down. 

12  And  an  host  was  given  hiin  against 
the  daily  sacrifice  by  reason  of  trans- 
gression,  and  it  cast  down  nhe  truth  to 
tl>e  ground ;  and  it  practised,  and  ^ 
prospered. 

13  H  Then  1  heard  ■=  one  saint  speak- 
ing, and  another  saint  said  unto  f  that 

falmoni,  certain  saint  which  spake.   How   long 

t'lifui"'   ^hall  be  the  vision  concerning  the  daily 

sacrifice,  and  I  he  transgression  of  des'la- 

lion,  tt.  give  both  tlie  sanctuary  and  the 

host  to  be  trodden  underfoot  ] 

14  And  he  said  UJito  me,  Unto  f  two 
thousand  and  three  liundied  days  ;  then 
shall  the  sanctuary  be  g  cleansed. 

15  11  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  1,  even 
I  Daniel,  had  seen  the  vision,  h  and 
s -nght  for  the  meaning,  tlien,  behold, 

li  1  Peter  there  stood  before  me  as  the  appearance 
*  °'        of  a  man. 

16  And  I  heard  a  man's  voice  be- 
tween the  banks  of  U'.ai,  which  called, 
and  said,  '  Gabri>.d,  ''  make  this  man  to 
understand  the  vision. 

17  So  he  came  near  where  1  stood ;

DANIEL.  Daniel  maketh  confession  ofsin.% 

and  when  he  came  I  was  afraid,  and  ^^J^.^ 
fell  upon  my  face  :  but  he  said  unto  mt^,  cir.  553^ 
Understand,  O  son  of  man  ;  for  at  the  '\,^^\rsj 
time  of  the  end  shall  be  the  vision. 

18  Now,  as  he  was  speaking  with  me, 
I  was  in  a  deep  sleep  on  my  face  to- 
ward the  ground  :  but  he  '  touched  me,  I  John 
and  ™  set  me  upright. .  ]^-^^^^ 

19  And  he  said,  Behold,  I  will  make  2. 1.

shall  stand  up  out  of  the  nation,  but  ««  Mat.

23  And  in  the  latter  time  of  their

come  to  the  full,  '  a  kin:,  of  fierce  coun-  'J^??^-

24  And  his  =<  power  shall  be  mighty,  *'j"'

he  shall  al-o  stand  up  against  the  Prince

27  And  I  Daniel  f  fidnted,  and  was  /chap, 
sick  certain  days  :    afterward  I  rose  up,  ^'chap.

God,  keeping' the  covenant  and  f  mercy 
to  them  that  love  him,  smdto  t'nem  that 
keep  his  commandments ; 

5  We  have  g  sinned,  and  have  com- 
mitted i'liquity,  a'ld  have  done  wicked- 
ly, and  have  rebelled,  even  by  departing 
from  thy  precepts,  and  from  thy  judg- 
ments : 

6  Neither  have  we  ^  hearkened  unto 
thy  servants  the  prophets,  which  spake 
in  thy  name  to  our  kings,  our  princes, 
and  onr  fathers,  and  to  all  the  people 
of  the  land. 

7  O  Lord,  righteousness  belongeth  ■ 
unto  thee  ;  but  unto  us  '^  confusion  of 
faces,  as  at  tliis  day  :  to  the  men  of  Ju- 
dah,  and  to  the  inhabitants  of  Jerusa- 
lem, and  unto  all  Israel,  that  are  '  near, 
and  that  are  far  off,  through  all  the 
countries  whither  thou  hast  driven  them 
because  of  ihelrlrespsss  that  they  have 
trespassed  against  thee. 

8  O  Lord,' '"  to  us  belongeth  confusion 
efface,  to  our  kings,  to  our  princes,  and 
to  our  fathers,  because  we  have  sinned 
against  thee. 

9  To  the  Lord  our  God  "  belong  mer- 
cies and  forgivenesses,  °  though  we 
have  rebelled  against  him  : 

10  Neither  have  we  obeyed  p  the 
voice  of  the  Lord  our  God,  to  walk  in 
his  law  s,  which  he  set  before  us  by  his 
servants  the  prophets. 

11  Yea,  '!  all  Israel  have  transgressed 
thy  law,  even  by  departing,  that  they 
miglit  not  obey  thy  voice ;  therefore 
the  f  curse  is  poured  upon  us,  and  the 
oath  tiiat  is  written  in  the  law  of  Moses 
the  servant  of  God,  because  we  have 
sinned  against  him. 

12  Anci  he  hath  «  confirmed  his  words, 
which  he  spake  against  us,  and  against 
our  judges  that  judged  us,  by  bringing 
upon  us  a  great  evil :  ^  for  under  the 
whole  heaven  hath  not  been  done  as 
hath  been  done  "  upon  Jerusalem. 

13  As  it  is  ^  written  in  the  law  of 
Moses,  all  this  evil  is  come  upon  us  :  y 
jet  made  we  not  our  prayer  before  the 
Lord  ourGodtiiat  we  rnigh*  turn  from 
our  iniquities,  and  understand  thy  truth. 

14  Therefore  hath  the  Lord  ^  watch- 
ed upon  the  evil,  and  brought  it  upon 
us  :  for  tlie  Lord  our  God  is  righteous 
in  all  his  works  vvliich  he  doeth  :  for  we 
obeyed  not  ^  his  voice. 

15  And  now,  O  Lord  our  God,  that 
b  hasf  brought  thy  people  forth  out  of 
the  land  of  Egypt  with  a  mighty  hand, 
and  hast  g'.tten  tliee  '^renown,  as  at  this 
day  ;  we  have  sinned,  we  have  done 
wickedly. 

16  ^  O  Lord,  according  to  all  <i  thy 
rightoMsness,  I  beseech  thee,  let  thine 
anger  and  Uiy  fur)-  be  turned  away  from 
thy  city  Jerusalem,  thy  holy  mountain  : 
because  for  our  sins,  and  for  the  iniqui- 
ties of  our  fathers,  =  Jerusalem  and  thy 
people  are  becoiijfi  a  reproacli  to  all  that 
are  about  us. 


I      17  Now,  therefore,  O  our  *  God,  hear   Before 
I  the  prayer  of  tny  servant,  ai.d  his  sup-  "^""s^.^y

CHAP.  X. 

1  Daniel,  having  hmnhled  himself,  seeth 
a  glorious  vision  :  10  being  troubled,  he 
is  comforted  by  the  angel. 

IN  the  third  year  of  Cyrus  king-  of 
Persia  »  a  thing  was  revealed  unto 
Daniel,  whose  name  was  called  Bclte- 
shazzar  ;  and  the  thing  was  true,  but 
i  Isaiah  the  time  appointed  ii-as  ^  long  :  and  he 
'  understood  the  thing,  and  had  under- 
staa:Iing  of  the  vision. 

2  In  those  days  I  Daniel  was  ''  mourn- 
ing three  full  weeks. 

3  I  iite  no  <■  pleasant  bread,  neither 
came  flesh  nor  wine  in  my  mmit!),  nei- 
ther did  I  anoint  myself  at  all,  'lill-three 
wliole  weeks  were  fulfilled. 

4  And  in  the  lour  and  twentieth  day 
of  the  g  first  month,  as  I  was  by  the 
side  of  the  great  river,  which  is  ^  Hid- 
dekel ; 

5  Then  I  lifted  up  mine  eyes,  tnd 
looked,  and,  behold,  '  a  certain  man 
•<  clothed  in  linen,  whose  loins  v:ere 
girded  with  fine  gold  of  Uphaz  : 

6  His  body  also  was  like  the  beryl, 
.Vs.'and  and    his   '  face  as  the   appearance    of

and  ius  arms  and  his  feet  like  in  colour 
to  polished  brass,  and  tlie  voice  of  his 
words  like  the  voice  of  a  multitude. 

7  And  I  Daniel  "•  alone  saw  the  visi- 
on :  for  the  men  that  were  v.ith  me 
saw  not  the  vision  ;  but  a  great  qu:iking 
fell  upon  them,  so  that  they  »  fled  to 
hide  themselves. 

8  Therefore  I  was  left  alone,  and  saw 
this  great  vision,  and  there  remained 

0  no  strength  in  me  :  for  m)'  comeliness 
was  turned  in   me  into  corruption,  and 

1  re'iained  no  strength. 

9  P  Yet  heard  I  the  voice  of  his  words : 
and  when  I  heard  the  voice  of  his  words 
then  was  I  in  a  deep  sleep  on  my  face, 
and  my  face  q  toward  the  grnuncl. 

10  ^  And,  behold,  an  hand  '  touched 
if.e  V  hich  bcL  rie  upon  my  knees  and 
upon  the  palms  of  my  hands  : 

11  And  he  said  unto  me,  O  Daniel, 
s  a  man  greatly  beloved,  understand 
the  words  that  I  speak  unt<.'  thee,  and 
'  stand  upright :  for  unto  thee  am  I  now 
sent.  And,  wlun  he  had  spoken  tl/is 
word  unto  me,  1  stood  trembling. 

12  Then  said  he  unto  me,  »  Fear  not, 
Daniel ;  for  "  from  the  first  dyy  that 
thou  dinst  set  thine  heart  to  inulci'- 
stand,  and  to  chasten  thyself  before  tli\ 
God,  thy  words  were  heard,  and  I  am 
come  for  thy  w  ords.

words  unto  me,  I  set  my  face  toward  5  Hosea

16  And,  behold,  one  hke  the  simih- 
tude  of  the  sons  of  men  '  touched  my  c  Psalm

CHAP.  V. 

Goifs  judgments  against  the  priests,  the 
people,  iind  the  princes  of  Israel,  for 
their  manifold  sins,  &c. 

HEAR  ye  this,  »  O  priests  ;  and 
hearken,  ye  house  of  Israel  ;  and  pfive 
ye  ear,  O  house  of  the  king  ;  for  judg- 
ment is  toward  you,  because  ye  have 
been  ^  a  snare  on  Mizpah,  and  a  net 
spread  upon  Tabnr, 

2  And  the  revoitsrs  are  «  profouKd  to 
make  slaughter,  though  I  have  been  ^  a 
rebuker  of  them  all. 

3  J  know  Ephraim,  and  Israel  is  "  not 
hid  from  me  :  for  now,  O  Ephraim,  thou 
committest  ^  whoredom,  and  Israel  is 
defiled. 

4  They  will  g  not  frame  their  doings 
to  turn  unto  their  God  :  for  the  spirit  of 
whoredoms  i.i  in  the  midst  of  them,  and 
they  have  not  known  the  Lord. 

5  And  the  pride  of  Israel  doth  i'  tes- 
tify to  his  face  :  therefore  shall  Israel 
and  Ephraim  fall  in  their  iniquity  :  Ju- 
dah  also  shall  fall  with  them. 

6  Tiiey  shall  go  with  their  fiocks  and 
with  their  herds  to  seek  the  Lord  ;  but 
they  shall  ■  not  find  him  :  he  hath  with- 
drawn himself  from  them. 

7  Tliey  have  dealt  treacherously 
against  the  Lord  ;  for  they  have  begot- 
ten k  strange  children  :  now  shall  i  a 
month  devour  them  with  tlieir  portions. 

8  ni  Blow  ye  the  cornet  in  Gibeah, 
and  the  trumpet  in  Ramaii  :  cry  aloud 
at  n  Beth-aven,  after  thee,  O  Benjamin- 

9  Ephraim  shall  be  desolate  in  tlie  ° 
dsy  of  rebuke  :  among  (he  tribes  of 
Israel  have  I  made  known  that  which 
shall  p  surely  be. 

10  The  ])rinces  of  Jidaliwcre  like 
them  that  remove  the  n  bound :  there- 
fore I  will  pour  out  my  wrath  upon  Ihcm 
like  water.  < 


{  11  Ephraim  /^  oppressed  c/«/ broken 
in  judgment,  because  he  willingly  v»alk- 
ed  after  the  '  otimmandment. 

12  Tlierefore  i:-ill  1  be  unto  Ephraim 
as  «  a  moth,  and  to  tJie  house  of  Judah 
as  rottenness. 

13  When  Ephraim  saw  his  sickness. 
and  Judah  sarj  his  '  wound,  then  went 
Ej)hraim  to  the  "  Assyrian,  and  sent  to 
king  Jarcb  :  yet  could  he  not  heal  you, 
nor  cure  you  of  your  wound. 

14  For  I  ii'ill  be  unto  Epbi'aim  as  ^  u 
lion,  and  as  a  young  lion  to  the  house  oi' 
Judah  :  I,  even  I,  will  tear  and  go  away; 
I  w  ill  take  away,  and  none  shall  rescue 
him. 

15^1  will  go  and  return  to  my  place 
till  they  y  acknowdedge  their  oflfenc*-, 
and  seek  my  face  :  in  their  affliction 
they  will  ^  seek  me  early. 

CHAP.  VI. 

1  At>  exhortation  to  repentance.  4  A  coin- 
pi  flint  against  Israel  and  Judah. 
Come,  and  a  let  us  return  unto 
the  Lord  :  for  he  hath  torn,  and  he 
will  heal  us ;  he  hath  smitten,  and  he  will 
bind  us  up. 

2  ''  After  two  days  w  ill  he  revive  us ; 
in  the  third  day  he  will  raise  us  up,  and 
we  shall  '^live  in  his  sight. 

3  Then  shall  we  know,  //"we  ''  follow 
on  to  know  the  Lord  :  his  =  going  forth 
is  prepared  as  the  morning ;  and  he  shall 
come  unto  us  as  the  rain,  as  the  latter 
a?;f/ former  rain  unto  the  earth. 

4  1!  O  Ephraim,  f  what  shall  I  do  unto 
thee  ?  O  Judah,  what  shall  1  do  unto 
thee  !  for  your  goodness  is  as  g  a  morn- 
ing cloud,  and  as  the  early  dew  itgoetli 
away. 

5  Therefore  iiave  I  ''  hewed  them  by 
the  propliets  ;  1  have  slain  them  by  the 
words  of  'my  inoutli  ;  and  thy  judg- 
ments arc  as  the  light  that  goeth  forth. 

6  For  I  desired  mercy,  and  ■  not  sa- 
crifice ;  and  the  ^  knowledge  of  God 
more  than  burnt-offerings. 

7  But  they,  like  men,  have  '  trans- 
gressed the  covenant;  "■  thel'e  have 
they  dealt  treacherously  against  me. 

8  Gilead  is  "  a  city  of  them  that  work 
iniquity,  and  is  polluted  with  blood. 

9  And  as  troops  of  robbers  wait  for 
a  man,  so  the  °  company  of  priests  mur- 
der in  the  way  by  consent  :  for  they 
commit  lewdness. 

10  I  have  seen  p  an  horrible  thing  in 
the  house  of  Israel :  there  is  the  whore- 
dom of  Ephraim,  Israel  is  defiled. 

11  Also,  O  Judah,  he  hath  set  i  an 
harvest  for  thee,  when  I  ^  returned  the 
captivity  of  my  people. 

CHAP.  VII.

beset  them  about ;  they  are  ''  before  my

3  They  make  the  king-  glad  with  tlieir 
wickedness,  and  tlie  princes  with  tlieir

5  In  the  ''  tliy  of  our  king  the  princes 
have  made  him  sick,  with  '  bottles  of 
wine  :  he  stretched  out  his  iiand  witii 
scorners. 

6  For  they  have  ^  made  ready  their 
heart  like  an  oven  whiles  they  '  lie  in

in  the  morning  it  burneth  as  a  flaming

7  They  are  all  "^  hot  as  an  oven,  and

9  SMangers  have  i  devoured  his 
strength,  and  he  knoweth  it  not ;  yea, 
gray  hairs  are  here  and  there  upon  him, 
yet  he  '  knoweUi  not. 

10  And  the  s  pride  of  Israel  testifieth

the  Lord  their  God,  nor  seek  him  '  for 
all  this. 

1 1  Tf  Ephraim  also  is  like  »  a  silly  dove

12  When  they  shall  go,  I  will  sprearl

13  Woe  unto  them !  for  they  have

because  they  have  transgressed  against

5  ^  The  [/ride  of  thine  heart  hath  ^ 
deceived  thee,  thou  that  dwellest  in  the

Tivshish  :  4  he  is  thrown  into  the  sea, 
17  and  siuallowcd  by  ajish. 

NOW,  the  word  of  the  Lord 
came  ^  unto  Jonah,  the  son  of  Ammit- 
tai,  saying-, 

2  Arise,  g-o  to  Nineveh,  ''  that  great 
city,  and  cry  against  it ;  for  their  wick- 
edness is  come  up  <=  before  me. 

3  But  Jonah  rose  up  '^  to  flee  unto 
Tarslvish  =  from  the  presence  of  the 
Lord,  and  went  down  to  Joppa  ;  and 
lie  found  a  ship  going  to  Tarshish  :  so 
he  paid  tlie  fare  thereof,  and  went  down 
into  it,  to  go  w  ith  them  unto  Tarshish 
from  the  presence  of  the  Lord. 

4^  But  the  Lord  f  sent  out  a  gre.at 
wind  into  the  sea,  and  there  was  a  niigli- 
ty  tempest  in  tlie  sea,  so  that  the  ship 
was  like  to  be  broken. 

5  Then  the  mariners  were  afraid,  and 
cried  every  man  g  unto  his  god  ;  and  '' 
cast  foith  the  wares  that<:i'cre  in  the  ship 
into  the  sea,  to  lighten  it  of  them  :  but 
Jonah  wss  gone  down  into  the  sides  of 
the  ship  ;  and  he  lay,  and  was  '  fast  a- 
bleep. 

6  So  the  shipmaster  came  to  hiin,  and 
said  unto  liim,  •<  What  meanest  tiiou, 
O  .sleeper  ?  arise,  '  c:dl  upon  thy  God, 
if  so  be  that  God  will  tliink  upon  us, 
that  veptridi  ni't. 

7  And  they  said  every  one  to  his  fel- 
low, CoDie,  and  lei  us  '"  cast  lots,  that 
we  may  know  for  wlio.se  cause  t'lis  e%il 
is  upon  us.  So  they  cast  lots,  and  the 
•i-c  rt  te',1  upon  Jonah. 

8 Then  s''id  they  untobini,  "Tell  us, 
we  pray  thcej  for  wliose  cause  this  evil 


is  upon  us.    What  is  r  thine  occupation  ?    Before 
and  whence  comcst  thou  ?   what  is  thy  CHRIST 
country?     and    of     what    people     ^''f  \^/->^ 
thou  ?  p  Eph. 

9  And  he  said  unto  them,  I  <i  atn  an  4.  28.

if  hea\en,  which  hath    made  the  sea  rActs' 
and  the  dry  land.  27.  23. 

10  Then  were  the  men  exceedingly  ^  j  Peter 
s  afraid,  and  said  unto  him.  Why  hast  4. 17. 

c  thou  done  this!    (for  tlie    men  knew  jj^l"* 
tliat  he  fled  from  the  presence  of  the 
Lord,  because   he  told  them.) 

1 1  II  Then  said  they  unto  him,  »  What  u  i  Sam. 
sh.all  we  do  unto  thee,  that  the  sea  may  6. 2. 

be  calm  unto  us  '.  (for  the  sea  wrought,  li.u'.' 
and  was  tempestuous.) 

12  And  he  said  unfo  them,  "  Take  xJohn 
me  up,  and  cast  me  forth  into  the  sea:  ii- S"- 
so  shall  the  sea  be  calm  unto  you  :  for 

1   know  that  y  for  my  sake  this  great  y  Eccl. 
tempest  is  upon  you.  ^J^" 

13  Nevertheless   the  men    ^  rowed  27. 24.

2  And  said,  I  cried  by  reason  of  mine 
affliction  unto  the  Lord,  and  he  ^  heard 
me  ;  out  of  the  belly  of  hell  cried  I,  and 
thou  heardest  my  voice. 

3  For  thou  liadst  cast  ^  me  into  tlie 
deep  in  the  midst  of  ihe  seas  ;  and  the 
floods  J  compassed  me  about :  all  thy 
billovvs  and  ihy  waves  passed  over  me.

sight.  ;  yet  I  will  'look  again  toward  thy 
holy  temple. 

5  The  g  waters  compassed  me  about 
even  to  the  soul ;  the  depth  closed  me 
round  about,  the  weeds  were  wrapped 
ab  )Ut  my  head. 

6  I  \\ent  dov.n  to  the  bottoms  of  the 
mountains;  the  earih  with  her  bars  inas 
about  me  for  ever  ;  '■  yet  hast  thou 
broiight  up  my  life  from  corruption,  O 
Lord  my  God. 

7  When  my  soul  fainted  wiihin  me  ' 
I  remembered  the  Lord  ;  and  my  pray- 
er came  in  unto  thee,  into  thine  holy 
temple. 

8  They  that  observe  lying  vanities  ^ 
forsiike  their  own  mercy.

I      BUT  it  =  displeased  Jonali  exceeding- 

'  ly,  a;.d  he  was  very  angry. 

j  2  And  he  ^  pra\ed  unto  the  Lord. 
and  said,  I  pray  thee,  O  Lord,  faas  no' 
tins  my  saying  when  I  was  yet  in  ir^ 
cowntrv  ?  '^  the.efore  I  fled  befu*e  unto 
Tarshish  :  for  I  knew  that  thou  art  a  g-ra- 
cious  God,  and  merciful,  slow  to  anger, 
and  of  great  kindness,  and  repente&t  thee 
of  the  evil.

beseech  thee,  m\  lite  fr')m  me  :  for  it  is

4  fl  Then  said  the  Lord,  'D  jest  thou

5  So  J  nah  i  went  out  of  the  city,  anr' 
sat  on  the  east  side  of  the  city,  and  tliert 
''  made  him  a  booth,  and  sat  under  it  v: 
the  shadow,  till  he  might  see  what  would 
become  of  the  city. 

6  And  thi  Lord  God  ■  prepared  a 
gourd,  and  made  it  to  come  up  over  Jo- 
nah, that  it  might  be  a  shadow  ^  ver  his 
head,  to  deliver  him  from  his  ^  grieK   So 

i  J  I'lali  was  '  exceeding  glad  of  the 
gourd. 

7  But  God  prepared  a  worm,  when  the 
mo:ning  rose  the  next  day,  and  it  >" 
smote  the  gmrd  that  it  withered. 

8  And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  "  sun 
•  lid  arise,  that  God  prepared  a  vehemeni 
east  wind ;  and  the  sun  beat  upon  t;u' 
head  "f  Jonah  that  he  fainted,  and  « 
ui;,tied  in  himself  to  die,  and  said,  Jt  is 
better  fir  me  to  die  than  to  live. 

9  And  God  said  to  Jonah,  p  n.iesl 
thou  well  to  be  angry  f  jr  the  gourd  ?  And 
he  said,  1 1  do  well  to  be  angry,  e'cen  un- 
to dea  h. 

10  Then  said  the  Lord,  Thou  hast '

1  Micah  she=ueth  the  wrath  of  God  a- 
gainst  Israel  and  yndah  for  idolatry  : 
lO  he  exhorttth  to  mavrning. 

THE  word  of  the  Lord  that  came 
to  »  Micah  the  b  Morasthite,  in  the  days 
of  Jotham,  Ahaz,  an^  Hezekiah,  kings 
of  Judah,  which  he  saw  concerning  Sa- 
mnria  and  Jerusalem. 

2  If  Hear,  ^  all  ye  people :   hearken, 

0  earth,  and  all  that  therein  is  ;  and  let 
the  Lord  God  ^  be  witness  ag-ainst  you, 
the  Lord  from  his  holy  temple. 

3  For,  behold,  the  Lord  «  cometh 
forth  out  of  his  place,  and  wiU  come 
down,  and  » tread  upon  the  high  places 
of  the  earth. 

4  And  the  ?  mountains  shall  be  molten 
under  him,  and  the  valleys  sliall  be  cleft, 
as  wax  before  the  fire,  and  as  the  w;iter6 
that  are  poured  down  a  steep  place. 

5  For  the  trant^gression  of  Jacob  is  all 
this,  and  for  the  sins  of  the  house  of  Is- 
rael. I'  What  is  the  Ir.insgression  of  Ja- 
cob ?  is  it  not  ■  Samwriu  ?  and  what  are 
the  high  places  of  Judah  .'  are  they  not  '< 
Jerusalem? 

6  Therefore  I  will  make  Samaria  as  ' 
an  heap  of  the  field,  and  as  plantings  of 
a  vineyard;  and  I  will  pour  down  the 
stones  thereof  into  the  valley,  and  I  will 
'"''  discover  the  foundations  iheieof 

7  And  all  the  "  graven  images  there- 
of shall  be  beaten  to  pieces,  and  all  the 
hires  thereof  shall  be  burnt  wiih  the  lire, 
and  all  the  idols  thereof  will  I  lay  deso- 
late :  for  she  o  gathered  it  of  the  hire  of 
an  harlot,  andthey  shall  return  to  the 
hire  of  an  harlot. 

8  Therefore  1  will  p  wall  and  howl, 

1  w  ill  go  stripped  and  naked :  I  will  make 
a  wailing  like  the  dragons,  and  mourn- 
ing as  the  ort'ls. 

9  For  her  wound  is  incvu-able  :  for  q 
it  is  come  unto  Judah  ;  he  is  come  unto 
the  gate  of  my  people,  cvta  to  Jerusa- 
lem. 

10  ^ '  Declare  ye  it  not  at  Gath,  wrcp 
ye  not  at  all :  in  the  house  of  Aphruh  s 
roll  thyself  in  the  dust. 

11  'Pass  ye  away,  thou  inhabitant  of 
Sapiiir,  having  <»  thy  shame  naked  ;  the 
iniiahitant  of  Zianan  came  not  fonh  in 
the  mourning  of  Belh-ezel ;  he  shall  ro- 
ccii-e  of  you  liis  standing. 

13  For  the  inhabit-jiil  of  Maroth  wait- 
ed carefully  ibr  g'tod  j  but  evil  came 
down  X  fiom  the  Lord  unto  the  gate  of 
Jerusalem. 

13  O  thou  inhabitantof  Lachish,  bind 
the  chariot  to  the  swii\  bea'^i  •  she  fvUic 


^  beginning  of  tiie  sin  to  the  daughter  of 
Zion  ;  for  the  transgressions  of  Israel 
Wire  f'  und  in  tiice. 

14  Therefore  shall  thou  ■>  g-ive   pre- 
sents to  Moresheth-ga'.h:  the  houses  oi' 
Aclizib  shall  be  '°  a  he  lo  the  kings  of  lb 
rack 

15  Yet  will  I  bring  '-"  an  heir  unto  tliee, 

0  inhabitant  of  Mareshah  :  he  sha^! 
come  unto  Adullam  the  glory  of  Israel 

16  '<  Make  thee  bald,  and  poll  thee  fin 
thy  '^  delicate  children  ;  eiilarge  thy  bald- 
ness as  the  eagle ;  for  they  are  gone  \\\o 
captivity  from  thee.

WOE  ta  tliem  that  » devise  iniqui-

the  morning  is  ligiit  they  practise  it,  be-

them  away  :  so  they  oppress  a  man  and 
his  house,  even  a  man  and  his  heri-

3  Therefore  i bus  saith  the  Lord,  Be- 
hold, against  tliis  family  ilo  I  ''  devise 
an  evil,  from  which  ye  shall '-  not  remove 
your  necks  ;  neither  shall  ye  go  hiiug-h-

tion of  my  people  :  how  hath  he  remov- 
ed it  from  me !  turning  away  lie  hath  di- 
vided our  fields. 

5  Therefore  thou  shalt  have  none  that 
shall  cast  a  cord  by  lot  in  the  congrega- 
tion of  the  Lord.

as  the  sheep  nf  «  Bozrah,  as  the  flock  in

CHAP.  m. 

1  The  cruelty  of  the  princes.  5  The  false- 
hood of  the  prophets,  &c. 
710.  AND  I  said.  Hear,  I  pray  you,  O 

heads  oi  Jacob,  and  ye  princes  of  the 
house  of  Israel ;  Is  it  not  *  for  you  to 
know  judgment  ? 

2  Wn  •  ^  liale  the  good,  and  love  the 
evil,  who  '^  pluck  off  their  skin  from  ofi' 
them,  and  theirflesh  from  off  their  bones; 

3  W^  o  also  <!  eat  the  flesli  of  my  peo- 
ple, and  flay  their  skin  froni  off  them  ; 
and  they  break  their  bones,  and  chop 
tliem  in  pieces  as  for  the  pot,  and  as 
flesh  within  tlie  caldron. 

4  Then  shall  ihey  <=  cryuntothe  Lord, 
iiut  he  will  not  hear  them  ;  he  will  even 
hide  his  face  from  them  at  that  time,  as 
tliey  have  behaved  themselves  ill  in  their 
doings. 

5  ^f  Thus  saith  the  Lord  concerning 
the  prophets  that  make  my  people  err, 
that  '  bite  with  their  teeth,  and  cry, 
Pea^-e  :  and  he  that  g  putteth  not  into 
their  mouths,  they  even  prepare  war 
against  him  : 

6  Therefore  ^  night  shall  be  unto  you, 
that  ye  sliall  not  have  a  vision  ;  and  it 
shall  be  dark  unto  you,  that  ye  shall  not 
divine  ;  and  the  sun  shall  go  down  over 
the  prophets,  and  the  day  shall  be  dark 
over  Ihem. 

7  Then  shall  tlie  seers  be  ashamed, 
and  the  diviners  confounded  :  yea,  they 
shall  ail  cover  their  •  lips  :  for  there  is 
no  -^  answer  of  God. 

8  ^i  But  truly  I  am  ^  full  of  power  by 
the  Spirit  oftbeLoRD,  and  of  judgment, 
and  of  might,  to  declare  unto  Jacob  his 
transgression,  and  to  Israel  his  sin. 

9  Hear  this,  I  pray  you,  ye  heads  of 
the  house  of  Jacob,  and  princes  of  the 
house  of  Israel,  th.at  abhor  judgment, 
and  pervert  all  equity, 

10  They  build  up  Zion  ™  with  blood, 
and  Jerusalem  with  iniquity.

say.  Come,  and  let  us  go  up  to  the  moun 
tain  ufthe  Lord,  and  to  the  house  or 
tlie  God  of  Jacob  ;  and  he  will  teach  us 
of  his  ways,  and  we  will  walk  in  his 
paths  :  for  the  law  shall  go  forth  of  Zi- 
on, and  the  word  of  the  Lord  ^  from 
Jerusalem. 

3  If  And  he  shall  "^  judge  among  many 
people,   and  rebuke  strong  nations  afar 

.off:  and  they  shall  beat  their  swords 
into  plough- shares,  and  their  spears  into 
pruning-hooks  ;  nation  shall  not  lift  up 
a  sword  against  nation,  neither  shall  ^ 
they  learn  war  any  more.

in  the  name  of  ''  his  god,  and  we  will 
walk  in  tlie  name  of  the  Lord  '  our  God 
for  ever  and  ever.

7  And  I  will  make  her  that  halted  a 
remnant,  and  her  that  was  cast  far  off  '" 
a  strong  nation  :  and  the  "  Lord  shall 
reign  over  them  in  mount  Zion  from 
henceforth,  even  for  ever. 

8  And  thou,  O  tower  of  the  flock,  the 
strong  hold  of  the  daughter  of  Zion, 
unto  thee  shall  it  come,  even  the  first

ful vengeance  by  the  Chaldeans. 

THE  burden  which  Habakkuk  the 
prophet  did  '  see. 

2  O  Lord,  ''  how  long  shall  I  crj', 
and  thou  wilt  "^  not  hear  !  even  cry  out 
unto  ihee  o/"  violence,  and  thou  wilt  not 
save  ! 

3  Why  dost  thou  ''  shew  me  iniquity 
and  cause  ine  to  behold  grievance  ?  for 
sp.'iling  and  violence  are  before  me  : 
and  there  are  that  raise  up  ttrife  and 
contention. 

4  Therefore  the  law  is  =  slacked,  and 
judgment  doth  never  go  forth  :  for  t!ie 
wicked  doth  -"  compass  about  the  righ- 
teous ;  g  therefore  wrong  judgment  pro- 
ceedeth. 

5  ^  Behold  ye  among  the  heathen, 


and  regard,  and  wonder  marvellously  : 
for  I  will  ^  work  a  work  in  your  days 
which  ye  will  '  not  believe,  though  it 
be  told  jo!<. 

6  For,  lo,  I  raise  up  the  k  Chaldeans, 
that  bitter  and  '  hasty  nation,  which 
shall  march  through  the  breadth  of  the 
land,  to  possess  the  dwelling-places  that 
are  not  their's. 

7  Tiiey  ..re  terrible  and  dreadfid  : 
tlieir  judgment  and  their  dignity  shall 
proceed  of  themselves. 

8  Their  horses  also  are  swifter  than 
the  leopards,  and  are  more  fierce  than 
the  ■"  evening  wolves  ;  and  their  horse- 
men shall  spread  themselves,  and  their 
horsemen  shall  come  from  far ;  the-} 
shall  fly  as  the  "  eagle  that  h.istelh  to  eat 

9  They  shall  come  all  for  violence  : 
their  taces  shall  sup  up  as  the  °  east 
wind,  and  they  shall  gather  the  captivi- 
ty as  the  sand.

AGAIN  the  word  of  the  Lord  of  t 

hosts  came  to  me,  saying, 

2Thussaitht]ie  Lord  of  hosts,  I  w^s  {

3  Thus  saith  the  Lord,  I  am  return-  ^  ^^j^'^    \ 
ed  unto  Zion,   and  will  =  dwell  in  the  1.2. 
midst  of  Jerusalem  ;  and  Jerusalem  shall  g^jQ°'^' 
be  calleil,    'i  A  city  of  truth  ;   and  the  <iisaiah 
mountain  of  the  Lord  of  hosts,   The  i- 21. 
holy  mountain.  21.2V. 

4  Thus    saith  the   Lord  of  hosts. 
There  shall  yet  =  old  men  and  old  wo-  e  Isaiah

and  every  man  with  his  stafl'in  liis  hand  3.  5,  " 
for  very  age. 

5  And  the  streets  of  the  city  shall  be 
full  of  boys  and  girls  playing  in  the 
sti  eets  thereof. 

6  Thus  saith  the  Loud  of  hosts,  If  it 
be  marvellous  in  the  eyes  of  the  rem- 
nant of  this  people  in  these  days,  should 

it  also  be  marvellous    'in  mine  eyes? /Gen.

and  they  shall  be  my  people,  and  I  will  3.  I8. 
be  their  God,  in  truth  and  in  righteous-  ^^°^

9  ^Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  ■  /Haggav 
Let  your  hands  be  strong,  ye  that  hear  |-  4- 

in    <<  these   days   these   words    by   the  ver°se"8. 
mouth  of  the  prophets,  which  ivere  in* Ezra 
the  day  that  the  foundation  of  the  house  "'•  ®" 
of  the  Lord  of  hosts  was  laid,  that  the 
temple  might  be  built. 

10  For  before  these  days  there  was  /  Haggai 
'  no  hire  for  man,  nor  any  hire  for  beast ;  2. 6,  is. 
neither  wa*  there  any   ">  peace  to  him  mSChr. 
that  went  out  or  came  in,  because  of  ^*-  *•

1 1  But  now  I  ivill  not  be  unto  the  re- 
sidue of  this  pei^ple  °  as  in  the  former 
days,  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 

12  For  the  seed  shall  be  prosperous  ; 
the  vine  shall  give  her  fruit,    and   the 
ground  shall  give  her  p  increase,  and  p  oeut. 
the  heavens  sliall  give  their  dew  ;  and  28. 8. 

I  will  cause  the  remnant  of  this  people  ^^^g"

15  So  again  have  I  thought  in  these 
tlay.s  to  do  well  unto  Jerusalem,  and  to 
the  house  of  Judah  :  fear  ye  not. 

16 11  These  are  the  things  that  ye  shall 
"  do,  Speak  ye  every  man  the  y  truth  to 
his  neighbour  ;  execute  the  judgment 
z  of  truth  and  peace  in  your  gates  : 

17  And  let  none  of  you  » imagine  evil 
in  your  hearts  against  his  neighbour ; 
and  love  no  false  oalli  :  for  all  ihese  are 
things  that  I  hate,  saith  the  Lord. 

18  II  And  the  word  of  the  Lord  of 
hosts  came  unto  me,  saying, 

19  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts. 
The  fast  of  the  ^  fourth  month,  and  the 
fast  of  the  <:  fifth,  and  the  fast  of  the  ^ 
seventli,  and  the  fast  of  the  •?  tentli,  shall 
be  to  tiie  house  of  Judah  'joy  and  glad- 
ness, and  cheerful  feasts  :  therefore  love 
the  U'uih  and  peace. 

20  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  It 
shall  yet  come  to  pass,  that  tliere  shall 
g  come  people,  and  the  inhabitants  of 
many  cities ; 

21  And  the  inhabitants  o.f  one  city 
shall  go  to  another,  saying,  ''Let  us  go 
speedily  to  pray  before  the  Lord,  and 
to  seek  the  Lord  of  hosts ;  I  will  go 
also. 

22  Yea,  ■  many  people  and  strong  na- 
tions shall  come  to  seek  the  Lord  of 
hosts  in  Jerusalem,  and  to  pray  before 
the  Lord. 

23  Thus  saith  the  Lord  of  hosts.  In 
those  days  it  shall  covie  to  pass,  that  ten 
men  shall  take  hold  out  of  all  languages 
of  the  nations,  even  shall  take  hold  of 
the  ^  skirt  of  him  that  is  a  Jew,  saying, 
We  will  go  with  you  ;  for  '  we  have 
heard  that  God  is  with  you.

ivas  no  =  shepherd, 

3  fl  Mine  anger  was  kindled  against 
the  ^  shepherds,  and  I  punished  the  "= 
goats  :  for  the  Lord  of  hosts  hath  visit- 
ed his  flock  the  house  of  Judah,  and 
hath  made  them  as  his  goodly  horse  in 
the  battle. 

4  Out  of  him  came  forth  the  f  corner, 
out  of  him  the  g  nail,  out  of  him  the  bat- 
tle-bow,  out  of  him  every  oppressor  to-

5  And  they  shall  be  as  ''  mighty  '}ne)i, 
which  tread  down  their  enemies  in  the

they  shall  flglit,  because  the  Lor»  is  >

6  And  I  will  strengthen  the  house  of 
Judah,  and  I  will  save  the  house  of  Jo- 
seph, and  I  will  k  bring  them  again  to 
place  them  :  for  I  '  have  mercy  upon 
them  ;  and  they  shall  be  as  though  I  had 
not  cast  them  of}":  for  I  am  the  Lord

7  And  they  of  Ephraim  shall  be  like

1  The  destruction  of  'Jerusaletn-    4  By  a 
type  is  shevied  Christ's  care  for  hisfuck. 
iO  The  staves  Beauty  arid  Bands. 
OPEN  thy  doors,    O   ■  Lebanon, 

that  b  the  fire 'may  devour  thy  cedars. 

2  Howl,  fir-tree,  for  the  cedar  is  fall- 
en  ;  because  (he  <^  mighty  are  spoiled  : 
howl,  O  ye  oaks  of  Bashan,  for  the  for- 
est nf  the  vintage  is  come  down. 

3  KI  There  is  ii  voice  of  the  howling  of 
th?  ^  shepherds  ;  for  their  ^  glory  is 
spoiled  :  a  voice  of  the  roaring  of  youn.c 
lions  ;  for  the  pride  of  Jordan  is  spoiled 

4  ^  Thus  s.'iith  the  Lord  my  GotI 
^Feed  the  flock  of  the  slaughter, 

5  Whose  ?  possessors  slay  them,  and 


hold  themselves  '>  not  guilty  :  and  they 
that  '  sell  them  say,  ^  Blessed  be  the 
Lord  ;  for  I  am  rich  :  and  their  own 
shepherds  pity  them  not. 

6  For  I  will  no  more  '  pity  the  .inha- 
bitants of  the  land,  saith  the  Lord  :  but, 
lo,  I  will  deliver  the  men  every  one  inm 
his  neighbour's  hand,  and  into  the  hand 
of  his  >n  king ;  and  they  shall  smite  the 
land,  and  out  of  their  hand  I  will  not 
deliver  them. 

7  And  I  will  feed  the  flock  of  slaugh- 
ter, even  you,  O  "  poor  of  the  flock.  And 
I  took  unto  me  two  staves  ;  the  one 
I  called  °  Beauty,  and  the  other  I  called 
p  Bands:  and  I  fed  the  flock. 

8  1  Three  shepherds  also  I  cut  off"  in 
one  month  ;  and  my  soul  loathed  them, 
and  their  soul  also  abhorred  me. 

9  Then  ^  said  I,  I  will  not  feed  you  : 
that  that  dieth,  '  let  it  die  ;  and  that  that 
is  to  be  cut  off,  let  it  be  cut  off;  and 
let  the  rest  eat  every  one  the  flesh 
another. 

10  ^  And  I  took  my  stafl^,  even  Beauty, 
and  t  cut  it  asunder,  that  I  might  break 
my  covenant  which  I  had  made  with  all 
the  people. 

11  And  it  was  broken  in  that  day: 
and  so  the  "  poor  of  the  fluck  that  waited 
upon  me  knew  that  it  ivas  the  word  of 
the  Lord. 

12  And  I  said  unto  them.  If  ye  think 
good,  give  V2e  my  pricg  ;  and  if  not,

ni  Peter  ther,  where  is  mine  honour  ?  ai.d  if  I  be  \ 
^'  ^^'        a  masctr,  where  is  my  fear  ?  saith  the  | 
oHosea    Lord  of  hosts  unto  you,  °  O  priests,} 
5- 1-         that  despise  my  nanre.     And  ye  say. 
Wherein  ?  have  we  despised  thy  name  ? 

7  Ye  offer  "5  polluted  bread  up m  mme 
altar ;  and  ye  say.  Wherein  have  we  pol- 
luted thee  ?  In  tl.at  ye  say,  ^  The  table 
of  the  Lord  is  contempiible. 

8  And  if  ye  offer  the  blind  for  sacri- 
fice,  s  is  it  not  evil  ?  and  if  ye  offer  the  ' 
lame  and  sick,  is  /f  not  evil  ;  offer  it.now 
unto  thy  governor  :  will  he  be  pleased 
with  thee,  or  accept  thy  person  ?  saith 
the  Lord  of  hosts. 

9  And  now,  ■■  I  pray  you,  beseech  God 
that  he  will  be  gracious  unto  us  ;  this 

X 1  Sam.  hath  been  by  your  means  :  will  he  "  re- 
1.30.        gard  your  persons?  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

10  Who  is  there  even  among  you  that 
would  shut  the  Aoovs  for  nought?  neither 
do  ye  kindle  fire  y  on  mine  altar  for 
nought.  I  have  ^  no  pleasure  in  you, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts,  neither  «iU  1 
accept  an  ofiering  at  your  hand. 

11  For  from  the  rising  of  the  sun,  even 
unto  the  going  down  of  the  same,  my 

« Isaiah  name  shall  be  great  »  among  the  Gen- 
tiles ;  and  '>  in  every  place  incense  shall 
be  offered  unto  my  name,  and  a  pure 
offering  :  for  my  name  shall  be  great  a- 
mong  the  heathen,  saith  the  Lord  of 
hosts. 

13  ^  But  "  ye  have  profaned  it,  in  that 
ye  say.  The  table  of  the  Lord  is  ^  pol- 
luted :  and  the  fruit  thereof,  extn  his 
meat,  is  contemptible. 

13  Ye  said  also.  Behold,  what  a  <=  wea- 
riness is  it !  and  ye  have  snuffed  at  it, 
saith  the  Lord  of  hosts  :  and  ye  brouglit 
that  vhich  =aas  torn,  and  the  lame,  and 
the  sick  ;  thus  ye  brought  an  offering  : 
should  I  accept  this  of  your  hand  ?  sailh 
the  Lord.

which  hatli  in  his  flock  a  male,  and

BEHOLD,  I  will  send  my  "  mes- 
senger, and  he  shall  prepare  the  way 
before  me  :  and  the  Lord,  whom  ye 
seek,  shall  suddenly  come  to  his  ''  tem- 
ple, even  the  messenger  of  the  covenant, 
whom  ye  delight  in  :  behold,  he  '^  shall 
come,  saith  the  Lord  of  bosts. 

2  But  who  may  ^  abide  the  day  of  his 
coming  ?  and  who  shall  stand  when  he 
appeareth  ?  for  he  is  like  a  refiner's  fire, 
and  like  fuller's  soap  : 

3  And  he  shall  sit  =  as  a  refiner  and 
purifier  of  silver ;  and  he  shall  purify  the 
sons  of  Levi,  and  purge  them  as  gold 
and  silver,  that  they  may  ofier  unto  the 
Lord  an  offering  in  righteousness. 

4  Then  shall  the  offering  of  Judah 
and  Jerusalem  ^  be  pleasant  unto  the 
Lord,  as  in  the  days  of  old,  and  as  in

16  And  Jacob  begat  Joseph  the  hus- 
band of  Mary,  of  whom  was  born  Jesus, 
who  is  called  Christ. 

17  So  all  the  generations  from  Abra- 
ham to  David,  are  fourteen  generations; 
and  from  David,  until  the  cariying  a- 
way  into  Babylon,  are  fourteen  genera- 
tions ;  and  from  the  carrying  away  into 
Babylon  unto  Christ,  are  fourteen  gene- 
rations. 

18  ly  *  n  Now,  the  birth  of  Jesus  Christ 
was  on  this  wise  :  When  as  his  mothe' 
Mary  was  espoused  to  Josepli,  before 
they  came  t  ;gether,  she  was  found  with 
child  of  the  Holy  Ghost. 

19  o  Tl'.en  Joseph  her  husband,  beinc 
aju'^t  irian,  and  not  willing  to  make  her 
a  public  example,  was  minded  to  put  her 
awav  privily. 

26  p  But  while  he  thought  on  these 
things,  behold,  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him  in  a  dream,  saying, 
Joseph,  thou  sou  of  David,  fear  not  to 
take  unto  thee  Mary  thy  wife  ;  for  that 
which  is  conceived  in  her  is  of  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

21  <i  And  she  shall  bring  forth  a  son, 
and  thou  shalt  call  his  name  JESUS  ;  for 
he  shall  save  his  people  from  their  sins. 

22  (Now  all  this  was  done,  that  it 
might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  of 
the  I,or'l  by  the  prophet,  saving, 

23  '  Behold,  a  virgin  shall  be  with 
child,  and  shall  bring  forth  a  son,  and 
they  shall  call  his  name  Emmanuel, 
which,  being  interpreted,  is,  God  with 
us.) 

24  Then  Joseph,  being  raised  from 
sleep,  did  as  the  angel  of  the  Lord  had 
bidden  him,  and  took  unto  him  his  wife; 

25  And  knew  her  not  till  she  had 
brought  forth  her  first-bora  son :  and  he 
called  his  name  JESUS.

King  of  the  Jews  I  for  we  have  seen  his 
star  in  the  east,  and  are  come  to  wor- 
ship him. 

3  When  Herod  the  king  had  heard 
these  things  he  was  troubled,  and  all  Je- 
rusalem with  him. 

4  And  when  he  had  gathered  all  the 
chief  priests  and  scribes  of  the  people 
together,  he  demanded  of  them  where 
Christ  should  be  born. 

5  And  they  said  unto  him,  In  Beth-le- 
hem  of  Judea  :  for  thus  it  is  written  by 
the  prophet, 

6  ■:  And  thou  Beth-lehem,  in  the  land 
of  Juda,  art  not  the  least  among  the 
princes  of  Juda:  for  out  of  thee  shall 
come  a  Governor,  that  shall  rule  my 
people  Israel. 

7  Then  Herod,  when  lie  had  privily 
called  the  wise  men,  enquired  of  them 
diligently  what  time  the  star  appeared. 

8  And  he  sent  them  to  Beth-lehem, 
and  said,  Go,  and  search  diligently  for 
ttie  young  child;  and,  when  ye  have 
found  /i/?/i,  bring  me  word  again,  that 
I  may  come  and  worship  him  also. 

9  ^f  When  they  had  heard  the  king 
they  departed  ;  and,  lo,  the  star,  which 
they  saw  in  the  east,  went  before  them, 
till  it  came  and  stood  over  where  the 
young  child  was. 

10  When  they  saw  the  star,  they  re- 
joiced with  exceeding  great  jo}'. 

11  ^  fi  And,  when  they  were  come  in- 
to the  house,  they  saw  the  young  child 
with  Mary  his  mother,  and  fell  down, 
and  worshipped  him  :  and  when  they 
had  opened  their  treasures,  they  pre- 
sented unto  him  gifts;  gold,  and  frank- 
incense, and  myrrh. 

12  And,  being  warned  of  (>od  in  a 
dream  that  they  should  not  return  to 
Herod,  they  departed  into  their  own 
country  another  way. 

13  If  And  when  they  were  departed, 
behold,  the  angel  of  the  Lord  appeareth 
to  Joseph  in  a  dream,  saying.  Arise,  and 
take  the  young  child  and  his  mother, 
and  flee  into  Egypt,  and  be  thou  there 
until  I  bring  thee  word  :  for  Herod  will 
seek  the  young  child  to  destroy  him. 

14  W'len  he  arose,  he  took  the  young 
child  raid  his  mother  by  night,  and  de- 
parted into  Egypt ; 

15  >=  And  was  (here  until  the  f  death 
of  Herod:  tliat  it  might  be  fulfilled 
which  was  .spoken  of  the  Lonl  by  ihe 
prophet,  saying,  Out  of  Egypt  have  I 
called  nty  son. 

16  ^Tlien  Herod,  vi-hen  he  saw  tliat 
he  was  mocked  of  ihe  wise  men,  was 
cxcced'.Jig  v/rolli,  and  sent  forth,  and 
slew  all  the  children  that  were  in  Beth- 
lehem, and  in  all  the  coasts  thereof,  from 
two  years  old  ;uid  under,  according  to 
the  time  which  he  had  diligently  cn- 
q'lired  of  the  wise  men.

21  And  he  arose,  and  took  the  young 
child  and  his  mother,  and  came  into  the 
land  of  Israel. 

22  But  when  he  heard  that  Archelaus 
did  reign  in  Judea,  in  the  room  of  his 
father  Herod,  he  was  afraid  to  go  thi- 
ther :  notwilhstanding,  being  warned  of 
God  in  a  dream,  he  turned  a.side  into  the 
parts  of  Gahlee  :

mandnr:ent  to  depart  unto  the  other  side. 

19  n  And  a  certain  scribe  came,  and  «  Im\^ 
said  unto  him.  Master,  I  will  follow  thee  ^'  *^* 
whithersoever  thou  goest. 

20  And  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  The 
f'xes  have  holes,  and  the  birds  of  the 
air  have  nests  ;  but  the  Son  of  man  hath 
not  where  to  lay  his  head. 

21  "And  another  of  his  disciples  said  *^g^* 
unto  him.  Lord,  suffer  me  first  to  go  and 
bury  my  father.

24  And,  behold,  there  arose  a  great  oji^jj 
tempest  in  the  sea,  insomuch  that  the  4. 3s. 
ship  was  covered  with  the  waves  :  but  J'"'|^ 
he  was  asleep. 

25  Aad  his  disciples  came  to  him,  and 
awoke  him,  saying,  Lord,  save  us  :  we 
perish. 

26  And  he  saith  unto  t'lcm,  Why  are 
ye  fearful  ?  O  ye  of  little  faith  !  Then  he 
arose,  and  rebuked  the  winds  and  the 
sea  ;  and  there  was  a  great  calm. 

27  f  But  the  men  marvelled,  saying,  >•  Psalms

the  winds  and  the  sea  obey  him!  Luke*

exceeding  fierce,  so  that  no  man  might 

pass  by  that  way.

them  an  herd  of  many  swine  feeding. 

31  So  the  devils  besought  him,  saying. 
If  thou  cast  us  out,  suffer  us  to  go  away 
into  the  herd  uf  swine.

preached  to  them.

a  AT  that  time  Jesus  went  on  the

disciples  w  ere  an  hungered,  and  began 
Luke  6.1.  to  pluck  the  ears  of  corn,  and  to  eat. 

2  But  when  tlie  Pharisees  sa»\  it  ihey 
said  unto  him.  Behold,  thy  di^ciples  do 
tha'  which  is  not  lawful  to  do  upon  the 
sabb  ith  day. 

3  But  he  said  unto  them,  Have  ye  not

how  that,  on  the  sabbith-days,  tlie 
priests  in  the  temple  profane  the  sab- 
bath, and  are  blameless  ? 

6  A  But  I  say  unto  you.  That  in  this 
place  is  one  gre.iter  than  the  temple. 

7  ^  But  if  ye  had  known  what  this 
meaneth,  I  will  have  mercy,  and  not

might  accuse  him.

man  shall  there  be  amongynu  that  shall 
have  one  sheep,  and  if  it  fall  into  a  pit 
on  the  sabhalh-da},  will  he  not  lay  hold

»  THE  same  day  went  Jesus  out  of  V.^^'vJ

2  And  great  multitudes  were  gather-  Liie'8^^4.

■nto  a  .ship  and  sat;  and  the  whole  mul- 
liuide  stood  on  the  shore. 

3  And  he  spake  many  things  unto 
I'.ein  in  parables,  saying,  Beliold,  a 
.1  ivver  went  forth  to  sow  : 

4  And,  when  he  sowed,  some  seeds 
fel  by  tile  waj  -side,  and  the  fowls  came 
..nu  devoured  them  up. 

5  Some  fell  upon  siony  places,  where 
'■■■ey  had  rot  much  eurth  ;  and  forthwith 

i.'ey  sprung  up,   because  they  hud  no

catchelh  away  that  which  was  sown  in 
his  heart.  This  is  he  which  received 
seed  by  the  way-bide. 

20  I'  But  he  that  received  the  seed  into 
stony  places,  the  same  is  he  that  hear- 
eth  the  word,  and  anon  with  joy  receiv- 
eth  it : 

21  Yet  hath  he  not  root  in  himself, 
but  dureth  for  a  while  ;  for  when  tribu- 
lation or  persecution  ariseth  because  of 
the  word,  by  and  by  he  is  offended. 

22  '  He  also  that  received  seed  among' 
the  thorns  is  he  that  heareth  the  word  ; 
and  the  care  of  this  world,  and  >.he  de- 
ceitfulness  of  riches,  choke  the  word, 
and  he  becometli  unfruitful. 

23  But  he  that  received  seed  into  the 
g'ood  gTound  is  he  that  heareth  the  m  ord, 
and  understandeth  it;  which  also  hear- 
eth fruit,  and  bringeth  forth,  s'ur.e  an 
hundred-fold,  s  iitie  sixty,  some  Ihirtj. 

24  51  Another  parable  put  he  tort!' 
unto  them,  sayin.s:.  The  kingdom  of 
heaven  is  likened  unto  a  man  which 
sowed  good  seed  in  his  field  : 

25  But  while  men  slept,  his  enemy 
came  and  sowed  tares  among  the  wheat, 
and  went  his  way. 

26  But  when  the  blade  was  sprung- 
up,  and  brought  form  fruit,  then  ap;  ear- 
ed the  tares  also. 

27  ■"  So  the  servants  of  the  house- 
h;.lder  came  and  said  unto  him.  Si", 
didst  not  thou  sow  good  seed  in  th\ 
field  ?  from  wh<-nce  then  hath  it  tares  ? 

28  He  said  unto  them.  An  enemy  hath 
done  this.  The  servants  said  laito  him. 
Wilt  thou  then  that  we  go  and  gather 
them  up? 

29  But  he  said,  Nay  ;  lest,  while  je 
gather  up  the  tares,  ye  root  up  also  the 
wheat  with  them. 

30  n  Let  both  grow  together  until  the 
harvest ;  and  in  the  time  of  hai^est  I 
will  say  to  the  reapers.  Gather  ye  togeth- 
er hrst  the  tares,  and  bind  them  in 
bundles  to  burn  them;  but  gather  the 
wheat  into  my  bam. 

31  1[  "Another  parable  put  he  forth 
unto  them,  saying.  The  kingdom  of  hea- 
ven is  like  to  a  grain  of  mustard-seed, 
which  a  man  took  and  sowed  in  his  field : 

32  Which  indeed  is  the  least  of  all 
seeds  ;  but  when  it  is  grown  it  is  the 
greatest  among  herbs,  and  becometh  a 
tree  ;  so  that  the  birds  of  the  air  come 
and  lodge  in  the  branches  thereof. 

33  ^  p  Another  parable  spake  he  unto 
them,  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  hke 
unto  leaven,  which  a  woman  took  and 
hid  in  three  measures  of  meal,  till  the 
whole  was  leavened. 

34  <)  All  these  things  spake  Jesus  unto 
the  multitude  in  parables  ;  and  without 
a  parable  spake  he  not  imto  them  : 

35  r  That  it  might  be  fulHUed  whicli 
was  spoken  by  the  prophet,  saying,  I 
will  open  my  mouth  in  parables  ;  1  wiil 
ut'.er  things  which  have  been  kept  se- 
cret Irom  the  foundiUioa  ol'  the  world. 


CHAP.  XIII,  The  exposition  thereof. 

36  tl  Then  Jesus  sent  the  multitude  ^ Anno 
awa)',  and  went  into  the  house  ;  »nd  his       3j  " 
disciples   came   unto  him,  saying,  De-  \,y\.^^ 
clare  unto  us  the  parable  of  the  tares  of 
the  field. 

37  He  answered  and  said  unto  them. 
He  that  soweth  the  good  seed  is  the 
Son  of  man ; 

38  '  The  field  is  the  world ;  the  good  »Gen. 
seed  are  the  children  of  the  kingdom  ;  ^:  ^*' 
but   the  tares  are  the  children  of  the  24.1?alid 
wicked  one;  28. 19.

defileth  a  man,  Sec. 

»  THEN  came  to  Jesus  scribes  and 
Pharisees,  which  were  of  Jerusalem, 
saying, 

2  Why  do  thy  disciples  transgress  the 
tradition  of  the  elders  ?  for  Ihey  wash 
not  their  hands  when  they  eat  bread. 

3  But  he  answered  and  said  unto  them, 
Why  do  ye  also  transgress  tlie  com- 
mandment of  God  by  your  tradition  ? 

4  ''  For  God  commanded,  saying,  Ho- 
nour  thy  father  and  mother  :  and.  He 
that  curseth  father  or  mother,  let  him 
die  the  death. 

5  But  ye  say,  Whosoever  shall  say  to 
his  father,  or  his  mother,  It  is  a  gift,  by 
whatsoever  thou  mightest  be  profited  by 
me, 

6  <=  And  honour  not  his  father  or  his 
mother,  he  shall  be  free.  Thus  have  ye 
made  the  commandment  of  God  of  none 
effect  by  your  tradition. 

7  Te  hypocrites  !  well  did  Esaias  pro- 
phesy of  you,  saying, 

8  "^  This  people  drawelh  nigh  unto  me 
with  their  mouth,  and  honoureth  me 
with  their  lips  ;  but  their  heart  is  far 
from  me. 

9  But  in  vain  they  do  worship  me, 
teaching  for  doctrines  the  command- 
ments of  men. 

10  ^  <=  And  he  called  the  multitude, 
and  said  unto  them,  Hear,  and  under- 
stand : 

11  ^Not  that' which  goeth  into  the 
mouth  defileth  a  man  ;  but  that  which 
cometh  out  of  the  mouth,  this  defileth 
a  man. 

12  Then  came  his  disciples,  and  said 
unto  him,  Knowest  thou  that  the  Pha- 
risees were  offended  after  they  heard 
this  saying  \ 

13  g  But  he  answered  and  said.  Every 
plant,  which  my  heavenly  Father  hath 
not  planted,  shall  be  rooted  up. 

14  h  Let  them  alone  :  they  be  blind 
leaders  of  the  blind.  And  if  the  blind 
lead  the  bUnd,  both  shall  fall  into  the 
ditch. 

15  '  Thau  answered  Peter,  and  said 
unto  him.  Declare  unto  us  this  parable. 

16  ^  And  Jesus  said.  Are  ye  also  yet 
without  understanding  ? 

17  Do  not  ye  yet  understand,  that 
whatsoever  entereth  in  at  the  mouth 
goeth  into  tiie  belly,  and  is  cast  out  into 
the  drauglit : 

18  1  But  those  things  which  proceed 
out  of  the  mouth  come  forth  from  the 
heart,  and  they  defile  the  man  ? 

19  m  For  out  of  the  heart  proceed 
evil  thoughts,  murders,  adulteries,  for- 
nications, thefts,  false  witness,  blasphe- 
mies ; 

20  These  are  the  things  which  defile 
a  man  :  hut  to  eat  with  unuashen  hands 
del^lelh  not  a  man. 

21  ^  "Then  Jesus  went  tlience,  andde- 
parted  into  the  coasts  of  Tyre  and  Sidon. 


22  And,  behold,  a  woman  of  Canaan     Anno 
came  out  of  the  same  coasts,  and  crieii       ^2  ^ 
iintf)  Iiim,  saying,  Have  mercy  on  me,  ^^-yO 
O  Lord,  thou  son  of  David  ;  my  daught- 
er is  grievously  vexed  with  a  devil. 

23  But  he  answered  her  not  a  word. 
And  his  disciples  came  and  besought 
liim,  saying.  Send  her  away;  for  she 
ciielh  after  us. 

24  °  But  he  answered  and  said,  I  am  oisaiah 
not  sent  but  unto  the  lost  sheep  of  the  S3.  6. 
house  of  Israel.  ,  Tp^ter 

25  Then  came  she  and  worshipped  2. 25. 
liim,  saying,  Lord,  help  me.  Jer.^50. 

26  p  But  he  answered  and  said,  It  is  Ezekjej 
not  meet  to  take  the  children's  bread,  34.5,  6. 
and  to  cast  it  to  dog's.  ^^"?  „, 

27  And  she  said,  Truth,  Lord  ;  yet  zeeh. 
the  dogs  eat  of  the  crumbs  which  fall  n.  17. 
from  their  master's  table.  gUlT^ 

28  Then  Jesus  ans\vered  and  said  unto  and  lo. 
her,  O  woman,  great  />thy  faith  :  be  it  ^'  6. 
unto  thee  even  as  thou  wilt.     And  her  j4_  55'

29  <!  And  Jesus  departed  from  thence,  25,25.an^ 
and  came  nigh  unto  the  sea  of  Galilee,  ^-  46. 
and  went  up  into  a  mountain,  and  sat  15°™.^"'

31  Insomuch  that  the  multitude  won- 
dered, when  they  saw  the  dumb  to  speak, 
the  maimed  to  be  whole,  the  lame  to 
walk,  and  the  blind  to  see:  and  they 
glorified  the  God  of  Israel. 

32  ^  '  Then  Jesus  called  his  disciples  jlHark 
unto  Iiim,  and  said,  I  have  compassion  ^-  ^'  ^'•• 
on  the  multitude,  because  they  conti- 
nue with  me  now  three  days,  and  have 
nothing  to  eat :  and  I  will  not  send  tliem 

away  fasting,  lest  they  faiat  in  the  way. 

33  ^  And  his  disciples  say  unto  him,  (2  Kings 
Whence  should  we  have  so  much  bread  4.  43. 

in  the  wilderness  as  to  fill  so  great  a 
multitude  ? 

34  And  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  How 
many  loaves  have  ye  ?  and  they  said. 
Seven,  and  a  few  little  fishes. 

35  And  he  commanded  the  multitude 
to  sit  down  on  the  ground.

an  well  pleased  ;  hear  ye  him. 

6  .^..nd  when  tbe  disciples  heard  it 
tliey  fell  on  their  face,  and  were  s.re 
afraid. 

7  ••  And  JesMS  caine  and  touched 
them,  and  said,  Arise,  and  be  not  afraid. 

8  And  u  iien  they  had  lifted  up  their 
eyes  they  saw  no  nnan,  save  Jesus  onh'. 

9  =  And,  as  tlie;.  came  down  from  ilie 
:. mountain,  Jesi  s  charg^ed  them,  sayir.sc. 
Tell  the  vi.-ion  t:;  no  man,  Uutil  the  Son 
of  man  be  risen  ag'ain  from  the  dead. 

10  ^<^  And  iiis  disciples  asked  him, 
sp.yi'.ig-,  ',Vhy  then  say  the  scribes  that 
Elias  auist  Hr.-t  come  ? 

11  A  id  Je.=:us  answered  ar.d  said  uu- 
!o  t'iem,  Elias  truly  shall  first  come,  and 
restore  all  things  : 

12  sBut  I  sf.y  unto  you,  Th.at  Elias 
:.9  come  already,  and  they  knew  him 
i'.  )t ;  but  have  done  unto  him  whatsoever 
tiiey  listed  :  hkewise  shall  also  the  Son 
of  man  suffer  of  tl/cm. 

13  Then  the  disciples  understood  that 
he  spake  unto  Hiem  of  John  the  Baptist. 

14  ^  h  And  when  thev  were  come  to 
the  multitude,  there  came  to  him  a  cer- 
tain vian,  kneeling  down  to  liim.,  and 
sayi,.L:, 

15  Lord,  have  mercy  on  my  son  ;  for  i 
he  13  lunatic,  and  sore  vexed  :    for  oft-  j 
times  he  faileth  into  the  fire,  and  oft  in- 
to the  wpter.  \ 

16  And  I  brought  him  to  thy  disci-  j 
pies,  and  they  could  not  cure  him.  j 

17  Then  Jesus  answered  antl  said,  O  i 
faithless  ami  perverse  generation  !  how  | 
long  shall  I  be  with  you  .'  how  long  shall 
1  suH'er  you  ?  Bring  him  hither  to  me. 

18  And  Jesus  rebuked  the  devil,  and 
he  deparv  d  out  of  him  :  and  the  child 
was  cured  from  tiiat  ^•ery  hour. 

19  Then  came  the  disciples  to  Jesus 
apart,  and  said,  Why  could  we  not  ca.vt 
liim  out  ? 

20  '  And  Jesu.9  said  unto  th.em.  Be- 
cause of  your  unbelief:  for  verily  I  say 
unto  you.  If  je  have  faith  as  a  grain  of 
mustard-seed,  ye  shall  say  unto  liiis 
mountain.  Remove  hence  to  yonder 
place,  and  it  shall  remove  ;  and  nothing 
bliall  be  impossible  unto  you. 

21  Ho-.vbeit  tliis  kind  goeth  not  out 
but  by  pra\er  and  fasting. 

22  If  1:  And,  \\  hiie  they  abode  in  Ga- 
lilee, Jesus  said  unto  them,  The  Son  of 
man  shall  be  betra\eu  into  the  hands  of 
men  ; 

23  And  they  shall  kill  him,  and.  the 
third  day  he  shall  be  raised  again.  And 
th&y  were  exceeding  sorry. 

21  «|  1  And  wiien  they  were  come  to 
Capernaum,  they  that  received  tribute- 
raoncy  came  to  Peter,  and  said,  Doth, 
not  youv  Muster  p.ay  tribute  ? 

25  He  saith,  Ves.  And  when  he  w.is 
come  into  the  house  Jesus  prevented 
l-.im,  saying,  What  Ihinkest  thou,  Si- 
mon ;    Of  whom  do  the  kings  of  the 


eartli  take  custom  or  tribute  \   of  their     ^"'i1,,

*  AT  tlie  same  lime  came  the  dis-

gre.atest  in  tlie  kingdom  of  heaven? 

2  And  Je.-.us  called  alitliechild  unto

them, 

3  ^  And  said,  Verily  I  say  unto  you. 
Except  \e  be  converted,  and  become  as 
litile  children,  ye  shall  not  enter  into  the 
kingdom  of  heaven. 

4  "^Whosoever,  tiierefore,  shall  hum-

is  greatest  in  tlie  kingdom  of  heaven. 

5  '1  And  whoso  shall  receive  one  such 
little  child  in  my  name  recei>  elh  me. 

6  « But  whoso  shall  offend  one  pf 
these  little  ones  which  believe  in  rae,  it 
were  better  for  him  tiiat  a  millstont 
were  hanc^ed  about  his  neck,  and  ihat 
lie  were  drowned  in  the  depth  of  the 
sea. 

7  ^  '  Woe  unto  tiie  world  because  ■■  • 
oifences  ?  for  it  must  needs  'oe  that  of- 
fences come  ;  but  \roe  to  that  man  by 
whom  tiie  oH'ance  cometh  ? 

8  :<  Wiierei'ore,  if  thy  hand  or  thy  foot 
of^e.'d  thee,  cut  them  ofU  and  cast  them 
from  thee  :  it  is  better  fir  thee  to  enter 
into  life  hal!:  or  maimed,  ratlier  than 
having  tv.o  t  ands,  nr  tuo  feet,  to  be 
cast  into  everlastin.g  fire. 

9  And  if  thine  eye  ofiend  tlvee,  pluck 
it  out,  and  cast  it  from  thee :  itis  bettc 
for  t!iee  to  enter  into  life  witli  one  eye, 
rather  than  h.aving  two  eyes  to  be  cast 
into  hell-fire. 

10  ^''  Take  heed  thiit  ye  despise  not 
one  of  these  little  ones  :  for  I  say  i;nio 
you,  That  in  heaven  their  angels  do  al- 
ways behold  the  face  of  my  Father  which 
is  in  heaven.

15  ^  1  Moreover,  if  thy  brother  shall 
trespass  against  thee,  go  and  tell  him 
his  favilt  bi'tween  thee  and  him  alone  : 
if  he  shall  hear  thee,  thou  hast  gained

unto  thee  as  an  heathen  man  and  a  pub- 
lican. 

18  =>  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  AVhatso- 
ever  ye  siiall  bind  on  earth  shall  be 
bound  in  heaven  ;  and  whatsoever  ye 
shall  loose  on  earth  shall  be  loosed  in

19  P  Again  I  say  unto  you,  That  if  two 
of  you  shall  agree  on  earth  as  touching 
any  thing  ihat  tliey  shall  ask,  it  shall  be 
done  for  them  of  my  Fatl\er  which  is  in

20  For  where  two  or  three  are  gather- 
ed together  in  m}'  name,  there  am  I  in 
the  midst  of  them. 

21^9  Then  came  Peter  to  him,  and 
said,  Lord,  how  oft  shall  mybrolher  sin 
against  me,  and  I  forgive  him  ?  till  seven 
times  I 

22  f  Jesus  saitlv  unto  him,  I  say  not

g  Luke  23  ^[  Therefore  is  tlie  kingdom  of  hea- 
ven likened  unto  a  certain  king,  which 
would  take  account  of  his  servants. 

24  And  when  he  had  begun  to  reckon, 
one  was  brought  unto  him  which  owed 
him  ten  thousand  talents  : 

25  s  But  forasmuch  as  he  had  not  to 
pay,  his  lord  commanded  him  to  be 
sold,  and  his  wife  and  cnildren,  and  all 
tiiat  he  had,  and  payment  to  be  made. 

26  The  servant,  therefore,  fell  down, 
and  worshipped  him,  saying,  Lord,  have 
patience  with  me,  and  I  will  pay  thee 
all. 

27  Then  the  lord  of  that  servant  was 
mpved  witli  compassion,  and  loosed  him, 
and  forgave  him  the  debt. 

28  But  the  same  servant  went  out, 
and  found  one  of  his  fellow-servants, 
which  owed  him  ||  an  hundred  jience  ; 
and  he  laid  hands,  on  him,  and  f  took 
hivi  by  tlie  throat,  say  ing,  Pay  mp  that 
thou  owest. 

29  And  his  fellow-servant  fell  down 
pence  ^^  ^"^  feet,  and  besought  him,  sajhig, 
half-  Have  patience  with  me,  and  I  will  pay 
l-enny,       thee  all.

which  went  out  early  m  the  morning  to  21.33. 

hire  labourers  into  his  vineyard. 

2  And  when  he  had  agreed  with  the 
labourers  for  a  penny  a-day,  he  sent 
tl>em  into  his  vineyard. 

3  And  he  went  out  about  the  tliird 
hour,  and  saw  others  standing  idle  in 
the  market-place, 

4  ''And  said  unto  them.  Go  ye  also  *  Phil, 
into  the  vineyard,    and  whatsoever    !Sco[_'4_j^ 
right  I  will  give  you.    And  they  v/er.t  2  Peter  * 
then*  way.  ^-  ^^• 

5  Again,  he  went  out  about  the  sixth 
and  ninth  hour,  and  did  likewise. 

6  And  about  the  ele\enth  hour  he 
went  out,  and  found  others  standing 
idle,  and  saith  iinlo  I  hem.  Why  stand 
ye  here  all  the  day  idle  ? 

7  They  say  unto  him,  Because  no  man 
hath  hired  us.  He  saith  unto  them, 
Go  ye  also  into  the  vineyard ;  and 
whatsoever  is  right,  that  shall  ye  re- 
ceive. 

8  So  when  even  was  come,  the  lord 
of  the  vineyard  saith  unio  his  steward. 
Call  the  labourers,  and  give  them  their 
hire,  beginning  from  the  last  unto  the 
first. 

9  •^  And  when  they  came  that  were  c  1  Cor. 
/!»ec^  about  the  eleventh  hour,  they  re-  ^**^^" 
ceived  every  man  a  penny. 

10  But  when  the  first  came,  they  sup- 
posed that  they  should  have  received 
more  ;  and  they  likewise  received  every 
man  a  penny. 

11  And  wlien  they  had  received  it 
they  murmured  against  the  good  man  of 

the  house,  '  jn  th 

12  ''  Saying,  These  l.ast  have  wrought  2.  ig. 
but  one  hour,  and  tliou  hast  made  them  tGr. 
equal  unto   us,   which  have  borne  the  ^*f'<''"'» 
burden  and  heat  of  the  day.  3. 9. 

13  But  he  answered  one  of  them,  and  «chap. 
said,  t  Friend,  I  do  thee  no  wrong :  didst  jg  g^'  ^^ 
not  thou  agree  with  me  for  a  penny  >.        22!  14. 

14  Take  that  thine  is,  and  go  thy  ^^rk 
way  ?  I  will  give  unto  this  last  even  as  nik©

15  Is  it  not  lawful  for  me  to  do  what  ^^'^

23  ^  ra  The  same  day  came  to  liim 
the  Sadducees,  which  say  that  there  is 
no  resurrection,  and  asked  him, 

24  n  Saying,  Master,  Moses  said,  If  a 
man  die,  having  no  children,  iiis  bro- 
ther shall  marry  his  wife,  and  raise  up 
seed  unto  his  brother. 

25  Now  there  were  with  us  seven 
brethren ;  and  the  first,  when  he  had 
married  a  wife,  deceased,  and,  having 
no  issue,  left  his  wife  unto  his  br-otlier : 

26  Likewise  the  second  also,  and  the 
third,  i;nto  the  seventh. 

27  And  last  of  all  the  woman  died  also. 

28  Theivafore,  in  the  resurrection, 
whose  wife  slia'.l  she  be  of  the  seven  ?  for 
ihey  all  had  her. 

29  o  Jesus  answered  and  said  uiito 
them.  Ye  do  err,  not  knowing  the  sirip-

took  their  lamps,  and  went  forth  to 
meet  the  bridegroom. 

2  i"  And  five  of  them  were  wise,  and 
five  were  foolish. 

3  They  that  mere  foolish  took  their 
lamps,  and  took  no  oil  with  them  : 

4  But  the  wise  took  oil  in  their  ves- 
sels with  their  lamps. 

5  <:  While  the  bridegroom  tarried, 
they  all  slumbered  and  slept. 

6  <•  And  at  midnight  there  was  a  cry 
made.  Behold,  the  bridegroom  cometh  ; 
go  ye  out  to  meet  him. 

7  =  Then  all  those  virgins  arose,  and 
trimmed  their  lamps. 

8  And  the  foolish  said  unto  the  wise. 
Give  us  of  y»ur  oil ;  for  our  lamps  are

it  had  been  good  for  that  man  if  he  had 
not  been  born. 

25  "  Then  Judas,  which  betrayed  him, 
ansvvtred,  and  said,  M.ister,  is  it  I  ?  He 
said  unto  him,  Thou  iiast  said.

it,  and  gave  it  to  the  discii)les,  and  suid, 
Take,  eat ;  this  is  my  body. 

27  P  And  he  took  the  cup,  and  gave 
thanks,  and  gave  it  to  tliem,  saying, 
Drink  ye  all  of  it : 

28  q  For  this  is  my  blood  of  the  new 
testament,  which  is  shad  for  many  for 
the  remission  of  sins.

30  »  And  .vhen  tliey  had  sung  an 
hymn,  they  went  out  into  tlie  mount  of

ye  shall  be  offended  because  of  me  thi'- 
night:  for  it  is  wruten,  I  will  smite  the 
Shepherd,  and  the  sheep  of  the  flock 
shall  be  scattered  abroad. 

32  "  But  after  I  am  risen  again  I  will 
go  before  you  into  Galiiee. 

33  "  Peter  ans'icrcd  and  said  unto 
him.  Though  all  wien  sliall  be  offended 
because  of  thee,  yet  will  I  never  be  of- 
fended. 

34  y  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Verily  I  say 
unto  thee.  That  this  night,  before  the 
cock  crow,  thou  shalt  deny  me  tiirice. 

35  Peter  said  unto  him,  Though  I 
should  die  with  thee,  yet  will  I  not  de- 
ny thee.  Likewise  also  said  all  the  dis- 
ciples. 

36  \  ^  Then  cometii  Jesus  with  them 
unto  a  place  called  Gethsemane,  and 
saith  unto  the  disciples,  Sit  ye  here, 
while  I  go  and  pray  yonder. 

37  "  And  he  took  with  him  Peter  and 
the  two  sons  of  Zebedce,  and  began  to 
be  sorrowful  and  very  heavy. 

38  ^  Then  saith  tic  unto  them,  My 
soul  is  exceeding  sorrowful,  even  unto 
death:  tarry  ye  here,  and  watch  with 
me. 

39  <=  And  he  went  a  little  farther,  and 
fell  on  his  face,  and  prayed,  saying,  O 
my  Father,  if  it  be  possible,  let  this  cup 
pass  from  me  :  nevertheless,  not  as  I 
will,  but  as  thou  viilt. 

40  And  he  cometh  unto  the  disciples, 
and  findeth  them  asleep,  and  saith  unto 
Peter,  What !  could  ye  not  watch  with 
me  one  hour  ? 

41  Watch  and  pray,  that  ye  enter  not 
into  temptation  :  llie  spirit  indeed  is 
w  illing,  but  the  Hesh  is  weak. 

42  He  went  away  again  the  second 
time,  and  prayed,  saying,  O  my  Father, 
if  tliis  cup  may  not  pass  away  from  me, 
except  I  drink  it,  thy  will  be  done. 

43  And  he  came  and  found  them 
asleep  again :  for  their  eyes  v.ere  heavy. 


44  And  he  left  them,  and  went  away     Anno 
again,  and  prayed  the  third  time,  saying       33^^^ 
the  same  words.  LOi"^ 

45  Then  comelh  he  to  his  disciples,

all  they  that  take  the  sword  shall  perish  f/'^J^'**

56  1  But  all  this  was  done,  that  the  Acts  17,

58  But  Peter  followed  him  afar  off,  12,24. 
unto  the  high  priest's  palace,  and  went 

in,  and  sat  with  the  servants  to  see  the 
end. 

59  n  Now,  the  chief  priests,   and  el-  n  Psalms

unto  the  women.  Fear  not  ye  :  for  I 
know  that  ye  seek  Jesus,  which  was

water;  but  he  shall  bap»ize  you  wi;h 
the  Holy  Ghost. 

9  ^  '  And  it  came  to  pass  in   those 
days,  that  Jesus  came  from  Nazareih  [ 
of  Galdee,  and  was  baptized  of  John  in 
Jordan. 

10  And  straightway,  coming  up  out 
of  the  water,  he  saw'the  heavens  open- 
ed, and  the  Spirit,  hke  a  dove,  descend 
ing  upon  him. 

11  k  And  there  came  a  voice  from 
lieaven,  saying.  Thou  art.  nny  beloved 
Son,  in  whonn  I  am  well  pleased. 

12  '  And  immediately  the  spirit  driv- 
eth  him  into  the  wilderness. 

13  And  he  was  there  in  the  wilder- 
ness forty  days  tempted  of  Satan  ;  and 
was  with  the  wild  beasts  :  and  the  an- 
gels ministered  unto  him. 

14  ^  m  Now,  after  that  John  was  put 
in  prison,  Jesus  came  into  Gahlee, 
nreacliing  the  gospel  of  the  kingdom 
of  God, 

15  n  A:id  saying.  The  time  is  fulfilled, 
and  the  kingdom  of  God  is  at  liand  :  re- 
j/ent  ye,  iind  believe  the  gospel. 

16  ^  "  Noiv  as  he  walked  by  the  sea  of 
Galilee,  he  saw  Simon,  and  Andrew 
his  brother,  casting  a  net  into  the  sea  ; 
(for  they  were  fishers  :) 

17  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Come 
ye  after  me,  and  I  will  make  you  to  be- 
come fishers  of  men. 

18  P  And  straightway  they  forsook 
their  nets,  and  followed  him. 

19  Aid  when  he  had  gone  a  little 
farther  thence,  he  saw  James,  the  son 
of  Zebedee,  and  John  his  brother,  who 
also  were  in  the  ship  mending  their  nets 

20  And  straightway  he  called  them  : 
and  they  left  their  father  Zebedee  in  the 
ship  with  the  hired  servants,  and  went 
after  him. 

21  "3  And  they  went  into  Capernaum ; 
and  straightway  on  the  sabbath-day  l.e 
entered  into  the  synagogue,  and  taught. 

22  ^  And  they  were  astonished  at  his 
doctrine  :  for  he  taught  them  as  one  that 
liad  authority,  and  not  as  the  scribes. 

23  %  5  And  there  was  in  their  syna- 
gogue a  man  with  an  unclean  spirit : 
and  he  cried  out, 

24  ■  Saying,  Let  us  alone  ;  what  have 
we  to  do  with  thee,  thou  Jesus  of  Na- 
zareth !  art  thou  come  to  destroy  us  : 
I  know  thee  who  thou  art,  the  holy  One 
of  God. 

25  »  And  Jesus  rebuked  him,  saying, 
H  jld  thy  peace,  and  come  out  of  him. 

26  And  when  the  unclean  spirit  had 
torn  him,  and  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
he  came  out  of  him. 

27  And  they  were  all  amnzed,  inso- 
much that  they  questioned  among  them- 
selves, saying.  What  thing  is  this  ?  what

31  And  he  came  and  took  her  by  the 
I'.ind,  and  lifted  her  up  ;  ard  immediate-

nnto  them.

35  ^  And  in  the  morning,  rising  up  a  a  Luke

and  departed  into  a  solitary  place,  and 
tl  ere  prayed. 

36  And  Simon,  and  they  that  were 
with  him,  followed  after  him. 

37  And,  when  they  !.ad  found  him, 
they  said  unto  him,  All  men  seek  for 
thee.

out  devils.  ^ 

40  fl  ^  And  there  came  a  leper  to  liim,  c  Mar. 
beseeching  him,  and  kneeling  down  t.^  |- 2- 
him,  and  saying  unto  him,  If  thou  wilt,  j.  xj. 
thou  canst  make  me  clean. 

41  And  Jesus,  moved  v.ith  compas-

him,  andsaith  uiUo  him,  I  will ;  be  thou

42  And,  as  soon  as  he  liad  spoken,  im- 
mediately the  leprosy  departed  from 
him,  ar.d  he  was  cleansed.

forthwith  sent  him  away  ;

20  1  And  he  said,  That  which  Com-

went  into  the  borders  of  Tyre  and  Si-

would  have  no  man  know  it  .■  but  he 
coukl  not  be  hid.

sought him  that  he  would  cast  forth  the 
devil  out  of  her  daughter. 

27  °  But  Jesus  said  unto  her,  Let  the 
children  first  be  filled ;  for  it  is  not  meet 
to  take  the  cliiUlren's  bread,  and  to  cast 
it  unto  the  dogs. 

28  And  she  answered,  and  said  unto 
him,  Yes,  Lord ;  yet  the  dugs  under  the 
table  eat  of  the  children's  crumbs. 

29  And  he  said  unto  her,  For  this  say- 
ing- go  thy  way  ;  the  devil  is  gone  out  of 
thy  daughter. 

30  And  when  she  was  come  to  her

17  '  And  one  ot'tlie  mnUitucle  answer- 
ed and  said,  Master,  I  iiave  broui^ht 
imto  tliee  my  son,  which  halh  a  dumb 
spirit : 

18  And  wheresoever  he  taketh  him 
he  tearetli  liim  ;  and  he  foamelh,  and 
g-i'tishctli  witli  Iiis  teeth,  and  pinetii 
av.  iiy  :  and  I  spake  to  thy  disciples  that 
they  should  cast  him  out ;  and  they 
coiild  not. 

19  He  answereth  liim,  and  sailh,  O 
faithless  generation  !  liow  long'  shall  I 
be  ui:h  you?  Imw  long  shall  I  suirer 
you  ?  Briiig  iiim  unto  me. 

20  I"  And  they  brought  him  unto  him  : 
anil,  when  he  saw  him,  straightway  the 
spirit  tare  him,  and  he  fell  on  the  ground, 
and  wallowed  fdauung. 

21  And  he  a'^ked  his  father.  How  long 
is  it  ago  since  this  came  unto  him  ?  And 
he  said.  Of  a  child. 

22  And  oit-times  it  halh  cast  him  in- 
to the  fire,  and  into  the  waters,  to  de- 
stroy liim  :  but  if  thou  canst  do  ariv 
tiling,  have  compassion  on  us,  and  help 


23  "  Jesus  said  unto  liim,  If  thou 
canst  believe,  all  things  a/-e  possible  to 
ijim  tliat  believeth. 

24  And  straigiitway  the  father  of  the 
child  cried  out,  and  said  with  tears, 
Lord,  1  believe ;  help  thou  mine  unbe- 
lief. 

25  o  When  Jesus  saw  that  the  peoplr 
canie  running  together  he  rebuked  the 
foul  spirit,  saying  unto  him,  I'hoii  dumb 
and  deaf  .spirit,  I  charge  thee,  come 
out  of  him,  and  enter  no  more  into 
him. 

26  And  the  spirit  cried  and  rent  him 
snre,  and  came  out  of  him :  and  he  w  as 
as  one  dead ;  insomuch  that  many  said. 
He  is  dead. 

27  But  Jesus  took  him  by  the  hand, 
and  hited  him  up,  and  he  arose. 

28?  And,  when  he  was  come  into  the 
house  his  disciples  asked  him  privately, 
Why  could  not  we  cast  him  out  ? 
.  29  And  lie  said  unto  them,  This  kind 
can  come  forih  by  nothing  but  by  prayer 
and  fasting. 

30  ^[  4  And  they  departed  thence,  and 
•^4  passed  through  Galilee;    and  he  would 

n  it  tliat  any  man  should  know  it. 

31  For  he  taught  iiis  disciples,  and 
siiid  unto  them.  The  Son  of  man  is  de- 
livered into  the  hands  of  men,  and  they 
shall  kill  him  ;  and  after  that  he  is  killed 
he  .sh:ill  rise  the  third  duy. 

32  Eu'  they  understood  not  that  say- 
ing, and  were  afri'.id  to  ask  him. 

33  ^1  '  And  he  came  to  Capf-rnaum  :

about  his  naked  body ,-  and  t!ie  young 
men  laid  hold  on  him. 

52  And  he  left  the  linen  cloth,  and 
fled  from  them  naked. 

5^  fl  f  And  they  led  Jesus  away  to  the 
high  priest:  and  with  him  were  assem- 
bled all  the  chief  priests,  and  the  elders, 
and  the  scribes. 

54  And  Peter  followed  him  afar  off, 
even  into  the  palace  of  the  high  priest  : 
and  he  sat  with  the  servants,  and  warm- 
ed himself  at  the  fire. 

55  g  And  the  chief  priests  and  all  the 
council  sought  for  witness  against  Je- 
sus to  put  him  to  death;  and  found 
none  : 

56  For  many  bare  false  witness  against 
him;  but  tlieir  witness  agreed  not  to- 
gether. 

57  And  there  arose  certain,  and  bare 
false  witness  against  him,  saying, 

58  h  We  heard  him  say,  I  will  destroy 
this  temple  that  is  made  with  hands, 
and  within  three  days  I  will  build  ano- 
ther made  without  hands. 

59  But  neither  so  did  their  witness 
agree  together. 

60  >  And  the  high  priest  stood  up  in 
the  midst,  and  asked  Jesus,  saying,  An- 
swerest  thou  nothing?  what  is  it  "which 
these  witness  against  thee  ? 

61  ^  But  he  held  his  peace,  and  an- 
swered nothing.  Again  the  high  priest 
asked  him,  and  said  unto  him.  Art  thou 
the  Christ  the  Son  of  the  Blessed? 

62  ■  And  Jesus  said,  I  am :  and  ye 
shall  see  the  Son  of  man  sitting  on  the 
right  hand  of  power,  and  coming  in  the 
clouds  of  heaven. 

63  Then  the  high  priest  rent  his 
clothes,  and  saith.  What  need  we  any 
further  witnesses? 

64  Ye  have  heard  the  blasphemy  : 
^\  hat  think  ye  ?  And  they  all  condemn- 
ed him  to  be  guilty  of  death. 

65  '"  And  some  began  to  spit  on  him, 
and  to  cover  his  face  and  to  buffet  him, 
and  to  say  unto  him,  Prophesy  :  and  the 
servants  did  strike  him  with  the  palms 
of  their  hands. 

66  11"  And,  as  Peter  was  beneath  in 
the  palace,  there  cometh  one  of  the 
m.aids  of  tlie  high  priest; 

67  And,  v.  hen  siie  saw  Peter  warm- 
ing himself,  she  looked  upon  him,  and 
said,  And  thou  also  wast  with  Jesus  of 
Nazareth. 

68  But  he  denied,  saying,  I  know  not, 
neither  understand  I  what  thou  sayest. 
And  he  went  out  into  the  porch  ;  and 
the  cock  crew. 

69  o  And  a  maid  saw  him  again,  and 
began  to  say  to  them  that  stood  by, 
This  is  one  of  them. 

70  And  he  denied  it  again.  And  a 
little  afier  they  that  stood  by  said  again 
t)  Peter,  Surely  thou  art  one  of  them  : 
for  tliou  art  a  Galilean,  and  thy  speech 
agreeth  thereto. 

71  But  he  began  to  curse  and  to  swear  1

1  jFesus  is  brought  bound  and  accused  be- 
fore  Pilate:  17  he  is  croivned  tuith 
thorns,    27  and  crucified,  &c. 

a  A  ND  straightway  in  the  morning 
the  chief  priests  held  a  consultation 
with  the  eldars  and  scribes,  and  the 
whole  council,  and  bound  Jesus,  and 
carried  him  awav,  and  delivered  him  to 
Pilate. 

2  ''  And  Pilate  asked  him.  Art  Ihou 
the  king  of  the  Jews  ?  And  he  answering, 
said  unto  him,  Thou  sayest  it. 

3  And  the  chief  priests  accused  him 
of  many  th'uigs;  but  he  answered  no- 
thing. 

4  "^  And  Pilate  asked  him  again,  say- 
ing, Answerest  thou  nothing  ?  behold, 
how  many  things  they  witness  against 
thee. 

5  But  Jesus  yet  answered  nothing ;  so 
that  Pilate  marvelled. 

6  U  d  Now  at  that  feast  he  released 
unto  them  one  pi-isoner,  whomsoever 
they  desired. 

7  =  And  there  was  one  named  Barab- 
bas,  which  lay  bound  with  them  that 
had  made  insurrection  with  him,  who 
had  committed  murder  in  the  insurrec- 
tion. 

8  And  the  multitude  crying  aloud,  be- 
gan to  desire  him  to  do  as  he  had  ever 
done  unto  them. 

9  But  Pilate  answered  them,  saying. 
Will  ye  that  I  release  unto  you  the 
King  of  the  Jews? 

10  (For  he  knew  that  the  chief  priests 
had  delivered  him  for  envy.) 

11  *^  But  the  chief  priests  moved  the 
people  that  he  should  rather  release  Ba- 
rabbas  unto  them. 

12  And  Pilate  answered  and  said  a- 
gain  unto  them.  What  will  ye  then  that 
I  shall  do  unto  liini  whom  }e  call  the 
King  of  the  Jews  ? 

13  And  they  cried  out  again.  Crucify 
him. 

14  Then  Pilate  said  unto  them,  Why  ? 
what  evil  hatii  he  done  ?  And  they  cried 
out  the  more  exceedingly.  Crucify 
him. 

15  g  And  so  Pilate,  willing  to  con- 
tent the  people,  released  Barabbas  unto 
Lhem,  and  delivered  Jesus,  u  hen  he  had 
scourged  him  to  be  crucified 

16  h  And  the  soldiers  led  him  away 
into  the  hall  called  Pretorium  ;  imd  ihey 
called  together  tl)e\^ho!e  band. 

17  And  'vhey  clothid  l.im  with  pur-

18  And  beG:an  to  salute  him,  Hail, 
King  of  the  Jews  ! 

19  ■  Ar.d  'hey  smote  him  on  the  head 
with  a  reed,  and  did  spit  upon  him, 
and  bowing  their  knees,  worshipped 
him. 

20  And  «  hen  they  had  mocked  him, 
they  took  ofi"  the  purple  from  him,  and 
put  liis  ow  n  clothes  on  him,  and  led  him 
out  to  crucify  him. 

21  k  And  they  compel  one  Simon  a 
Cyieiiian,  who  passed  bj%  coming  out  of 
the  country,  the  father  of  Alexander 
and  Rufus,  to  bear  his  cross. 

22  '  And  they  bring  liim  unto  the 
place  Golgotha,  wliich  is,  being  inter- 
preted, The  place  of  a  scull. 

23  '"  And  they  gave  inm  to  drink  wine 
mingled  with  myrrh :  but  he  received 
/mot. 

24  "  ^  And,  when  they  had  crucified 
him,  tliey  parted  his  garments,  casting 
lots  upon  them,  what  every  man  should 
take. 

25  °  And  it  was  the  third  hour ;  and 
they  crucified  him. 

26  P  And  the  superscription  of  his  ac- 
cusation was  written  over,  THE  KING 
OF  THE  JEWS. 

27  ^  And  with  him  they  crucify  two 
tliieves ;  llie  one  on  his  right  band  and 
the  other  on  his  left. 

28  '  And  the  scripture  was  fulfilled, 
whicli  saith,  And  he  was  numbered  with 
the  transgressors. 

29  ^f  ^  And  they  that  passed  by  railed 
on  him,  wagging  their  heads,  and  say- 
ing. All,  thou  that  destroyest  the  tem- 
ple, and  buildest  it  in  three  days, 

30  Save  thyself,  and  come  down  from 
the  cross. 

31  Likewise  also  the  chief  priests, 
mocking,  said  among  themselves,  with 
the  scribes.  He  saved  others ;  himself 
he  cannot  save. 

32  Let  Christ  the  King  of  Israel  de- 
scend now  from  the  cross,  that  we  may 
see  and  believe.  And  they  that  were 
crucified  with  him  reviled  him. 

33  1[  '  And  when  the  sixth  hour  was 
come,  tiiere  was  darkness  over  the 
whole  land  until  the  ninth  hour. 

34  »  And  at  the  ninth  hour  Jesus  cri- 
ed with  a  loud  voice,  saying,  Eloi,  E!oi, 
lama  sabachlhani  ?  which  is,  being  in-

cried  out,  and  gave  up  the  ghost,  he 
said.  Truly  this  man  was  the  Son  of

kingdom  of  God,  came  and  went  in  bold-

Jesus. 

44  And  Pilate  marvelled  if  he  were 
already  dead  :  and  calling  unto  him  the 
centurion,  he  asked  him  whether  he 
had  been  any  while  dead. 

45  And,  when  he  knew  it  of  the  cen- 
turion, he  gave  the  body  to  Joseph. 

46  '  And  he  bought  fine  linen,  and 
took  him  down,  and  wrapped  him  in  the 
linen,  and  laid  him  in  a  sepulchri 
which  was  hewn  out  of  a  rock,  and  roll-

claration of  those  things  which  are  most 
surely  believed  among  us, 

2  *>  Even  as  they  delivered  them  unto 
us,  which  from  the  beginning  were  eye- 
witnesses, and  minislersof  the  word  ;

tainty of  those  things  wherein  thou  hast 
been  instructed. 

5^  ^  THERE  was,  in  the  days  of 
Herod  the  king  of  Judea,  a  certain  priest 
named  Zacharias,  of  the  course  of  A- 
bia:  and  his  wife  v:as  of  the  daughters 
of  Aaron,  and  her  name  ijas  Elisabeth. 

6  «  And  they  were  both  righteous  be- 
fore God,  walking  in  all  the  command- 
ments and  ordinances  of  the  Lord  blame- 
less. 

7  f  A*l  they  had  no  child,  because 
that  Elisabeth  was  barren,  and  they 
both  were  /iokj  well  stricken  in  years. 

/Gen.  18, 11.  and  24.1.  Joshua  13. 1.  1  Kings  1. 1. 


8  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  while  he 
executed  the  priest's  office  before  God 
in  the  order  of  his  course, 

9  g  According  to  the  custom  of  the 
priest's  office,  his  lot  was  to  burn  in- 
cense when  he  went  into  the  temple  of 
the  Lord. 

10  And  the  whole  multitude  of  tlie 
people  were  praying  without  at  the  time 
of  incense. 

11  •>  And  there  appeared  unto  him  an 
angel  of  the  Lord  standing  on  the  right 
side  of  the  altar  of  incense. 

12  '  And  when  Zacharias  saw  hiTn  he 
was  troubled,  and  fear  fell  upon  him. 

13  ^  But  the  angel  said  unto  him. 
Fear  not,  Zacharias  :  for  thy  prayer  is 
heaid :  and  thy  wife  Elisabeth  shall 
bear  thee  a  son,  and  thou  shalt  call  his 
name  John. 

14  '  And  thou  shalt  have  joy  and 
gladness  ;  and  many  shall  rejoice  at  his 
birth.

of  the  Lord,  and  shall  drink  neither 
wine  nor  strong  drink ;  and  he  shall  be 
filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  even  from 
his  mother's  womb.

remained  speechless. 

23  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  soon 
as  the  days  of  his  ministration  were  ac-

John,  the  son  of  Zacbarias,  in  the  wil- 
derness. 

3  ''And  he  came  into  all  the  country 
about  Jordan,  preaching  the  baptism  of 
repentance  for  the  remission  of  sins  ; 

4  <:  As  it  is  written  in  the  book  of  the 
words  of  Esaias  the  prophet,  saying,  The 
voice  of  one  crying  in  the  wilderness, 
Prepare  ye  the  way  of  the  Lord,  make 
his  paths  straight. 

5  Every  valley  shall  be  filled,  and 
every  mountain  and  hill  shall  be  brought 
low ;  and  the  crooked  shall  be  made 
straight,  and  the  rough  ways  shall  be 
made  smooth  ; 

6  ''  And  all  flesh  shall  see  the  salva- 
tion of  God. 

7  =  Then  said  he  to  the  multitude  that 
came  forth  to  be  baplized  of  him,  O  ge- 
neration of  vipers  !  who  hath  warned 
you  to  flee  from  the  wrath  to  come  ! 

8  f  Bring  forth,  therefore,  fruits  wor- 
thy of  repentance  ;  and  begin  not  to  say 
within  yourselves.  We  have  Abraham 
to  our  father :  for  I  say  unto  you,  that 
God  is  able  of  these  stones  to  raise  up 
children  unto  Abraham. 

9  g  And  now  also  the  axe  is  laid  unto 
the  root  of  the  trees  ;  every  tree,  there- 
fore, which  bringeth  not  forth  good  fruit 
is  hewn  down,  and  cast  into  the  fire. 

10  ''  And  the  people  asked  him,  say- 
ing, What  shall  we  do  then  ? 

11  '  He  answereth,  and  saith  unto 
them.  He  that  hath  two  coats,  let  him 
impart  to  him  that  haih  none  ;  and  he 
that  hath  meat,  let  him  do  Ukewise. 

12  ''Then  came  also  publicans  to  be 
baplized,  and  said  unto  hi.ai,  Master, 
what  shall  we  do  ? 

13  '  And  he  said  unto  them,  Exact  no 
more  than  that  which  is  appointed  you. 

14  °'  And  the  soldiers  likewise  de- 
manded of  him,  saying,  And  what  shall 
we  do  ;  And  he  said  unto  them.  Do  vio- 
lence to  no  man,  neither  accuse  a/!;' false- 
ly ;  and  be  content  with  your  wages. 

15  li  And  as  the  people  were  in  ex- 
pectation, and  all  men  mused  in  their 
hearts  of  John,  whether  he  were  the 
Christ  or  not ; 

16  n  John  answered,  saying  unto  them 
all,  I  indeed  baptize  you  with  water ; 
but  one  mightier  than  I  cometh,  the 
latchet  of  whose  shoes  I  am  not  worthy 
to  unloose  :  he  shall  baptize  you  with 
the  Holy  Ghost,  and  with  fire  : 

17  °  \Vhose  fan  is  in  his  hand,  and  he 
will  thoroughly  purge  his  floor,  and  will 
gaiher  the  wheat  into  his  garner ;  but 
tiie  chaft"  he  will  burn  with  fire  un- 
quenchable. 

18  And  msny  other  things,  in  Isis  ex- 
hortation, preached  be  untia  the  people. 

19  ^1  p  But  Herod  the  tetrarch,  being 
reproved  by  him  for  Herodius  hisbrotli- 
er  Philip's  wife;  and  for  all  the  evils 
which  Herud  had  done,

1  Christ  is  tempted  .-13  he,  overcoming 

the  devil,     14  bcgineth  to  preach  .-16 

they  at  Nazareth  admire  him. 

=•  AND  Jesus,  being  full  of  the  Holy 

Ghost,  returned  from  Jordan,  and  was 

led  by  the  spirit  into  the  wilderness, 

2  ''  Being  forty  days  tempted  of  the 
devil.  And  in  those  days  he  did  cat 
nothing ;  and,  when  tliey  were  ended, 
he  afterward  hungered. 

3  '^  And  the  devil  said  unto  iiim.  If 
thou  be  the  Son  of  God,  command 
this  stone  that  it  be  made  bread. 

4  <■  And  Jesus  answered  him,  saying. 
It  is  written,  That  man  shall  not  live  by 
bread  alone,  but  by  every  v.  ord  of  God. 

5  e  And  the  devil,  taking  him  up  into 
an  high  mountain,  shewed  unto  him  all 
the  kingdoms  of  the  world  in  a  moment 
of  time. 

6  And  the  devil  said  unto  him,  All 
this  power  will  I  give  thee,  and  the  glo- 
ry  of  them  :  for  that  is  delivered  unto 
me ;  and  to  whomsoever  I  w'dl  I  give 
it. 

7  If  thou,  therefore,  wilt  worship  me, 
all  shall  be  thine. 

8  f  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  un- 
to him,  Get  thee  behind  me,  Satan  :  for 
it  is  written.  Thou  shall  worship  the 
Lord  thy  God,  and  him  only  shall  thou 
serve. 

9  B  And  he  brought  him  to  Jerusalem, 
and  set  him  on  a  pinnacle  of  the  temple, 
and  said  unto  bim,  If  thou  be  the  Son 
of  God,  cast  thyself  down  fi-om  hence  : 

10  ^  For  it  is  written,  He  shall  give 
his  angels  charge  over  thee,  to  keep 
thee; 

11  And  in  their  hands  they  shall  bear 
thee  up,  lest  at  any  time  thou  dash  thy 
foot  against  a  stone. 

12  '  And  Jesus,  answering,  said  unto 
him.  It  is  said.  Thou  shall  not  tempt 
the  Lord  thy  God. 

13  "^  And  when  the  devil  had  ended 
all  the  temptation  he  departed  from  him 
for  a  season. 

14  ^  1  And  Jesus  returned  in  the  pow- 
er of  the  Spirit  into  Gahlce  :  and  there 
went  out  a  fame  of  him  tiu'ough  all  the 
region  round  about. 

15  And  he  taught  in  their  synagogues, 
beinR  glorified  of  all. 

16  *i\  •"  And  he  came  to  Nazareth, 
where  he  had  been  brought  up  :  and, 
as  his  custom  w.is,  he  went  into  the  sy- 
nagogue on  the  sabbath  day,  and  st(jod 
up  for  to  read. 

17  Ami  there  was  delivered  tmto  liim 
ihe  book  <if  the  i>ro]jlie!  Esaias  ;  and, 
\>  hon  he  had  opened  the  book  he  tbund

sent  me  to  heal  the  broicen-hearted,  to  v^v^ 
preach  deliverance  to  the  captives,  and 
recovering  of  sight  to  the  blind  ;  to  set 
at  liberty  them  that  are  bruised  ; 

19  °  To  preach  the  acceptable  year  of  o  Lev.     . 
the  Lord.  '  25.20. 

20  And  he  closed  the  book,  and  he 
gave  it  again  to  the  minister,  and  sat 
down.  And  the  eyes  of  all  them  that 
vvere  in  the  synagogue  were  fastened  on 
him. 

21  And  he  began  to  say  unto  them. 
This  day  is  this  scripture  fulfilled  in 
your  ears. 

22  P  And  all  bare  him  witness,  and  p  Psalm 
wondered  at  the  gracious  words  which  ss.  2. 
proceeded  out  of  his  mouth.    And  the\  fo'!T2*'^''* 
said,  Is  not  this  Joseph's  son  I  Isaiah

you.  No  prophet  is  accepted  in  his  own  ^  ^3*  ^^g 
country.  13-  54. 

25  s  But  I  tell  you  of  a  truth.  Many  ^3^'^*^- 
widows  were  in  Israel  in  the  days   of  Mark 
Elias,    when  the  heaven    was  shut  up  6.  4. 
three  years  and  six  months,  when  great  4°^" 
famine  was  throughout  all  the  land  ;        s  1  Kings 

26  But  unto  none  of  them  was  EUas  J^-  ^-  ^^^ 
sent,  save  unto  Sarepta,  a  city  of  Sidon.  jaines 
unto  a  woman  that  rcas  a  widow.  5. 17. 

27  f  And  many  lepers  were  in  Israel  /  2  Kings 
in  the  time  of  Ehseus  the  prophet ;  and  *•  ^■** 
none  of  them  v.as  cleansed,  saving  Naa- 

roan  the  Syrian. 

28  And  all  they  in  the  synagogue, 
when  they  heard  these  things,  were  fill- 
ed with  wrath, 

29  And  rose  up,  and  thrust  him  out  of 
the  city,  and  led  him  unto  the  brew  of 
the  hill,  whereon  their  city  was  built, 
that  they  might  cast  him  down  headiong. 

30  "  But  he  passing  through  the  midst  u  John 
of  Ihem,  went  his  way,  io.*39?'"* 

31  ''  And  came  down  to  Capernaum,  x  Mat. 
a  city  of  Galilee,  and  taught  them  on  4.  i3.

Gennesaret,

lake  :  but  the  fishermen  were  gone  out 
of  them,  and  were  washing  their  oets.

which  was  Simon's,  and  prayed  him  that 
he  would  thrust  out  a  httle  from  the 
land.  And  he  sat  down,  and  taught  the 
people  out  of  the  ship. 

4  <=  Now,  when  he  had  left  speaking, 
he  said  unto  Simon,  Launch  out  into 
the  deep,  and  let  down  your  nets  for  a 
draught. 

5  And  Simon,  answering,  said  unto 
him,  Master,  \se  have  toiled  all  the 
night,  and  have  taken  nothing  :  never- 
theless at  thy  word  I  will  let  down  the 
net. 

6  And  when  they  had  this  done,  they 
inclosed  a  great  multitude  of  hshes ;  and 
their  net  brake.

9  Wiien  Jesus  Iieard  these  thincfs  he 
marvelled  at  him,  and  turned  him  about, 
and  said  unto  the  jjeople  that  f  >ll(nved 
him,  I  say  unto  you,  I  have  not  found 
so  great  faith,  no,  not  in  Israel. 

10  And  they  that  were  sent,  returning 
to  the  house,  fovmd  the  servant  whole

11  ^  And  it  came  to  pass,  the  day  af- 
ter, that  lie  went  into  a  city  called  Nain  ; 
and  n:any  ofiiis  disciples  went  with  him, 
and  much  people. 

12  Now,  when  he  came  nigh  to  the 
gate  of  tiie  city,  behold,  there  was  a 
dead  man  carried  out,  the  only  son  of 
his  mother,  and  slie  was  a  widow  :  and 
mucli  p^-onle  of  the  city  was  with  her. 

13  And  when  the  Lord  saw  her  he 
had  compassion  on  her,  and  said  unto 
her,  AVeep  not. 

14  ''  And  lie  came  and  touched  the 
bier :  and  they  that  bare  him  stood  still. 
And  he  said,  Young  man,  I  say  unto 
thee.  Arise. 

15  And  he  that  was  dead  sat  up,  and 
beg.in  to  s])eak.  And  he  delivered  him 
to  his  mother. 

16  <:  And  there  came  a  fear  on  all: 
and  tliey  glorified  God,  saying.  That  a 
great  prophet  is  risen  up  among  us  ; 
and.  That  God  hath  visited  his  people. 

17  And  this  rumour  of  him  went  forth 
throughcutall  Judea,  andthroughcutall 
the  region  round  about. 

18  d  And  the  disciples  of  John  shew- 
ed him  of  all  these  things. 

19  ^  «  And  John  calling  unto  him  two 
of  his  disciples,  sent  tliem  to  Jesus,  say- 
ing, Ai't  thou  he  that  should  come  ?  or 
look  we  lor  another  ? 

20  When  the  men  were  come  unto 
bim,they  said,  John  Baptist  hath  sentus 
unto  thee,  saying,  Art  thou  he  that 
should  come  ?  Or  look  we  for  ano- 
ther ? 

21  A.nd  in  th.at  same  hour  he  cured 
mr»ny  of  their  infirmities  and  plagues, 
and  of  evil  .spirits  :  and  unto  many  that 
fjere  blind  he  p,'ave  sight. 

22  f  Then  Jesus,  answering,  said  un- 
10  tlieni,  Go  yoiu-  way,  and  tell  John

24  And  they  came  to  him,  and  awoke

Then  he  arose,  and  rebiiK.-d  \\\t  wind, 
and  the  raging  of  the  water :  and  they 
ceased,  and  theiv  was  a  calm. 

25  °  And  he  said  unto  them,  Where 
is  your  faith  ?  And  they,   being  afraid, 

ts.i.anA  wondered,  saying  one  to  another,  Wiiat 
89.  y.  and  manner  of  man  is  this  !  for  he  commnnd- 
*■     eth  even  the  winds  and  water,  and  they 
obey  him. 

26^  p  And  they  arrived  at  tlie  coun- 
try of  the  Gadarenes,  which  is  over  a- 
gainst  Galilee. 

27  And  ulien  he  went  forth  to  land, 
there  met  him  out  of  the  city  a  certam 
man  which  had  devils  long  time,  and 
ware  no  clothes,  neither  abode  in  any 
house,  but  in  the  tombs. 

28  9  When  he  saw  Jesus  he  cried  out, 
aii.i  fell  down  before  him,  and  with  a 
loud  voice  said,  Whai  have  1  to  do  with 
thee,  Jesu  ■,  thou  Son  of  God  most  high  ? 
I  beseech  thee  torment  me  not. 

29  (For  he  had  commanded  the  un- 
clean spirit  to  come  out  of  the  man.  For 
oftentimes  it  had  caug'ht  him  ;  and  he 
was  kept  bound  with  cliains,  and  in  fet- 
ters ;  and  he  brake  the  bands,  and  was 
driven  of  the  devil  into  the  wilderness.) 

30  And  Jesus  asked  him,  saying.  What 
is  thy  name  ?  Atid  he  said,  |j  Legion  : 
because  many  devils  were  entered  into 
him. 

31  And  they  besought  him  that  he 
would  not  command  them  to  go  out  into 
the  deep. 

32  And  there  was  there  an  herd  of 
many  swine  feeding  on  the  mountain  : 
and  they  besought  him  that  he  would 
suffer  them  to  enter  into  them.  And  he 
suffered  them. 

■J  Then  went  the  devils  out  of  the 
man,  and  entered  into  the  swine  :  and 
the  herd  ran  violently  down  a  steep  place 
into  the  lake,  and  were  choked. 

34  When  they  that  fed  them  saw  what 
was  done  they  fled,  and  went  and  told  it 
in  the  city,  and  in  the  country. 

o5  Then  tliey  went  out  to  see  what 
was  done  ;  and  came  to  Jesus  and  found 
the  man,  out  of  whom  the  devils  were 
departed,  silting  at  the  feet  of  Jesus, 
clotiiedjand  in  his  right  mind  :  and  they 
were  afraid. 

36  They  also  which  saw  it  told  them 
by  what  means  he  that  was  possessed  of 
the  dfvils  was  healed. 

37  H  '  Then  the  whole  multitude  of 
the  country  of  tlie  Gadarenes  round 
about  besought  him  to  depart  froni 
them  :  for  they  were  taken  with  greai 
fear.  And  he  went  up  into  the  ship, 
and  returned  back  again. 

38  s  Now  the  man,  out  of  whom  tiK 
devils  were  departed,  besought  him  th;i^ 
he  might  be  with  him  :  but  Jesus  sens 
him  away,  saying",

40  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when 
Jesus  was  returned,  the  people  gladly 
received  him  :  for  they  were  all  waiting 
for  him. 

41  ^ '  Anrt,  behold,  there  came  a  man  'Mat.

come  into  his  house  : 

42  For  lie  had  :<ne  only  daughter,  a-

45  And  Jesus  said.  Who  to'.clfpd  me  ] 
When  all  denied,  Peter,  and  they  that 
were  with  him,  said.  Master,  the  mul- 
titude throng  thee,  and  press  thee,  and 
sayest  thou.  Who  touched  me  ? 

46  And  Jesus  said.  Somebody  hath 
touched  me  :  for  I  perceive  that  virtue 
is  gone  out  of  me. 

47  And,  when  the  wom.nn  saw  that  she 
was  not  hid,  she  came  trembling,  and, 
falling  down  before  him,  she  declared 
unto  him,  oefore  all  the  people,  for  what 
cause  she  had  touched  him,  and  how  she 
was  healed  immediately. 

48  And  he  said  unto  her.  Daughter, 
be  of  good  comfort ;  thy  faith  hath  made 
tliee  whole  ;  go  in  peace.) 

49  ^  X  While  he  yet  spake,  there  com-  x  Mark

50  But  when  Jesus  heard  it,  he  an- 
swered him,  saying,  Fear  not :  beUeve 
only,  and  she  shall  be  made  whole. 

51  And  when  he  came  into  the  house 
he  suffered  no  man  to  go  in,  save  Peter,

and  the  mother  of  the  maiden.

he.ir  such  things?  And  he  desired  to  see 
him. 

10  K  '  And  the  apostles,  wlien  they 
were  returned,  told  him  all  that  they 
had  done.  And  he  took  them,  and 
went  aside  privately  into  a  desert  place 
belonging  to  the  city,  called  Bethsaida. 

11  Ai.d  the  peojjle,  when  they  knew 
it,  followed  him:  and  he.  received  them,

get  victuals  :  for  we  are  here  in  a  desert

13  But  he  said  unto  them.  Give  ye 
them  to  eat.  And  they  said.  We  have 
no  more  but  five  loaves  and  two  fishes  ;

when  thine  eye  is  evil,  thy  body  also  is

he  marvelled  that  he  had  not  first  wash- 
ed before  dinner. 

39  "^  And  the  Lord  said  unto  Mm,

things  as  ye  have ;  and,  behold,  all 
things  aie  clean  unto  you. 

42  -  But  woe  unto  you,  Pharisees !  for 
ye  tithe  mint  and  rue,  and  all  manner 
of  herbs,  and  pass  over  judgment  and 
the  love  of  God :  these  ought  ye  to 
have  done,  and  not  to  leave  the  other 
undone. 

43  f  Woe  unto  you,  Pharisees  !  for

cursed.  24  The  strait  gate. 

THERE  were  present  at  that  sea- 
son some  that  told  him  of  the  GaUleans, 
whose  blood  Pilate  had  mingled  with 
their  sacrifices. 

2  And  Jesus,  answering,  said  unto 
them,  Suppose  ye  that  these  Galileans 
were  sinners  above  all  the  Galileans, 
because  they  suffered  such  things  ? 

3  I  tell  you,  Nay  :  but  except  ye  re-

fruit  thereon,  and  found  none. 

7  Then  said  he  unto  the  dresser  of  his 
•    vineyard.  Behold,  these  three   years   I 

come  seeking  fruit  on  this  fig-tree,  and 
find  none  :  cut  it  down,  why  cumbereth 
it  the  ground  ?

10 If  And  he  was  teaching  in  one  of 
the  synagogues  on  the  sabbath. 

11  And,  behold,  tliere  was  a  woman 
which  had  a  spirit  of  infirmity  eighteen 
years,  and  was  bowed  together,  and 
could  in  no  wise  lift  up  herself. 

12  And,  when  Jesus  saw  her,  he  call- 
ed her  to  him,  and  said  unto  her,  Wo- 
man, thou  art  loosed  from  thine  infir- 
mity. 

13  And  he  laid /n"f  bands  on  her  :  and 
immediately  she  was  made  straight,  and 
glorified  God. 

14  '  And  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue  cExod. 
aiswered  with  indignation,  because  tha   ^'  jj*^'*^ 
Jesus  had  healed  on  the  sabbath-day   Lev.  ' 
and  said  unto  the  people,  There  are  six  23.3. 
days  in  which  men  ought  to  work  :  in  5, 13/ 
them,  therefore,  come  and  be  healed,  Ezekiel 
and  not  on  the  sabbath-day.  ^°-  ^^• 

15  ^  The  Lord  then   answered  him,  «'  Exod. 
and    said.    Thou  hypocrite  1    doth    not  ueut. 
each  one  of  jou  on  the  sabbath  loose  his  22. 4. 
ox  or  his  ass  from  the  stall,    and  lead  ^j^j'jj 
him  away  to  watering  ;  Mark 

15  And  ought  not  this  woman,  being  3. 2. 
a  daughter  of  Abraham,   whom  Satan  ^a^f/'s 
hath  b.)und,  lo,  these  eighteen  years,  be  John 
loosed  from  this  bond  on  the  sabbath-  '^-  2^- 
day  ? 

17  And,  when  he  had  said  these 
things,  all  his  adversaries  were  asha- 
med :  and  all  the  people  rejoiced  for 
all  the  glorious  things  that  were  done 
by  him.

shall  I  resemble  it  ?  4.30. 

19  It  is  like  a  grain  of  mustard-seed,

garden ;  and  it  grew,  and  waxed  a  great 
tree  ;  and  the  fowls  of  the  air  lodged  in 
the  branches  of  it. 

20  II  f  And  again  he  said,  Whereunto  /Mat,

took  and  hid  in  three  measures  of  meal,

29  Lest  haply,  after  he  hath  laid  the 
foundation,  and  is  not  able  to  finish 
it,  all  that  behold  it  begin  to  mock 
him, 

30  Saying,  This  man  began  to  build, 
and  was  not  able  to  finish.

war  against  another  king,  sitteth  not 
down  first,  and  consulteth,  whether  he

that  cometh  against  him  with  twenty 
thousand  ! 

32  Or  else,  while  the  other  is  j-et  a 
great  way  off,  he  sendelh  an  ambassage, 
and  dcsireth  conditions  of  peace. 

33  So  likewise,  whosciever  he  be  of 
you  tiiat  forsaketh  not  al!  that  he  hath, 
he  cannot  be  my  disciple.

CHAP.  XV. 

1  The  Pharisees  murmur  at  Christ.  3  The 
parables  of  the  lost  sheep,  and  lost  piece 
of  money,  II  and  of  the  prodigal  son. 
a  THEN  drew  near  unto  him  all 

the  publicans  and  sinners  for  to  hear 

him. 

2  ''  And  the  Pharisees  and  scribes 
murmured,  saying,  This  man  receiveth 
sinners,  and  eateih  with  them. 

3  ^  And  he  spake  this  parable  unto 
them,  saying, 

4  '  What  man  of  you,  having  an  hun 
dred  sheep,  if  he  lose  one  of  them,  doth 
not  leave  the  ninety  and  nine  in  the  wil 
derness,  and  go  after  that  which  is  lost, 
until  he  find  it  ? 

5  And  when  he  hath  found  it,  be  lay 
eth  it  on  his  shoulders,  rejoicing. 

6  'i  And  when  he  cometh  home,  he 
calleth  together  his  friends  and  neisjh- 
bours,  saying  unto  them,  Rt-joice  with 
me  ;  for  1  have  found  my  sheep  which 
was  lost. 

7  ^  I  say  imto  you,  Tliat  hkewise  joy 
shall  be  m  heaven  over  one  sinner  thai 
vejiciiteth,  moro  than  over  ninety  and 


nine  iust  persons,  which  need  no  repetit-     Anjio 

8  ^  Either  v.hat  woman,  having  ten  v./«y-v> 
pic-ces  of  silver,  if  she  lose  one  piece, 

doth  noi  light  a  candle,  and  sweep  the 
house,  and  seek  diligently  till  she  find 
it  ? 

9  And  when  she  hath  found  it  she 
calleth  her  friends  and  lier  neighbours 
together,  saying,  Htjoice  with  me  ; 
for  I  have  found  the  piece  which  I  had 
lost. 

10  Likewise  I  say  unto  you.  There  is 
joy  in  the  presence  of  the  angels  of  God 
over  one  sinner  that  repenteih. 

11  ^  And  he  said,  A  certain  man  had 
two  sons  : 

12  And  the  younger  of  them  said  to 
his  father.  Father,  give  me  the  portion 
of  goods  that  falle'  h  to  me.  And  he  di- 
vided unto  them  his  living. 

13  And,  not  many  days  after,  the 
younger  son  gathered  all  together,  and. 
took  his  journey  into  a  far  country, 
and  thtre  wasted  his  substance  with  ri- 
otous living. 

14  And,  when  he  had  spent  all,  therft 
arose  a  mighty  famine  in  that  land ;  and 
he  began  to  be  in  want. 

15  And  he  went  and  joined  himself 
to  a  citizen  of  that  country  ;  and  he  sent 
bin)  into  his  fiehls  to  feed  swine. 

16  And  he  would  fain  have  filled  his 
belly  with  the  husks  that  the  swine  did 
eat :  and  no  man  gave  unto  him. 

17  And  when  he  came  to  himself  he 
said.  How  many  hired  servants  of  my 
father's  have  bread  enough,  and  to  spare, 
and  I  perish  with  hunger  ! 

181  will  arise,  and  go  to  my  father, 
and  will  say  unto  him,  Father,  I  have 
sinned  against  heaven,  and  before  thee, 

19  And  am  no  more  worthy  to  be 
called  thy  son  :  make  me  as  one  of  thy 
hired  servants. 

20  f  And  he  arose,   and  came  to  his  /Acts 
father.      But  when  he  was  yet  a  great  |;  "j^' 
way  oft"  his  father  saw  him,  and  had  2.  li,  n. 
compassion,  and  ran,   and  fell  on  his 
neck,  and  kissed  him. 

21  And  tne  son  said  unto  him.  Father, 
I  have  sinned  against  heaven,  and  in 
thy  sight,  and  am  no  more  worthy  to  be 
called  thy  son. 

22  But  the  father  said  to  his  servants. 
Bring  forth  the  best  robe,  and  put  it  on 
him  ;  and  put  a  ring  on  his  hand,  and 
shoes  on  his  feet : 

23  And  bring  hither  the  fatted  calf, 
and  kill  it ;  and  let  us  eat  and  be  merry  ; 

24  g  For  this  my  son  was  dead,  and  is  g  ver.  32, 
alive  aerain ;    he  was  lost,  and  is  found.  ^^^'W' 

>     I         1  .1  and  5. 14. 

And  they  began  to  be  merry.  coi.  1.13. 

25  Now,   his  elder  son  was  in  the  Rev.  3.1. 
field  :   and,  as  he  came,  and  drew  nigh 

to  the  house,  he  heard  music  and  danc- 
ing. 

26  And  he  called  one  of  the  servants, 
and  asked  what  these  things  meant. 

J      27  And  he  said  'juto  Isim,  Thy  bro'.h  ;■' 


The  pat  a'jle  of  the  unjust  stczvurd.  ST.  LUKE. 

Anno  is  come  ;  and  thy  father  hath  killed  the 
^33_^^  fatted  calf,  because  he  hath  received 
Vy«v>j   him  safe  and  sound. 

28  And  lie  was  angry,  and  would  not 
go  in  :  therefore  came  his  father  out, 
and  entreated  him. 

29  And  he,  answering",  said  to  his  fa- 
ther, Lo,  these  many  years  do  I  serve 
thee  ;  neither  transgressed  I  at  any  time 
thy  commandment;  and  yet  thou  never 
gavest  me  a  kid,  that  I  might  make  mcr- 
ly  with  my  friends  : 

30  But  as  soon  as  this  thy  son  was 
come,  which  hath  devoured  thy  living 
with  harlots, thou  hast  killed  for  him  the 
fatted  calf 

31  And  he  said  unto  him.  Son,  thou 
arc  ever  with  me,  and  all  that  I  have  is 
thine. 

32  It  was  meet  that  we  should 
make  merry  and  be  glad  :  for  this  thy 
brother  was  dead,  and  is  alive  again ; 
and  was  lost  and  is  found. 

CHAP.  XVI. 
1  Of  the  unjust  steward.    14i  The  hypocri- 
sy of  the  Pharisees  reproved.     19  The 
rich  tnan,  and  Lazarus  the  beggar. 
AND  he  said  also  unto  his  disci- 
ples,  There  was  a  certain    rich    man 
which  had  a  steward  ;  and  the  same  «  as 
accused  unto  him  that  he  had  wasted 
his  goods. 

2  And  he  called  him,  and  said  un- 
to him,  How  is  it  that  I  hear  this  of 
thee?  give  an  account  of  thy  steward- 
ship; for  thou  mayest  be  no  longer 
steward. 

3  Then  the  steward  said  within  iiim- 
self.  What  shall  I  do,  for  my  lord  takelh 
away  from  me  the  stewardship  ?  I  cannot 
dig  ;  to  beg  I  am  ashamed. 

4  I  am  resolved  what  to  do,  that, 
when  I  am  put  out  of  the  stewardsliip, 
they  may  receive  me  into  their  houses. 

5  So  he  called  every  one  of  his  lord's 
debtors  unto  him,  and  said  unto  the 
first.  How  much  owest  thou  unto  m) 
lord  ? 

6  And  he  said,  An  hundred  measures 
of  oil.  And  he  said  unto  him.  Take 
thy  bill,  and  sit  down  quicklv,  and  writt 
fifty. 

7  Then  said  he  to  another,  And  how 
much  owest  thou  ?  And  he  said,  A;. 
hundred  measures  of  wheat.  And  ht 
said  unto  him.  Take  thy  bill,  and  write 
four-score. 

8  »  And  the  lord  commended  the  un- 
just stevvard,  because  he  liad  done  wise- 
ly :  for  1  he  children  of  this  vvorld  ari 
in  their  generation  wiser  than  the  children 

f  ligiit. 

9  '^  And  I  say  unto  you.  Make  to  your- 
selves friends  of  the  mammon  of  un- 
righteousness;  that,  when  ye  fail,  tlit-y 
may  receive  you  into  everlasting  habit;' -

22  Of  Christ's  coming,  he. 

a  THEN  said  he  unto  his  disciples, 

It  is  impossible  but  that  ottences  will 

come  :  but  woe  unto  him  through  whom 

they  come ' 

2  It  were  better  for  him  that  a  mil- 
stone  v/&ve  hanged  about  his  neck,  iiod 
he  cast  into  the  sea,  than  that  he  should 
oflfendone  of  these  little  ones. 

3  ^  t"  Take  heed  to  yourselves  :  If 
thy  brother  trespass  against  thee,  re- 
buke him  ;  and  if  he  repent,  forgive 
him. 

4  b  And  if  he  trespass  against  thee 
seven  times  in  a  day,  and  seven  times 
in  a  day  turn  again  to  thee,  saying,  I 
repent;  thou  shalt  forgive  him. 

5  fl  And  the  apostles  said  unto  the 
Lord,  Increase  our  faith. 

6  <^  And  the  Lord  said.  If  _\  e  had  faith 
as  a  grain  of  mustard-seed,  ye  might  say 
unto  this  sycamine-tree,  Be  thou  pluck- 
ed up  by  the  root,  and  be  thou  planted 
in  the  sea  ;  and  it  should  obey  you. 

7  But  which  of  you,  having  a  servant 
plowing,  or  feeding  cattle,  will  say 
unto  him  by  and  by,  when  he  is  come 
from  the  field,  Go  and  sit  down  to 
meat: 

8  And  will  not  rather  say  unto  him. 
Make  ready  wherewith  I  may  sup,  and 
gird  thyself,  and  serve  me,  till  I  have 
eaten  and  drunken  ;  and  afterward  thou 
shalt  eat  and  drink  ? 

9  Doth  he  thank  that  servant  because 
he  did  the  things  that  were  commanded 
him  ?  I  trow  not. 

10  d  So  likewise  ye,  when  ye  shall 
have  done  all  those  things  which  are 
commanded  you,  say,  We  are  unprofi- 
table servants  :  we  have  done  that  which 
was  our  duty  to  do. 

11  ^  «  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  went 
to  Jerusalem,  that  he  passed  tiirough 
the  midst  of  Samaria  and  Galilee. 

12  f  And  as  he  entered  into  a  certain 
village,  there  met  him  ten  men  that 
were  lepers,  which  stood  afar  oft" : 

13  And  they  hfted  up  theii  voices,

him  to  be  brought  unto  him  :  and,  when 
he  was  come  near,  he  asked  him, 

41  Saying,  What  wilt  thou  that  I  shall 
do  unto  thee  ?  And  he  said,  Lord,  that 
I  may  receive  my  sight. 

42  "  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Receive 
thy  sight ;  thy  faith  hath  saved  thee. 

43  And  immediately  he  received  his 
sight,  and  followed  him,  glorifying  God  : 
and  all  the  people,  when  they  saw  it 
gave  praise  unto  God.

AND   Jesus  entered  and  passed 
through  Jericho. 

2  And  behold,  there  ivas  a  man  named 
Zaccheus,  which  was  the  chief  among 
the  publicans,  and  he  was  rich. 

3  And  he  sought  to  see  Jesus  who  he 
was;  and  could  not  for  the  press,  be- 
cause he  was  little  of  stature. 

4  And  he  ran  before,  and  climbed  up 
into  a  sycamore-tree  to  see  him  ;  for 
he  was  to  pass  that  nuay. 

.5  And  when  Jesus  came  to  the  place 
he  looked  up,  and  saw  him,  and  said 
unto  him,  Zaccheus,  make  haste,  and 
come  down  ;  for  to-day  I  must  abide  at 
thy  house. 

6  And  he  made  haste,  andcame  down, 
and  received  himjoyfully. 

7  And  when  they  saw  it  they  all  mur- 
mured, saying,  That  he  was  gone  to  be 
guest  with  a  man  that  is  a  sinner. 

8  a  And  Zaccheus  stood,  and  said  un- 
to the  Lord,  Behold,  Lord,  the  halt  of 
my  goods  I  give  to  the  poor  ;  and  if  I 
have  taken  any  thing  from  any  man  by 
false  accusation,  I  restore  him  f  )ur-fuld. 

9  b  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  This 
day  is  salvation  come  to  this  house, 
forsomuch  as  he  also  is  a  son  of  Abra- 
ham. 

c  Mat.         10  ■=  For  the  Son  of  man  is  come  to 
i».W.arid  se-ik  and  to  save  that  which  was  lost. 

11  ^  And  as  they  heard  these  things 
he  added,  and  spake  a  parable,  because 
he  was  nigh  to  Jerusalem,  and  because 
they  thought  that  the  kingdom  of  God 
should  immediately  appear. 

12  "1  He  said,  therefore,  A  certain 
nobleman  went  into  a  far  country  to  re- 
ceive for  himself  a  kingdom,  and  to  re- 
turn. 

13  And  he  c.dled  his  ten  servants,  and 
delivered  them  ten  pounds,  and  said  un- 
to them.  Occupy  lill  I  come. 

14  «  But  his  citizens  hated  him,  and 


The  ten  pieces  nf  money. 

sent  a  message  after  him,  saying,  We  j^j^ll",^., 
will  not  have  this  nnan  to  reign  over  us.      33 

15  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  v\  lien  ^„/»v>^ 
he  was  returned,  having  received  the 
kingdom,  then  he  commanded  these 
servants  to  be  called  unto  hi  in,  to  whom 
he  had  given  the  money,  that  he  might 
know  how  much  every  man  had  gained 
by  trading. 

16  Then  came  the  first,  saying,  Lord, 
thy  pound  hath  gained  ten  pounds. 

17  '  And  he  said  unto  him.  Well  /"^i"- 
thou  good  servant :  because  thou  hast  chapter 
been  faithful  in  a  very  little,  have  tht  u  16. 10. 
authority  over  ten  cities.  ^^'^^^  ^^* 

18  And  the  second  came,  saying. 
Lord,  thy  pound  hatli  gaine<lfive  pounds. 

19  And  he  said  likewise  to  him.  Be 
thou  also  over  five  cities. 

20  And  another  came,  saying,  Lord, 
behold,  here  is  thy  pound,  wliicli  I  have 
kept  laid  up  in  a  napkin  : 

21  For  I  feared  thee,  because  thou  art 
an  austere  man  ;  thou  takest  up  that 
thou  laidest  not  down,  and  reapest  that 
thou  didst  not  sow. 

22  g  And  ke  saith  unto  him,  Out  off  2  Sam. 
thine  own  mouth  will  1  judge  thee,  thou  }qJ^{j  g 
wicked  servant.      Thou  knewestlhut  I  Mat. 
was   an  austere  man,  taking  up  that  1  12.37. 
laid  not  down,  and  reaping  that  I  did  not 
sow. 

23  Wiierefore  then  gavcst  not  thou 
my  money  into  the  bank,  that  at  my 
coming  I  might  have  required  mine  own 
with  usury  ? 

24  And  he  said  unto  them  that  stood 
by.  Take  from  him  the  pound,  and  give 
/( to  him  that  hath  ten  pounds. 

25  (And  they  said  unto  him,  Lord, 
he  hath  ten  pounds.)

would    not   that  I   should   reign  over 
them,  bring  hither,  and  slay  thein  be-

28  ^  ■  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken  ;.M.ak 
he  went  before,  ascending  up  to  jeru-  10.32. 
salem. 

29  k   And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  *  Mar. 
was  come  nigh  to  Bethphage  and  Be-  ^{^^ 
thany,  at  the  mount  called  the  mount  o\  n.  i. 
Olives,  he  sent  two  of  his  disciples, 

30  Saying,  Go  ye  into  the  village

ye  \oose  him?  thus  shall  ye  say  unto 
him.  Because  1  he  Lord  hath  need  of  him. 

32  And  they  that  were  sent  went

said  unto  them. 

33  And,  as  they  v/cre  loosing  the  colt,

36  And,  as  lie  went,  they  spi-ead  their 
clotties  in  tlie  way. 

'37  And  when  he  was  come  nigh,  even 
now  at  tlie  descent  of  the  mount  of

39  And  some  of  the  Pharisees  from 
among  the  multitude  said  unto  him,

ST.  LUKE.  The  parable  of  the  iilvey  an! . 

5  And  they  reasoned  with  themselves.     Anno 
saying.  If  we  shall  say.  From  heaven  ;  ^°^}^' 
he  will  say,  Wi»y  then  believed  ye  him  ^.rv>^ 
not  ?  • 

6  But  and  if  we  say,  Of  men  ;  all  the 
people  will  stone  us  :  for  they  be  per- 
suaded that  John  was  a  jirophet. 

7  And  they  answered.  That  they 
could  not  tell  whence  it  ivas. 

8  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Neither 
tell  I  you  by  what  authority  1  do  these 
things. 

9  %  «  Then  began  he  to  spea'^  to  the  c  l  Kings 

people  this   parable  ;    A  certain   man  ^^:.?*- 

planted  a  vineyard,  and  let  it  forth  to  36_  15",

13  Then  said  the  lord  of  the  vine-

beloved  son  :  it  may  be  they  will  reve-

14  ^  But  when  the  husbandmen  saw  d  Gen.

tlierefore,  untu  Cesar  the  things  which 
be  Cesar's,  and  unto  God  the  tilings 
whirh  be  God's. 

26  And  tl'ey  could  Hot  take  hold  of 
his  words  before  the  people  :  and  they 
marvelled  at  his  answer,  and  held  their 
peace. 

27  fl  1  Then  came  to  him  certain  of 
the  Sadducees,  which  deny  that  there 
is  any  resurrection ;  and  they  asked 
him, 

28  ^  Saying,  M:ister,  Moses-  wrote 
unto  us.  If  any  m:i:i's  brotiier  die,  hav- 
ing a  wife,  and  he  die  witliout  chil- 
dren, that  his  brother  should  take  his 
wife,  and  raise  up  seed  unto  his  brother. 

29  There  were,  therefore,  seven  bre- 
thren :  and  tiie  first  took  a  wife,  and 
died  wit     ut  children, 

30  Anrl  the  second  took  her  to  wife, 
and  i.e  died  childless. 

31  And  the  third  took  her  ;  and  in 
like  manner  the  seven  also :  and  they 
left  no  children,  and  died. 

32  L.!Sf  of  all  the  wf>man  died  also. 

33  Therefore  in  t'le  resurrection  whose 
wife  of  ihem  is  she?  for  seven  had  her 
to  wife. 

34  And  Jesus,  answering,  said  unto 
them.  The  cMldrenof  this  world  marry, 
and  arf.  given  in  marriage  : 

35  But  they  which  sha;l  be  accounted 
worthy  to  obtain  tiiat  woild,  and  the  re- 
surrection from  the  dead,  neither  mar- 
ry, nor  are  given  in  marria^je  : 

36  "  Neither  can  lliev  die  any  more : 
for  they  are  equal  unto  the  angels ;  and 
are  the  children  of  God,  being  the  chil- 
dren of  tlie  resurrection. 

37  °  Now,  that  the  dead  are  raised, 
even  Moses  shewed  at  the  bush,  when 
he  calleth  the  Lord  tlie  God  of  Abra- 
haiT>,  and  the  God  of  Isaac,  and  the 
God  of  Jacob. 

38  For  he  is  not  a  God  of  the  dead, 
but  of  the  living :  for  all  live  unto  him. 

39  Then  certain  of  the  scribes,  an- 
swering, s.iid.  Master,  thou  hast  well 

Hebrews  said. 

11. 16.  ^Q  ^j^ii  after  that  they  durst  not  ask

9  f  And  returned  h-om  the  sepulchre,

Jesus  himself  drew  near,  and  went  with 
them.

they  should  not  know  him. 

17  And  he  said  unto  them,  What

that  ye  have  one  to  another,  as  ye  walk, 
and  are  sad  ? 

18  n  And  the  one  of  them,  whose

27  U  °  And  upon  this  came  his  disci-

seekest  thou  ?    or,  Why   talkest  thou  \ 
with  her  ? 

28  ?  The  woman  then  left  her  water- 1

saith  to  the  men, 

29  <3  Come  see  a  man  which  told  me 
all  things  that  ever  I  did  :  is  not  this  the 
Christ  ? 

30  Then  they  went  out  of"  the  city, 
and  came  unto  him. 

31  If  In  the  mean  while  his  disciples 
prayed  him,  saying.  Master,  eat. 

32  '  But  he  said  unto  them,  I  have 
meat  to  eat  that  ye  know  not  of. 

33  Therefore  said  the  disciples  one  to 
another,  Hath  any  man  brought  him 
aught  to  eat? 

34  s  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  My  meat 
is  to  do  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me, 
and  to  finish  his  work. 

35  'Say  not  ye.  There  are  yet  ||  four 
months,  and  then  cometh  harvest.'  be-

he  that  reapeth  may  rejoice  togeth- 
er. 

37  And  herein  is  that  saying  true, 
One  soweth,  and  another  reapeth. 

58  I  sent  you  to  reap  that  whereon 
ye  bestowed  no  labour  :  other  men  la- 
boured, and  ye  are  entered  into  their 
labours. 

39  II  =•  And  many  of  the  Samaritans 
of  that  city  believed  on  him  for  the  say- 
ing of  the  woman,  which  testified,  He 
told  me  all  that  ever  I  did. 

40  So  when  the  Samaritans  were 
come  unto  him,  they  besought  him  that 
he  would  tarry  v,  ith  them ;  and  he  abode 
there  two  days. 

41  And  many  more  believed  because 
of  his  own  word  ; 

42  y  And  said  unto  the  woman,  Now 
we  believe,  not  because  of  thy  saying  ; 
for  we  have  heard  him  ourselves,  an(! 
know  that  this  isirdeed  the  Christ,  tht 
Savidur  of  the  world.

he  was  at  the  point  of  death. 

48  '^  Then  said  Jesus  unto  him,  Ex-  cchar. 
cept  ye  see  signs  and  wonders  ye  wii  \'q^^ 
not  believe.  1, 22. 

,      49  The  nobleman  saith  unto  him,  Sir, 
j  come  down  ere  my  child  die. 

50  Jesus  saith  ur.to  luni,  Go  thy  way ; 
thy  son  fiveth.  And  the  man  believed 
the  word  that  Jesus  had  spoken  unto 
him,  and  he  went  hi^  way. 

51  And,  as  he  was  now  going  down, 
his  servants  met  him,  and  told  hhti, 
saying,  Thy  son  hveth  ! 

52  Then  enquired  he  of  them  the  hour 
when  he  began  to  amend.  And  thev 
said  unto  him.  Yesterday  at  the  seventh 
hour  the  fever  left  him. 

53  So  the  father  knew  that;?  wa*  at 
the  same  hour  in  the  which  Jesus  said 
unto  him,  Ttiy  son  livelh  ;  and  himself 
believed,  and  his  whole  house. 

54  This  is  again  the  second  miracle 
f.'iaf  Jesus  did  when  he  was  come  out  ot 
Judea  into  Galilee.

the  multitude  for  their  carnal  views. 

AFTER  these  things  Jesus  went 

over  the  sea  of  Galilee,  which  is  the  sea 

of  Tiberias. 

2  And  a  great  multitude  followed 
him,  because  they  saw  his  miracles 
which  he  did  on  them  that  were  dis- 
eased. 

3  »  And  Jesus  went  up  into  a  moun- 
tain, and  there  he  sat  with  his  disci- 
ples. 

4  ''  And  the  ||  passover  a  feast  of  the 
Jews,  was  nigh. 

5  ^  =  When  Jesus  then  hfted  up  his 
eyes,  and  saw  a  great  company  come 
unto  him,  he  saith  unto  Philip,  Whence 
shall  we  buy  bread,  that  these  may  eal  ? 

6  (And  this  he  said  to  prove  him  : 
third  af.  for  he  himself  knew  what  he  would 
'"■'*"      do.) 

7  Philip  answered  him,  Two  hundred 
penny  worth  of  bread  is  not  sufficient 
for  them,  that  every  one  of  them  may 
take  a.  little. 

8  One  of  his  disciples,  Andrew,  Si- 
mon Peter's  brother,  saith  unto  him, 

9  <^  There  is  a  lad  here,  which  hath 
five  barley -loaves,  and  two  small  fishes : 
but  what  are  they  among  so  many  ? 

10  And  Jesus  said,  Make  the  men  sit 
down.  Now  there  was  much  grass  in 
the  place.  So  the  men  sat  down,  in 
number  about  five  thousand. 

11 «  And  Jesus  took  the  loaves  :  and, 
when  he  had  given  thanks,  he  distribu- 
ted to  the  disciples,  and  the  disciples 
to  tdiem  that  were  set  down  ;  and  like- 
wise of  the  fishes  as  much  as  they 
would. 

12  When  they  were  filled,  he  said  un- 
to his  disciples,  Gather  up  the  frag- 
ments that  remain,  that  nothing  be 
lost. 

13  Therefore  they  gathered  the^n  to- 
chap.  I.  gether,  and  filled  twelve  baskets  with 
no'  9?'^*"  '-''^  fragments  of  the  five  barley-loaves, 
and  7.' 40.  which  remained  over  and  above  unto 
g  Mat.  them  that  had  eaten. 
Mark  ^'^'  'Then  those  men,  when  they  had 
r,.  46.  seen  the  miracle  that  Jesus  did,  said, 
chap.2.25.  This  is  of  a  truth  that  Prophet  that 
/I'^Matt     should  come  into  the  world. 

15  fl  g  When  Jesus,  therefore,  per- 
ceived that  they  would  come  and  take 
him  by  force  to  make  him  a  king,  he 
departed  again  into  a  mountain  himself 
alone. 

16  h  And  when  even  was  no^x  come, 
lii'?  disnipl'^s  wentdcnvn  unto  the  sea. 


CHAP.  VI.  He  reproveth  the  multitude. 

17  And  entered  into  a  ship,  and  went  jjq""°  j 
over  the  sea  toward  Capernaum  :  and       32 

t  was   now  dark,  and  Jesus  was  not  ^,^v>^ 
come  to  them. 

18  And  the  sea  arose,  by  reason  of  a 
great  wind  that  blew. 

19  So  when  they   had  rowed  about 
five    and    twenty  or    thirty  ||  furlongs,  jM/w- 
they  see  Jesus  walking  on  the  sea,  and  i"//tk 
drawing  nigh  unto  the  ship  :  and  the>  of  12$ 
were  afraid.  l^** 

20  But  he  saith  unto  them.  It  is  I ;  34. 13, 
be  not  afraid. 

21  Then  they  willingly  received  him 
into  the  ship :  and  immediately  the 
ship  was  at  the  land  whither  they 
went. 

22  TJ  The  day  following,  when  the 
people,  which  stood  on  the  other  side  of 
the  sea,  saw  that  there  was  none  other 
boat  there  save  that  one  whereinto  his 
disciples  were  entered,  and  that  Jesus 
went  not  with  his  disciples  into  the  boat, 
but  that  his  disciples  were  gone  away 
alone  ; 

23  ('  Howbeit  there  came  other  boats  /  ver.  n. 
from   Tiberias,   nigh    unto    the    place 
where  they  did  eat  bread,  after  that 
the  Lord  had  given  thanks ;) 

24  When  the  people,  therefore,  saw 
that  Jesus  w.as  not  there,    neither  his 
disciples,    they    also    took    shipping, 
and  came  to  Capernaum,   seeking  for  *  Mat. 
Jesus.  3.i7.a.d 

25  And  when  they  had  found  him  01.  Mark  1. 
the  other  side  of  the  sea,  they  said  un-  ii-  and 
to  him.  Rabbi,  when  earnest  thou  hi-  {^^y^^  3^

26  Jesus  answered  them,  and  said,  ^j^^*'  ^ 
Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you.  Ye  seek  32.  and  4. 
me,  not  because  ye  saw  the  miracles,  ^^\^*-

Christ  ? 

27 "  Howbeit  we  know  this  man 
whence  he  is  :  but  when  Christ  cometh, 
no  man  knoweth  whence  he  is.

o2  \\ '  The  Pharisees  heard  that  the 
people  murmured  such  things  concern- 
ing him  ;  and  the  Pharisees  and  the 
chief  priests  sent  officers  to  take  him. 

33  ^  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them.  Yet 
a  little  while  am  I  with  you,  and  then  I 
go  unto  him  that  sent  me. 

34  =  Ye  shall  seek  me,  and  shall  not 
find  me  :  and  w  here  I  am  thither  ye  can- 
not come. 

35  Then  said  the  Jews  among  them- 
selves. Whither  will  he  go,  that  we 
shall  not  find  him  ?  will  he  go  unto  the 
dispersed  among  the  Gentiles,  and  teach 
the  Gentiles  ? 

36  What  ?na?»ier(y'' saying  is  this  that 
he  said,  Ye  shall  seek  me,  and  shall  not 
find  me  ?  and,  Where  I  am,  thither  ye 
cannot  come  i 

37  '  In  the  last  day,  that  great  day  of 
the  feast,  Jesus  stood  and  cried,  saying, 
If  any  man  thirst,  let  him  come  unto 
me  and  drink. 

38  g  He  that  believelh  on  me  as  the 
scripture  ha<h  said,  out  of  his  belly  shall 
flow  rivers  of  living  water. 

39  ''  (But  this  spake  he  of  the  .Spirit, 
which  they  that  believe  on  him  should 
receive :  for  the  Holy  Ghost  was  not 
yet  given  ;  because  that  Jesus  was  not 
yet  glorified.) 

40  51  i  Many  of  the  people,  therefore, 
when  they  heard  this  saying,  said.  Of 
a  truth  this  is  the  Prophet. 

41  ^  Others  said,  Tliis  is  the  Christ. 
But  some  said.  Shall  Christ  come  out  of 
Galilee  ? 

42  1  Hath  not  the  scripture  said.  That 
Christ  cometh  of  the  seed  of  David,  and 
lut  of  the  town  of  Bcth-lehem,  whert 
David  was  ? 

43  '^  So  there  was  a  division  among 
the  people  because  of  him.

JESUS   went  unto   the  mount  of 

Olives. 

2  And  early  in  the  morning  he  came 
again  into  the  temple,  and  all  the  people 
came  unto  him  ;  and  he  sat  down,  and 
taught  them. 

3  And  the  scribes  and  Pharisees 
brought  unto  him  a  woman  taken  in 
adultery ;  and,  when  they  had  set  her 
in  the  midst, 

4  They  say  unto  him.  Master,  this 
woman  w;is  taken  in  adultery,  in  the 
very  act. 

5  '  Now  Moses  in  the  law  command- 
ed 'is,  iiiat  such  should  be  stoned  :  but 
W.I  at  sayest  thou  ? 

6  This  they  said,  tempting  him,  that 
tii<  y  might  have  to  accuse  him.  But 
Jesus  stooped  down,  and  with  his  fin- 
ger wrote  on  the  ground,  as  though  he 
heard  them  not. 

7  ^  Si>,  when  they  continued  ask- 
ing hini,  he  lifted  up  himself,  and  said 
un'o  them.  He  that  is  without  sin 
among  you,  let  him  first  cast  a  stone  at

8  And  again  he  stooped  down,  and 
wrote  <<n  the  grou-d. 

9  ■=  And  thi-y  which  heard  it,  being 
convicted  by  their  oim  conscience,  went

alone,  and  the  woman  standing  in  the

known  me,  ye  should  have  known  my  ?•  ^S-

22  Then  said  the  Jews,  Will  he  kill 
himself;  because  he  saith,  Whither  I 
go  ye  cannot  come.

ye  shall  die  in  your  sins  ;  for  if  ye  be-

your  sins. 

25  Then  said  they  unto  him,  Who  art 
thou  ?  And  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  Even 
the  same  that  I  said  unto  you  from  the 
beginning.

1  Christ  restoreth  a  blind  man  to  sight . 
13  the  man  is  brought  to  the  Pharisees  : 
34  they  excomnuuiicate  him, 

AND  as  yesus  passed  by,  he  saw 
a  man  which  was  blind  from  his  birth. 

2  »  And  his  disciples  asked  him,  say-  a  ver.  34. 
ing,  Master,  who  did  sin,  this  man,  or 
his  parents,  that  he  was  born  blind  ? 

5  Jesus  answered.  Neither  hath  this 
man  sinned,  nor  his  parents  :  but  that  the 
works  of  God  should  be  made  manifest 
in  him. 

4  °  I  must  work  the  works  of  him  *chap.

and  washed,  and  I  received  sight. 

12  Then  said  tiiey  unto  him.  Where 
is  he  ?  He  said,  I  know  not. 

13  ^  Ttiey  brought  to  the  Pharisees 
him  that  atbretime  was  bhnd. 

14  And  it  was  the  sabbath-day  when 
Jesus  made  the  clay,  and  opened  his 
eyes. 

15  Then  again  the  Pharisees  also  ask- 
ed him  how  he  had  received  his  sight. 
He  said  unto  them,  He  put  clay  up  ;n 
mine  eyes,  and  I  washed,  and  do  see. 

16  d  Tfurefore  said  some  of  the  Pha- 
risees, This  man  is  not  of  God,  because 
he  keepeth  not  the  sabbath -day.  Others 
said,  How  can  a  man  that  is  a  sinner  do 
such  miracles  ?  And  there  was  a  division 
among  them. 

17  They  say  unto  the  blind  man 
again.  What  sayest  thou  of  him  ?  thai 
he  hath  opened  thine  eyes  I  He  said,  He 
is  a  prophet. 

18  But  the  Jews  did  not  believe  con- 
cerning him,  that  he  had  been  blind, 
and  received  his  sight,  until  they  called 
the  parents  of  him  that  had  received  his 
sight. 

19  And  they  asked  them,  saying,  Is 
this  your  son,  who  ye  say  was  born 
blind  ?  how  then  doth  he  now  see  ? 

20  His  parents  answered  them,  and 
said.  We  know  that  this  is  our  son,  and 
that  he  was  born  blind  : 

21  But  by  what  means  he  now  seetli 
%e  know  not ;  or  who  hath  opened  his 
eyes  we  know  not :  he  is  of  age,  ask 
him ;  he  shall  speak  for  himself. 

22  ■=  These  vjords  spake  his  parents, 
because  they  feared  the  Jews  :  for  the 
Jews  had  agreed  already,  that  if  any 
man  did  confess  that  he  was  Christ  he 
should  be  put  <iut  of  the  synagogue. 

23  Theref  )re  said  his  parents.  He  is 
of  age,  ask  him. 

24  f  Then  again  called  the}'  the  man 
that  was  blind,  and  said  unto  him,  Give 
God  the  praise:  we  know  that  this  man 
is  a  sinner. 

25  He  answered  and  said,  Whether 
he  be  a  sinner  or  no,-\  know  not:  one 
thing  I  know,  that,  whereas  I  was  blind, 
now  I  see. 

26  Then  said  they  to  him  again, 
What  did  he  to  thee  ?  how  opened  he 
thine  eyes  ? 

27  He  answered  them,  I  have  told 
you  already,  and  xe  did  f  not  hear : 
wherefore  would  ye  hear  it  again  ]  will 
ye  also  be  his  disciples  ? 

2S  Then  they  reviled  him,  and  said, 
Thciu  art  his  disciple  ;  but  we  are  Mo- 
ses'disciples. 

29  i  We  know  that  God  spake  unto 
Moses  :  as  for  \.h\^  fellow,  we  know  not 
from  whence  he  is. 

30  Ttie  man  answered,  and  said  unto 
them.  Why,  herein  is  a  marvellous 
thing,  that  yo  know  not  from  whence 
he  iiis,  andjKt-r  he halh  opened  mine  eyes. 


31  >■  Now,  we  know  that  God  heareth 
not  sinners  ;  but  if  any  man  be  a  wor- 
shipper of  God,  and  doeth  his  will,  him 
he  heareth. 

32  ■  Since  the  world  began  was  it  not 
heard,  that  any  man  opened  the  eyes  ol 
one  that  was  born  blind. 

33  If  this  man  were  not  of  God,  he 
could  dit  notliing. 

34  ^  ■<  They  answered,  and  said  unto 
him.  Thou  wast  altogether  born  in  sins, 
and  dost  thou  teach  us  ?  And  they  cast 

lim  out. 

35  ^  1  Jesus  heard  that  they  had  cast 
him  out;  and,  when  he  had  found  him, 
he  said  unto  him,  Dost  thou  beheve  on 
ti.e  Son  of  God  ? 

36  He  answered,  and  said.  Who  is 
he.  Lord,  that  I  might  believe  on  him  ? 

37  And  Jesus  said  unto  him.  Thou 
usi  both  seen  him,  and  it  is  he  that 
talketh  with  thee.

1  Christ  is  the  door,  and  the  good  shep' 

herd:  22  he  proveth  by  ivorks  that  he 

is  Christ,  in  unity  ivith  the  Father. 

VERILY,  verily,   I  say  unto  you. 

He  that  entereth  not  by  the  door  into 

the  sheep-fold,  but  cUmbeth  up  some 

other  way,  the   same  is  a  thief  and  a 

robber. 

2  But  he  that  entereth  in  by  the  door 
is  the  shepherd  of  the  sheep. 

3  To  him  the  porter  openeth ;  and 
tlie  sheep  hear  his  voice :  and  he  calleih 
his  own  sheep  by  name,  and  leadeth 
them  out. 

4  And,  when  he  putteth  forth  his 
own  sheep,  he  goetli  before  them,  and 
the  sheep  follow  him  :  for  they  know  his 
voice. 

5  And  a  stranger  willthey  not  follow, 
but  will  flee  from  him  :  for  they  know 
not  the  voice  of  strangers. 

6  This  parable  spake  Jesus  unto 
them :  but  they  understood  not  what 
things  they  were  which  he  spake  unto 
them.

Pharisees  hold  a  council. 

NOW  a  certain  rpMn  was  sick, 
namec/ Lazarua,  of  Beiliany,  the  town 
of  Mary  and  her  sister  Martha. 

2  ^  (It  was  that  Mary  which  anointed 
the  Lord  with  ointment,  ar.d  wiped  his 
feet  with  her  hair,  whose  brother  Laza- 
rus was  sick.) 

3  Thereibre  his  sisters  sent  imtohiro, 
saying,  Lord,  behold,  he  whom  thou 
lovest  is  sick. 

4  ^  When  Jesus  heard  that  he  said. 
This  sickness  is  not  unto  death,  but  for 
the  gl'iry  of  God,  that  the  Son  of  God 
mijjht  ba  gloriheil  thereby. 

5  Now  Jesus  h.ved  Martha,  and  her

10 '!  But  if  a  man  walk  in  the  night 
he  stumbleth,  because  there  is  no  hght 
in  him. 

11  These  things  said  he  :  and  afler 
that  he  saith  unto  them,  Our  friend  La- 
zarus sleepeth;  but  I  go  that  I  may 
avake  him  out  of  sleep. 

12  Then  said  his  disciples.  Lord,  if 
he  sleep  he  shall  do  well. 

13  Hov.  beit  Jesus  spake  of  his  death  : 
but  they  thought  that  he  had  spoken  of 
taking  of  rest  in  sleep. 

14  =  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them  plain- 
ly, Lazarus  is  dead. 

15  And  I  am  glad  for  your  sakes  that 
i  was  not  there,  to  the  intent  ye  may 
believe  ;  nevertheless  let  us  go  unto 
him. 

16  Then  said  Thomas,  wtiich  is  call- 
ed  DIdymus,  unto  his  fellow-disciples, 
Let  U3  also  go,  that  we  may  die  with 
him. 

17  Then,  when  Jesus  came,  he  found 
that  he  had  lain  in  the  gi'ave  four  days 
already. 

18  (Now  Bethany  was  nigh  unto  Je- 
rusalem, about  lifieen  furlongs  off.) 

19  And  many  of  the  Jews  came  to 
Mai  tha  and  Mary,  to  comfort  them  con- 
cerning their  brother. 

20  Then  Martha,  as  soon  as  she  heard 
that  Jesus  was  coming,  went  and  met 
him  :  but  Mary  sat  still  in  the  house. 

21  Then  said  Martha  unto  Jesus, 
Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here  my  bro- 
ther iiad  not  died. 

22  •'  But  I  know  that,  even  now, 
whatsoever  thou  wilt  ask  of  God,  God 
will  give  it  thee. 

23  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Thy  brother 
shall  rise  again. 

24  g  Martha  saith  unto  him,  I  know- 
that  he  shall  rise  again  in  the  resurrec- 
tion at  the  last  day. 

25  1'  Jesus  said  unto  her,  I  am  the  re-

28  And,  when  she  had  so  said,  she 
went  her  way,  and  called  Mary  lier 
sister  secretly,  saying.  The  Master  is 
come,  and  calleth  for  thee. 

29  As  soon  as  she  heard fAat she  arose 
quickly,  and  came  unto  him. 

30  Now  Jesus  was  not  yet  come  into 
the  town,  but  was  in  that  place  where 
Martha  met  him. 

31 '  The  Jews  then,  which  were  witli 
her  in  the  house,  and  comibrted  her, 
when  they  saw  Mary  that  she  rose  up 
hastily,    and  went  o\it,  fbllowed  her. 


saying.  She  goelh  unto  the  grave  to     Anno

32  >"  Then  when  Mary  was  come  ^>-\^ 
where  Jesus  was,  and  saw  him,  she  fell  mver.2i. 
down  at  his  feet,  saying  unto  him,  Lord, 

if  thou  hadst  been  here  my  brother  had 
not  died. 

33  When  Jesus,  therefore,  saw  her 
weeping,  and  the  Jews  also  weeping 
which  came  with  her,  he  groaned  in  the 
spirit,  and  was  troubled, 

34.  And  said.  Where  have  ye  laid  him  ? 
They  say  unto  him.  Lord,  come  and 
see. 

35  Jesus  wept. 

36  Then  said  the  Jews,  Behold,  how 
he  loved  him  ! 

37  n  And  some  of  Ihem  said,  Could  nchap. 
not  this  man,  which  opened  the  eyes  of  '•  *• 
the  blind,  have  caused  that  even  this 

man  should  not  have  died  ? 

38  Jesus,  therefore,  again  groaningin 
himself,  cometh  to  the  grave.  It  was  a 
cave,  and  a  stone  lay  upon  it. 

39  Jesus  said, Take  ye  away  the  stone, 
Martha,  the  sister  of  him  that  was  dead, 
saith  unto  him,  Lord,  by  this  time  he 
stinketh  ;  for  he  hath  been  dead  four 
days. 

40  0  Jesus  saith  unto  her.  Said  I  not  o  ver.  4. 
unto   thee,  that,  if  thou  wouldest  be-  Ro'nans 
lieve,  thou  shouldest  see  the  glory  of  ^'  *' 
God' 

41  Then  they  took  away  the  stone 
from  i lie  place  where  the  dead  was  laid. 

And  Jesus  lified  up  his  eyes,  and  said. 
Father,  I  thank  thee  that  thou  hast 
heard  me. 

42  And  I  knew  that  thou  hearest  me 
always ;  but  because  of  the  people 
which  stand  by  I  said  it,  that  they  may 
believe  that  thou  hast  sent  me. 

43  And,  when  he  thus  had  spoken, 
he  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  Lazarus, 
come  forth. 

44  And  he  that  was  dead  came  forth, 
bound  hand  and  foot  with  grave-clothes ; 
and  his  face  was  bound  about  with  a 
napkin.  Jesus  saith  unto  them.  Loose 
him,  and  let  him  go. 

45  p  Then  many  of  the  Jews  which  p  ch.  is. 
caiT>e  to  Mary,  and  had  seen  the  things  ^*'  '* 
vvhicli  Jfsus  did,  believed  on  him.

51  And  this  spake  he  nntnf  himself;

prophesied  tliat  Jesus  should  die  toi

52  s  And  not  for  that  nation  only,  b>it 
that  also  he  should  gather  t'gcthei  in 
one  the  children  of  God  that  were  scat-

53  Then,  from  that  day  forth,  they 
took  counsel  together  for  to  put  him  to 
death. 

5i  Jesus,  therefore,  walked  no  more 
openly  among  tlie  Jews  ;  but  went  thence 
unto  a  country  near  to  the  wilderness, 
into  a  city  called  Ephraim,  and  there 
continued  with  his  disciples.

country  up  to  Jerusalem  before  Uie 
passover,  to  purify  themselves. 

56  Then  sought  they  for  Jesus,  and 
spake  among  themselves,  as  the>  sto'id 
in  the  tempfe,  Wiiat  think  ye  ;  that  he 
will  not  come  to  the  feast  ? 

57  Now  both  the  chief  priests  and 
the  Pharisees  had  given  a  command- 
meni,  that,  if  any  man  knew  where  he 
were,  he  should  stiew  it,  that  they 
might  take  him.

»  THEN  Jesus,  six  days  before  the 
passover,  came  to  Bethany,  where  La- 
zarus was,  which  had  been  dead,  whom 
he  raised  from  the  dead. 

2  t"  There  they  made  him  a  supper, 
and  Martha  served  :  but  Lazarus  was 
one  of  them  that  sat  at  the  table  with 
him. 

3  "  Then  took  Mary  a  pound  of  oint- 
ment of  spikenard,  very  costly,  and 
anointed  the  feet  of  Jesus,  and  a  iped 
his  feet  with  ner  hair  :  and  the  house 
was  filled  with  the  odour  of  the  oint- 
ment. 

4  Then  saith  one  of  his  disciples,  Ju- 
das Iscariot,  Simon's  son,  which  should 
betray  him, 

5  Wiiy  was  not  this  ointment  sold

the  poor? 

6  d  This  he  said,  not  that  he  cared 
for  the  poor ;  but  because  he  was  a 
thief,  and  had  the  bag,  and  bare  what 
was  put  tlierein. 

7  Then  said  Jesus,  Let  her  alone : 
against  the  day  of  my  burying  hath  she 
kept  this. 

8  ^  For  the  poor  always  ye  have  with 
vou  ;  but  me  ye  have  not  always. 

9  H  Much  people  of  the  Jews,  there- 
fore, knew  that  he  was  there  ;  aad!lhey 
came,  not  for  Jesus'  sake  only,  but  that 
they  might  see  I-azarus  also,  wliom  he 
h'ad  raised  from  the  dead.

fd  :   others  said,  An  angel  spake    to 
him. 

30  Jesus  answered  and  said,  This 
voice  came  not  because  of  me,  but  for 
your  sakes 

31  n  Now  is  the  judgment  of  this 
world :  now  shall  the  prince  of  this  world 
be  cast  out. 

32  0  And  I,  if  I  be  lifted  up  from  tlie 
earth,  will  draw  all  inen  unto  me. 

33  (This  he  said,  signifying  what 
death  he  should  die.) 

34  P  The  people  answered  him,  "We 
have  heard  out  of  the  law  that  Christ 
abideth  for  ever  ;  and  how  sayest  thou, 
1  he  Son  of  man  must  be  Ufled  up  ?  who 
is  ilns  Son  (if  man  ? 

35  1  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them.  Yet 
a  little  while  is  tlie  light  with  you  ;  walk 
wliilc  ye  have  the  light,  lest  darkness 
come  upon  you  :  for  he  that  walketh  in 
dnrkness  kiioweth  not  whither  he  go- 
em. 

36  While  ye  have  light,  beUeve  in  the 
light,  that  ye  may  be  the  children  of 
light.  These  things  spaKe  Jesus,  and 
departed,  and  did  hide  himself  from 
them. 

37  H  But  though  he  had  done  so  many 
miracles  before  them,  yet  they  believed 
not  on  him  : 

38  '  That  the  saying  of  Esaias  the 
pntpiiet  might  be  fiilhlled,  which  he 
spake,  Lord,  who  hatu  believed  our  re- 
port ?  and  to  whom  hath  the  arm  of  the 
Lord  been  revealed  ? 

39  Therefore  they  could  not  believe, 
because  that  Esaias  said  again, 

40  s  He  hath  blinded  their  eyes,  and 
hardened  their  heart,  that  they  should 
not  see  viih  their  eyes,  nor  understand 
with  their  heart,  and  be  converted,  and 
I  should  heal  them. 

41  t  These  things  said  Esaias,  when 
he  saw  his  glory,  and  spake  of  him. 

42  ^  "  Nevertheless  among  the  chief 
rulers  also  many  believed  on  him  :  but 
because  of  the  Pharisees  they  did  not 
confess  hi^n,  lest  they  should  be  put  out 
of  the  synagogue  : 

43  x  Foitiiey  loved  the  praise  of  men 
more  than  the  praise  of  God. 

44^1  y  Jesus  cried,  and  said.  He  that 
believeth  on  me,  believeth  not  on  me, 
but  on  him  that  sent  me. 

45  And  he  that  seeth  me,  seeth  him 
that  sent  me. 

46  z  I  am  come  a  light  into  the  world, 
that  whosoever  believeth  on  me  should 

?"^^- 1°-  not  abide  in  darkness. 

47  ^  And  if  any  man  hear  my  words, 
andbeUeve  not,  I  judge  him  not :  for  I 
came  not  to  judge  the  world,  but  to  save 
the  world, 

48  ^  He  that  rejecteth  me,  and  re- 
cciveth  not  my  words,  hath  one  thai

into  him.  Then  said  Jesus  unto  him. 
That  tliou  doest  do  quickly.

_     Judas   then,    having   received    a 

DomNI  band  of  -men  and   officers,    from    the 

chief  priests   and    Pha^i^^ees,    cometh 

thither  with  lanterns,  and  torches,  a.d 

weapons. 

4  Jesus,  therefore,  knowing  all  things 
that  should  come  upon  him,  went  fortli, 
and  said  unto  them,  Whom  seek  ye  ? 

5  They  answered  him,  Jesus  of  Na- 
zareth. Jesus  saith  unto  them,  I  am 
he.  And  Judas  also,  which  betrayed 
him,  stood  with  the m. 

6  As  soon  then  as  he  had  said  unto 
them,  I  am  he,  they  went  backward, 
and  fell  to  the  ground. 

7  Then  asked  he  them  again,  Whom 
seek  ye  .'  And  they  said,  Jesus  of  Naza- 
reth. 

8  Jesus  answered,  1  have  told  you 
that  I  am  he.  If,  therefore,  ye  seek 
me,  let.  these  go  their  way  : 

9  d  That  the  saying  might  be  fulfilled 
which  he  spake.  Of  them  which  thou 
gavest  me  have  I  lost  none. 

10  '  Then  Simon  Peter,  having  a 
sword  drew  it,  and  smote  the  high 
priest's  servant,  and  cut  off  his  right  ear. 
The  servant's  name  was  Malchus. 

11  Then  said  Jesus  unto  Peter,  Put 
up  th)  sword  into  the  sheath  :  the  cup 
which  my  Father  hath  given  me,  shall 
I  not  drink  it  ? 

1211  ^  Thert  the  band,  and  the  cap- 
tain, and  officers  of  the  Jews,  took  Je- 
sus, and  bound  him, 

13  K  And  led  him  away  to  Annas  first : 
(for  he  was  father-m-law  to  Caiaphas, 
which  was  the  high  priest  that  same 
year.) 

14  >>  Now  Caiaphas  was  he  which 
gave  counsel  to  the  Jews,  that  it  w^as 
expedient  th<tt  one  man  should  die  for 
the  people. 

15 1j '  And  Simon  Peter  followed  Je- 
sus, and  so  did  another  disciple.  That 
disciple  was  known  unto  the  high  pries., 
and  went  in  with  Jesus  into  the  palace 
of  the  high  priest. 

16  But  Peter  stood  at  the  door  with- 
out. Then  went  out  that  other  disciple, 
which  was  known  unto  the  high  priest, 
and  spake  unto  her  that  kept  the  door, 
and  brought  in  Peter. 

17  Then  saith  the  damsel  that  kept 
the  door  unto  Peter,  Art  not  thou  also 
one  of  this  man's  disciples  ?  He  saith,  1 
am  not. 

18  ''  And  the  servants  and  officers 
stood  there,  who  had  made  a  lire  oi 
coalsf  (for  it  was  cold,)  and  they  warm- 
ed themselves  :  and  Peter  stood  with 
them,  and  warmed  himself. 

19 1[  The  high  prit-st  then  asked  Jesus 
of  liis  disciples,  and  of  his  doctrine. 

20  '  Jesus  answeredhim,  I  spake  open- 
ly to  the  world  ;  1  ever  taught  in  th.

27  Peter  then  denied  again ;  and  im- 
mediately the  cock  crew. 

28  p  Then  led  they  Jesus  from  Caia-  /'Mat, 
phas  unto  tlie  hall  of  judgment:  and  it  jJark 
was  early  ;  and  they  themselves  went  not  15.  i.

and  said.    What  accusation  bring  ye

30  They  answered  and  said  unto  him. 
If  he  were  not  a  malefactor,  we  would 
not  have  delivered  him  up  unto  thee. 

31  Then  said  Pilate  unto  them.  Take 
ye  him,  ai.d  judge  him  according  to  your 
law.  The  Jews,  therefore,  said  unto 
him.  It  is  not  lawful  for  us  to  put  any 
man  to  death  :

and  delivered  to  be  crucijied :  28  he  re- 

cciveth  the  vinegar,  dieth,  and  is  buried 

'THEN   Pilate,    therefore,    took 

Jesus,  and  scourged  him. 

2  b  And  the  soldiers  platted  a  crown 
of  thorns,  and  put  it  on  his  head  ;  and 
they  put  on  him  a  purple  robe, 

3  And  said,  Hail,  feing  of  the  Jews  ! 
and  they  smote  hi^n  w  itli  their  hands. 

4  If  <^"Pilate,  therefore,  went  forth 
again,  and  saith  unto  them.  Behold,  I 
bring  him  forth  to  you,  that  ye  may 
know  that  I  find  no  fault  in  him. 

5  Then  came  Jesus  forth,  wearing  the 
crown  of  thorns,  and  the  purple  robe. 
And  Pilate  saith  unto  them,  Behold  the 
man  ! 

6  d  When  the  chief  priests,  therefore, 
and  officers  saw  him,  they  cried  out, 
saying,  Crucify  him,  crucify  him.  Pi- 
late saitli  unlo  ihcm,  Take  ye  him,  and 
crucify  him.  •   for  I  find  no  fault  in  him. 

7  <^  The  Jews  ans-vered  him,  We  h^ve 
a  law,  and  by  our  law  he  ought  to  die, 
because  he  made  himself  the  Son  of 
God. 

8  ^  Wlien  Pilate,  tlierefore,  heai-d 
that  saying  he  was  the  more  afraid  ; 

9  'And  wchl  again  into  the  judg- 
ment-hall, and  saith  unto  Jesus,  Wiience 
art  thou  ?  But  Jesus  gave  him  no  an- 
swer. 

10  s  Then  saith  Pilate  unto  him, 
Speakest  thou  not  unto  me  ?  knowest 
thou  not  that  I  have  power  to  crucit\ 
thee,  and  h.ave  power  to  release  thee  ? 

11  !>  Jesus  answered,  Thou  couldest 
have  no  power  at  a// against  me,  exce];i 
it  were  given  thee  from  above  :  there- 
fore he  that  delivered  me  unto  thee 
hath  the  greater  sin. 

12  And  from  thenceforth  Pilate  sought 
to  release  him  :  but  the  Jews  cried  oui 
saying,  If  thou  let  this  man  go  thou  an 
not  Cesar's  friend  :  whosoever  maketh 
himself  a  king  speaketh  against  Cesar. 

13  II  When  Pilate,  tlierefore,  heard 
that  saying  he  brought  Jesus  forth,  and 
sat  downin  the  judgment-seat,  in  a 
place  that  is  called  The  Pavement,  bui 
in  the  Hebrew  Gabbatha. 

14  And  it  was  tiie  preparation  of  tin 
passover,  and  about  the  .sixth  hour  :  and 
he  saith  unto  the  Jews,  Behol,d  your 
King! 

15  '  But  they  cried  out.  Away  with 
him,  away  v.'ltli  him,  crucify  him.  Pi 
late   saith   unto  tiiem.    Shall  I  crucif 
your  King  I  Tlie  chief  priests  answered, 
Wc  have  no  king  but  Cesar. 


16  ■<  Then  delivered  he  him,  therefore,  _^""°, , 
unto  them  lo  be  crucified.  And  they  ^^* 
took  Jesus,  avid  led  him  away.  ^^-'.'^^ 

17  ^  '  And   lie,    bearing   his  cross,  *  Mat. 
went  forth  into  a  place  Ciilied  the  place  |j' ^^•

19  «[[  And  PiLaie  wrote   a   title,  and  21.  Isf 
put  it  on  the  cross.     And  the  writing  Acts 
was,  JESUS  OF  NAZAKETH,  THE  ^*^^- 
KING  OF  THE  JEWS.  13.12 

20  This  title  then  read  many  of  the 
Jew.-;  for  the  place  v\  here  Jesus  was  cru- 
cified was  nigh  to  the  city  :  and  it  was 
written  in  Hebrew,  and  Greek,  and 
Latin. 

21  Then  said  the  chief  priests  of  the 
Je.vs  to  Pilavf ,  Wriie  not.  The  King 
ot  the  Jews ;  but  that  he  said,  I  am  King 
of  the  Jews. 

22  Pilate  answered,  What  I  have 
written,  I  have  written. 

23 1!  ■"  Then  the  soldiers,  when  they  2"  si!' 
had  crucified  Jesus,  took  his  garment.^,  Mark

a  part ;  and  also  his  coat :  now  the  coai  33,  34.

24  »  They   said,    therefore,    among^  n  Psalm 
themselves,  Let  us  not  rend  it,  but  casl  22-  id- 
iots for  it,  whose  it  shall  be :   that   the 
scripture    might    be    fulHIled,     which 
saith.  They  parted  my  raiment  among 
them,  and  for  my  vesture  they  did  cast 

lots.     These  things,  therefore,  the  sol- 
diers did. 

25  *[\  Now  there  stood  by  the  cross  of 
Jesus  his  mother,  and  his  mother's  sis- 
ter, Mary  the  i\:ife  of  Cleophas,  and 
Mary  Magdalene. 

26  °  Wtien  Jesus,  therefore,  saw  his  l'^^^\f

29  '  Now  there  was  set  a  vessel  full  ^^"'*g

19  '"  Repent  ye,  therefore,  and  be 
converted,  that  your  sins  may  he  blot- 
ted out,  when  the  ti.nnes  of  refreshing 
shall  come  from  the  presence  of  the 
Lord; 

20  °  And  he  shall  send  Jr-sus  Chris', 
vviiich  before  was  preached  unto  you : 

21  °  Whom  tlie  heaven  must  receivt 
until  the  times  of  restitution  of  all 
things,  which  God  hath  spoken  by  the 
moutii  of  all  his  holy  prophets  since  the 
world  began. 

22  P  For  Moses  truly  said  unto  the 
fathers,  A  prophet  shall  the  Lord  your 
God  raise  up  unto  you  of  your  brethren, 
like  unto  me  ;  him  shall  ye  hear  in  al! 
things,  whatsoever  he  shall  say  unto  you. 

23  And  it  shall  come  to  pass,  that 
every  soul  vvhicli  will  not  hear  that  Pro- 
phet s'lall  be  destroyed  from  among  the 
people. 

24  Yea,  and  all  the  prophets  from 
Samuel,  and  tliose  that  follow  after,  as 
many  as  have  spoken,  have  likewise 
foretold  of  these  days. 

25  <)  Ye  are  the  children  of  the  pro- 
phets, and  of  the  covenant  which  God 

nade  with  our  fathers,  saying  unto 
Abraham,  And  in  thy  seed  shall  all  the 
kindreds  of  the  earth  be  blessed. 

26  r  Unto  you  first,  God,  having  raised 
up  his  Son  Jesus,  sent  him  to  bless  you, 
in  turning  away  every  one  of  you  from 
his  iniquities.

'AND,  as   they  spake   unto  the 

people,  the  priests,  and  the  captain  of 

the  temple,  and  the  Sadducees,  came 

upon  them, 

2  *>  Being  grieved  that  they  taught 
the  people,  and  preached  through  Jesus 
the  '6  urrection  from  the  dead. 

3  And  they  laid  hands  on  them,  and 
put  them  m  hold  unto  the  next  day  :  for 
it  was  now  even-tide. 

4  <:  Howbeit  many  of  them  which 
heard  the  word  believed  ;  and  the  num-

Caiaphas,  and  John,  and  Alexmder,

at  Jerusalem.

23  n  Saying',  Tlic  prison  truly  found 
we  sliut  witli  all  safely,  and  the  k>epei'S 
standiiig  w  ithout  before  the  duors  :  but 
when  we  had  opened,  v/e  louiid  no  man 
w'tbin. 

24  Now,  when  the  thigh  priest,  and 
tlie  captain  oFlhe  temple,  and  the  chief 
priesis,  heard  these  things,  they  doubt- 
ed of  them  whereunto  ti  is  would  grow. 

25  o  Thpii  came  one  and  to'd  them, 
saying,  Behold,  the  men  whom  ye  put 
in  prison  are  standing  in  the  temple, 
and  teaching  the  people. 

26  p  Then  went  the  cap'ain  with  the 
officers,  and  brought  them  without  vio- 
lencc:  (f"r  they  fe.-.red  the  people,  lest 
they  should  have  been  stoned  :) 

27  And,  when  ti;ey  had  brought  them, 
they  set  t/iei)i  before  the  council:  and 
the  high  priest  asked  them, 

28  t  Saying,  Did  not  we  strailly  com- 
m.and  you,  that  ye  should  not  teach  in 
this  name?  and,  behold,  yt-  have  filled 
Jerusalem  with  your  doctrine,  and  in- 
tend lo  briiig  this  man's  blood  upon  us. 

29  ^  r  Then  Peter  and  the  ot/ier  apos- 
tles answered  and  said,  We  ought  to 
obey  God  rather  than  men. 

30  s  The  God  of  our  fathers  raised 
up  Jesus,  whom  ye  slew,  and  hanged  on 
a  tree  : 

vSl  '  Him  hath  God  exalted  with  his 
right  hand  to  be  a  Prince  and  a  Saviour, 
for  to  give  repentance  to  Israel,  ai:d 
forgiveness  <.f  sins. 

3'^  "  And  v/e  are  his   witnesses  of 
these  things;  and  so  is  also  the  H.d 
Ghost,  whom  God  hath  given  to  them 
that  obey  him. 

33  ^  When  they  heard  that,  the> 
were  cut  to  the  heart,  and  took  counsel 

o  slay  them. 

34  "  Then  stood  there  up  one  in  th' 
•:ouncil,  a  Pharisee,  named  Gariiahe  . 
a  doctor  of  the  law,  had  in  reputation 
among  all  the  people,  and  commande(i 
ro  pui  the  apostles  forth  a  little  space  ; 

35  And  said  unto  then),  Ye  men  '■' 
i'>rael,  take  heed  to  yourselves  what  ye 
mtend  to  do  as  touching  tht!se  men. 

36  For  before  these  d;iys  rose  up 
Theudas,  boasting  himself  to  be  some- 
body :  t »  whom  a  number  of  men, 
ahou'  four  hundred,  j  linrdthemselv.  s: 
who  <\  as  slain ;  and  all,  as  many  as  obej  - 
ed  1  im,  were  scattered,  and  brought  ;■ 
nouuht. 

37  After  this  man  rose  up  Judas  .' 
Gahlee  in  the  day-  of  thi-  taxing,  uikI 
drew  awav  much  people-  ;.fier  iiim  :  he 
ahso  perished;  and  a:t,  even  as  man)'  ui. 
obeved  him,  were  dispersed. 

38  y  And  now,  I  say  unto  you,  Ke- 
frain  from   the.se    m.en,    and   let  ihi  ■ 
alone:  for  if  this  counsel  or  this  w  r 
be  of  men,  it  will  ctmie  to  nought : 

39  »  But  if  it  be  (f  God,  ye  canno 
overthrow  it ;  lest  I  apl--  ye  be  f-ur  ;

40  ^  And  to  him  they  agreed:  and, 
when  they  had  called  tlie  apostles,  and 
beaten  t/ievi,  they  commanded  that 
•hey  should  not  speak  in  the  name  of 
Jesus,  and  let  them  go. 

41  ^f  !>  And  they  departed  from  the 
presence  of  the  council,  rejoicing  th;;i 
they  were  counted  worthy  to  suffer 
shame  for  his  name.

evefy  house,  they  ceased  not  to  teacli 
and  preach  Jesu.'?  Christ.

accused  of  blasphemy. 

»  AND  in  those  days,  when  the 
number  of  the  disciples  was  muUiplied, 
there  arose  a  murmuring  of  the  Greci- 
ans against  the  Hebrews,  because  their 
widows  were  neglected  in  the  daily  mi- 
nistration. • 

2  ^  Then  the  twelve  called  the  multi- 
tude of  the  disciples  unto  thcni,  and  said. 
It  is  not  reason  that  we  should  leave  tlie 
V.  ord  of  God  and  serve  tables. 

3  ^  Wherefore,  brethren,  look  ye  out 
among  you  seven  men  of  honest  report, 
full  of  the  H"ly  Ghost  and  wisdom, 
whom  we  may  appoint  over  this  busi- 
ness. 

4  But  we  will  give  ourselves  continu- 
ally to  prayer,  and  to  the  n;inislry  of  the 
word. 

5  ^  ^  And  the  saying  pleased  the 
whole  multitude :  and  they  chose  Ste- 
phen, a  man  full  of  faith  and  of  the  H'^ly 
Gi'ost,  and  Philip,  and  Prochorus,  am; 
Nicanor,  and  Timon,  and  Parmenas, 
und  Nicolas  a  proselyte  of  Antioch  ; 

6  «  Whom  they  set  before  the  apos- 
tles: and,  when  they  had  prayed,  the_\ 
laid  their  hands  on  them. 

7  f  And  the  word  of  God  increased  ; 
and  the  number  of  the  disciples  multi- 
plied in  Jerusalem  greatly  :  and  a  great 
company  of  the  priests  were  obedient 
to  the  flith. 

8  %  -^  And  Stephen,  full  of  faith  and 
pi.wer,  did  great  wonders  and  miracles 
aming  the  people. 

9  ^  Then  there  arose  certain  (<f  the

7  For  unclean  spirits,  crying-  with 
loud  voice,  came  out  of  many  that  were 
possessed  w/f  A  them  ■•  and  many  taken 
with  palsies,  and  that  were  lame,  were 
healed. 

8  And  there  was  great  joy  in  tliat 
city. 

9  Tl  f  But  there  was  a  certain  man 
called  Simon,  which  before  time  in  the 
same  city  used  sorcery,  and  bewitclied 
the  people  of  Saroai  ia,  giving  out  that 
himself  was  some  great  one : 

10  To  whom  they  all  gave  heed,  from 
the  least  to  the  greatest,  saying.  This 
man  is  the  great  power  of  God. 

11  And  to  him  they  had  regard,  be- 
cause that  of  long  time  he  had  bewitch- 
ed them  with  sorceries. 

12  8  But  when  they  believed  Philip 
preaching  the  things  concerning  the 
kingdom  of  God,  and  the  name  of  Je- 
sus Christ,  they  were  baptized,  both 
men  and  women. 

13  Then  Simon  himself  believed  also; 
and  ■'.•.hen  he  was  baptized  he  continued 
with  Philip,  and  wondered,  beholding 
the  miracles  and  signs  which  were  done. 

14  1[  Now,  when  the  apostles  which 
were  at  Jerusalem  heard  that  Samaria 
had  received  the  word  of  God,  they  sent 
unto  them  Peter  and  John  ; 

15  Who,  when  they  were  come  down, 
prayed  for  them,  that  they  might  re- 
ceive the  Holy  Ghost. 

16  (For  as  yet  he  was  fallen  upon 
none  of  them  :  only  they  were  baptized 
in  the  name  of  the  Lord  Jesus.) 

17  Then  laid  l!iey  their  hands  on 
them,  and  they  received  the  Holy 
Ghost. 

18  And  when  Simon  saw  that  through 
laying  on  of  the  apostles'  hands  the 
Holy  Ghost  was  given,  he  oflered  them 
money, 

19  ^  Saying,  Give  me  also  this  power, 
that  on  whomsoever  I  lay  hands  he  may 
receive  the  Holy  Ghost. 

20  But  Peter  said  unto  him.  Thy  mo- 
ney perish  with  thee,  because  thou  hast 
thoug'.it  that  the  gift  of  God  may  be 
purchased  with  money. 

21  Thou  hast  neither  part  nor  lot  in 
this  matter :  for  thy  heart  is  not  right  in 
the  sight  of  God. 

22  Repent,  therefore,  of  this  thy 
wickedness,  and  pray  God,  if  perhaps 
the  thought  of  thine  heart  may  be  for- 
given thee. 

23  For  1  perceive  that  thou  art  in  the 
gall  of  bitterness,  and  in  the  bond  of  in- 
iquity. 

24  Then  answered  Simon,  and  said. 
Pray  ye  to  the  Lord  for  me,  that  none 
of  these  tilings  which  ye  have  spoken 
come  upon  me. 

25  And  they,  when  they  had  testified 
and  preaclied  the  word  of  the  Lord,  re- 
turned to  Jerusalem,  and  preached  the 
gospel  in  many  villages  of  the  Samari- 
funs.

26  ^  And  the  angel  of  the  Lord  spake 
unto  Pliihp,  saying,  Arise,  and  go  to- 
ward the  south,  unto  the  way  that  go- 
etli  down  from  Jerusalem  unto  Gaza, 
which  is  desert. 

27  And  he  arose  and  went :  and,  be- 
hold,  a  man  of  Ethiopia,  an  eunuch  of 
great  authority  under  Candace  queen  of 
the  Ethiopians,  wlio  had  the  charge  of 
all  her  treasure,  and  had  come  to  Jeru- 
salem for  to  worship, 

28  Was  returning,  and,  sitting  in  bis 
chariot,  read  Esaias  the  prophet. 

29  Then  the  Spirit  said  unto  Philip, 
Go  near,  and  join  thyself  to  this  chariot. 

30  And  Philip  ran  thither  to  him,  and 
heard  him  read  the  prophet  Esaias,  and 
said,  Understandest  thou  what  thou 
readest  ? 

31  And  he  said.  How  can  I,  except 
some  man  should  guide  me  ?  And  he 
desired  Philip  that  he  would  come  up 
and  sit  with  him. 

32  '  The  place  of  the  scripture  which 
he  read  was  this.  He  was  led  as  a  sheep 
to  the  slaughter  ;  and  like  a  lamb  dumb 
before  his  shearer,  so  opened  he  not  his

33  In  his  humiliation  his  judgment 
was  taken  away  ;  and  who  shall  declare, 
his  generation  ?  for  his  life  is  taken  from 
the  earth. 

34  And  the  eunuch  answered  Philip, 
and  said,  I  pray  thee,  of  whomspeaketh 
the  prophet  this  ?  of  himself,  or  of  some 
other  man  ? 

35  Then  Pliilip  opened  his  mouth,  and 
began  at  tlie  same  scripture,  and  preach- 
ed unto  him  Jesus. 

36  And,  as  they  went  on  their  way, 
they  came  unto  a  certain  water .-  and 
the  eunuch  said.  See,  here  is  water ; 
what  doth  hinder  me  to  be  baptized  .' 

37  •'  And  Philip  said.  If  thou  believest 
with  all  thine  heart  thou  mayest.  And 
he  answered  and  said,  1  believe  that  Je- 
sus Christ  is  the  Son  of  God. 

38  And  he  commanded  the  chariot  to 
standstill:  and  they  went  down  both  into 
the  water,  both  Philip  and  the  eunuch  ; 
and  he  baptized  him. 

39  '  And,  when  they  were  come  up 
out  of  the  water,  the  Spirit  of  the  Lord 
caught  away  Philip,  that  the  eunuch 
saw  him  no  more  :  and  he  went  on  his 
way  rejoicing. 

40  ">  But  Philip  was  fouiwi  at  Azotus  : 
and,  passing  through,  he  preached  in 
all  the  cities,  till  he  came  to  Cesarea.

1  Peter  accused Jor  going  to  the  Gentiles. 
19  The  gospel  preached  in  onany  places. 
26  The  disciples  first  called  Christians 
at  Antioch.  27  Agabus  prophesieth  of 
a  great  dearth  throughout  the  ivorld. 

^  AND  the  apostles  and  brethren.  °q^^^/ 
that  were  in  Judea,  heard  that  tlie  Gen- 
tiles  had  also  received  the  word  of  God. 

2  •>  And  when  Peter  was  come  up  to  *  chap. 
Jerusalem,  they  that  were  of  the  circum-     '  ' 
cision  contended  with  him, 

3  <^  Saying,  Thou  wentest  in  to  men  l^^^' 
uncircumcised,  and  didst  eat  with  them. 

4  But  Peter  rehearsed  the  onatter 
from  the  beginning,  and  expounded  it 
by  order  unto  them,  sajing, 

5^1  was  in  the  city  of  Joppa  praying :  ^  ^^^T?- 
and  in  a  trance  I  saw  a  vision,  A  certain 
vessel  descend,  as  it  had  been  a  great 
sheet,   let  down  from  heaven  by  four 
comers  ;  and  it  camb  even  to  me  : 

6  Upon  ihe  which,  when  I  had  fast- 
ened mine  eyes,  1  considered,  and  saw 
four-footed  beasts  of  the  earth,  and  wild 
beasts,  and  creeping  things,  and  fowls 
of  the  air. 

7  And  I  heard  a  voice  saying  unto 
me.  Arise,  Peter  ;  slay  and  eat. 

8  But  I  said.  Not  so.  Lord  ;  for  no- 
thing  common  or  unclean  hath  at  any 
time  entered  into  my  mouth. 

9  But  the  voice  answered  me  again 
from  heaven.  What  God  hath  cleansed, 
that  call  not  thou  common. 

10  And  this  was  done  three  times  : 
and  all  were  drawn  up  again  into  hea- 
ven. 

11  And,  behold,  immediately  there 
were  three  men  already  come  unto  the 
house  where  I  was,  sent  from  Cesaiea 
unto  me. 

12  And  the  spirit  bade  me  go  with 
them,  nothing  doubting.  Moreover, 
these  six  brethren  accompanied  me, 
and  we  entered  into  the  man's  house  : 

13  And  he  shewed  us  how  he  had 
seen  an  angel  in  his  house,  which  sto.>d 
and  said  unto  him,  Send  men  to  Joppa,

and  call  for  Simon,  whose  surname  is 
Peter ; 

1 4  Who  shall  tell  thee  words,  where- 
by thou  and  all  thy  house  shall  be 
saved. 

15  '-  And  as  I  began  to  speak,  the 
Holv  Ghost  fell  on  them,  as  on  us  at  the 
beg-inning. 

16  f  Then  remembered  I  the  word  of 
the  Lord,  how  that  he  said,  John  indeed 
baptized  with  water ;  but  ye  shall  be 
baptized  with  the  Holy  Ghost 

17  Forasmuch  then  as  God  gave  them 
the  like  gift  as  he  did  unto  us  who  be- 
lieved on  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ;  what 
was  I  that  I  could  withstand  God  ? 

18  When  they  heard  these  things 
they  held  their  peace,  and  glorified 
God,  saying.  Then  hath  God  also  to 
the  Gentiles  granted  repentance  unto 
life. 

19  51  g  Now  they  which  were  scattered 
abroad,  upon  the  persecution  that  arose 
about  Stephen,  travelled  as  far  as  Phe- 
nice,  and  Cyprus,  and  Antioch,  preach- 
ing the  word  to  none  but  unto  the  Jews 
only. 

20  And  some  of  them  were  men  of 
Cyprus  and  Cyrene,  which  when  they 
were  come  to  Antioch,  spake  unto  the 
Grecians,  preaching  the  Lord  Jesus. 

21  h  And  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was 
with  them  :  and  a  great  number  be- 
lieved, and  turned  imto  the  Lord. 

22  ^  Then  tidings  of  these  things 
came  unto  the  ears  of  the  church  which 
was  in  Jerusalem:  and  they  sent  forth 
Barnabas,  that  he  should  go  as  far  as 
Antioch  : 

23  Who  when  he  came,  and  had  seen 
the  grace  of  God,  was  glad,  and  ex- 
horted them  all,  that  with  purpose  of 
heart,  they  would  cleave  unto  the 
Lord. 

24  For  he  was  a  good  man,  and  full 
of  the  Holy  Ghost,  and  of  faith  :  and 
much  people  was  added  unto  the  Lord. 

25  '  Then  departed  Barnabas  to  Tar- 
sus for  to  seek  Saul : 

26  And  when  he  had  found  him,  he 
brought  him  unto  Antioch.  And  it 
came  to  pass,  '.hat  a  whole  year  they 
assembled  themselves  with  the  church, 
and  taught  much  people.  And  the  dis- 
ciples were  called  Christians  first  in 
Antioch. 

27  ^^  And  in  these  days  came  pro- 
phets from  Jerusalem  unto  Antioch. 

28  And  there  stood  up  ore  of  them, 
named  Agabus,  and  signified  by  the 
Spirit  that  there  should  be  great  deartij 
throughout  all  the  wirld  :  which  came 
to  pass  in  the  days  of  Claudius  Ceaar. 

29  1  Then  'he  disciples,  e- ery  man 
according  to  his  ability,  determined  ta 
send  relief  unto  the  brethren  whic! 
dwelt  in  Judea: 

30  Which  also  they  did,  and  sent  it 
to  the  elders,  by  the  hands  of  Barnabas 
and  Saul. 


CHAP.  XII. 


1  Herod  persecuteth  the  Christians .-    20 
his  pride,  and  miserable  death. 

NOW,  about  that  time,  Herod  the 
king  stretched  forth  his  hands  to  vex 
certain  of  the  church. 

2  »  And  he  killed  James,  the  brother 
of  John,  with  the  sword. 

3  And,  because  he  saw  it  pleased  the 
Jews,  he  proceeded  further  to  take  Pe- 
ter also.  (Then  were  the  days  of  un- 
leavened bread.) 

4  b  And,  when  he  had  apprehended 
him,  he  put  him  in  prison,  and  deliver- 
ed him,  to  four  quaternions  of  soldiers 
to  keep  him  :  intending  after  Easter  to 
bring  him  forth  to  the  people. 

5  Peter,  therefore,  was  kept  in  pri- 
son ;  but  prayer  was  made  without  ceas- 
ing of  the  church  unto  God  for  him. 

6  And,  when  Herod  would  have 
brought  him  forth,  the  same  night  Pe- 
ter was  sleeping  between  two  soldiers, 
bound  with  two  cnains  :  and  the  keep- 
ers before  the  door  kept  the  prison. 

7  And,  behold,  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
came  upon  A/tn,  and  a  light  shined  in 
the  prison  :  and  he  smote  Peter  on  the 
side,  and  raised  him  up,  saying,  Arise 
up  quickly.  And  his  chains  fell  off  from 
his  hands. 

8  And  the  angel  said  unto  him.  Gird 
thyself,  and  bind  on  thy  sandals.  Andsa 
he  did.  And  he  saith  unto  him.  Cast 
thy  garment  about  thee  and  follow  me. 

9  And  he  went  out,  and  followed  him ; 
and  wist  not  that  it  was  true  which  was 
done  by  the  angel :  but  thought  he  saw 
a  vision. 

10  When  they  were  past  the  first  and 
the  second  ward,  they  came  unto  the 
iron  gate  that  leadeth  unto  the  citj', 
which  opened  to  them  of  his  own  accord: 
and  they  went  out,  and  passed  on  thr  u^h 
one  street ;  and  forthwith  the  angel  de- 
parted from  him. 

11  A:  d,  when  Peter  was  come  to 
himself,  he  said,  Now  I  know  of  a  surety 
that  the  Lord  hath  sent  his  angel,  and 
hath  delivered  me  out  of  the  hand  of 
Herod,  3Lndfro7n  all  the  expectation  of 
the  people  of  the  Jews. 

12  =  And  when  he  had  considered  the 
thing,  he  came  to  the  house  of  Man  the 
mother  of  John,  whose  surname  was 
Mark;  where  many  were  gathered  to- 
gether, praying 

13  And,  as  Peter  knocked  at  the 
door  of  the  gate,  a  damsel  came  to 
hearken,  named  Rhnda. 

14  And, «  hen  she  knew  Peter's  voice, 
she  opened  not  the  gate  for  gladness, 
but  ran  in,  and  told  how  Peter  stood  be- 
fore the  gate. 

15  'I  And  they  said  unto  her,  Thou 
trt  mad.  But  she  constantly  affirmed 
t'.iat  it  V.  as  even  so.  Then  said  they,  It 
is  his  ai  gel. 

16  But  Peter  continued  knocking:

THE  ACTS. 


Paul  preacheth  at  Antioch 


ar.d,  when  'hey  had  opened  the  (ioor  aiT

"v^V'-O  ^7  But  he,  beckfinuii^  unto  ihem  wit!'

unto  them  how  the  Lord  had  brDiight 
him  out  of  ihe  prison.  And  he  s;vid, 
Go  shew  these  thing^s  unto  James,  and 
to  the  brethren.  And  he  departed,  and 
went  into  another  place. 

18  Now,  as  soon  as  it  was  day,  there 
was  no  small  slir  among-  the  soidiers 
what  was  become  of  Peter. 

19  And  when  Herod  h^d  sought  for 
him,  and  found  him  not,  he  examined 
the  keepers,  and  commanded  that  the\/ 
should  be  put  to  death.  And  he  went 
down  from  Judea  to  Cesarea,  and  there 
abode. 

«i  Kings  20  ^  «  And  Herod  was  highly  dis- 
Ezekiel  p'eased  wiih  them  of  Tyre  and  Sidon: 
37.  n.       but  they  came  with  one  accord  to  him, 

and,   liaving  made   BlHstus  the  kind's 

ciiamnerlain  their  friend,  desired  peace ; 

because  their  country  was  nourished  b)' 

the  king's  country. 

21  And  upon  a  set  day,  Herod,  array- 
ed in  royal  apparel,  sat  upon  his  throne, 
and  made  an  ora'ion  unto  them. 

22  And  the  people  gave  a  shout,  say- 
ing. It  is  the  voice  of  a  god,  and  nut  of 
a  man. 

23  And  immediately  the  angel  of  the 
Lord  smote  him,  because  he  gave  not 
God  the  grlory:  and  he  was  eaten  of 
worms,  a-^'d  gave  up  the  ghost. 

24  H  f  But  the  word  of  God  grew  and 
multiphed.

saying.  That  it  was  needful  to  circum- 
cise them,  and  to  command  fAewt  to 
keep  the  law  of  Moses. 

6  And  the  apostles  and  elders  came 
together  for  to  consider  of  this  matter. 

7  =  And,  when  there  had  been  much 
disputing,  Peter  rose  up,  and  said  unto 
them.  Men  ««c/ brethren,  ye  know  how 
that  a  t^ood  while  ago  God  made  choice 
among'  us,  that  the  Gentiles  by  m> 
mouth  should  hear  the  word  of  the  gos- 
pel, and  believe. 

8  *  And  God,  which  knowetli  the 
hearts,  bare  them  witness,  giving  them 
the  Holy  Ghost,  even  as  he  did  unto  us  ; 

9  g  And  put  no  difference  between  us 
and  them,  purifying  their  hearts  by 
faith. 

10  h  Now,  therefore,  why  tempt  ye 
God  to  put  a  yoke  upon  the  neck  of  the 
disciples,  which  neither  our  fathers  nor 
we  were  able  to  bear  ? 

11  '  But  we  believe  that,  through  the 
grace  of  the  Lord  Jesus  Christ,  we 
shall  be  saved  even  as  they. 

12  U  ^  Then  all  the  multitude  kepi 
silence,  and  gave  audience  to  Barnabas 
and  Paul,  declaring  what  miracles  and 
wonders  God  had  wrought  among  the 
Gentiles  by  them. 

13  ^  '  And,  after  they  had  held  their 
peace,  James  answered,  saying,  Men 
ant/ brethren,  hearken  unto  me. 

14  ■"  Simeon  hath  declared  how  God 
at  the  first  did  visit  the  Gentiles,  to  take 
out  of  them  a  people  for  his  name. 

15  And  to  this  agree  the  words  of  the 
prophets  ;  as  it  is  written, 

16  "  After  this  I  will  return,  and  will 
build  again  the  tabernacle  of  David, 
which  is  fallen  down  j  and  I  will  build 
again  the  ruins  thereof,  and  I  will  set  it 
lip; 

17  That  the  residue  of  men  might 
seek  after  the  Lord,  and  all  the  Gen- 
tiles upon  whom  my  name  is  called, 
saith  the  Lord,  who  doeih  all  these 
things. 

18  Known  unto  God  are  all  his  works 
from  the  beginning  of  the  world. 

19  Wherefore  my  sentence  is,  that  we 
trouble  nat  them  wiiich  from  among  the 
Gentiles  are  turned  to  God  : 

20°  But  that  we  write  unto  them, 
that  they  abstain  from  pollutions  of  idols, 
and  from  fornication,  wndfrom  things 
sti'angled,  Viwdfrom  bloud. 

21  V  Fi>r  Mosfs  of  old  time  hath  in 
every  city  them  that  preach  him,  being 
read  in  the  synagogues  every  sabbath - 
day. 

22  *\  Then  pleased  it  the  apostles  and 
elders,  with  the  wiiolo  church,  to  send 
chi-senmenoftheirowri  company  to  An- 

•  ti'ich  with  Paul  andBainabas  ;  namely 
'  Judas,  surnamed  Barsabaa,  and  Silas, 
cliief  men  am  )n^"  th  i  In-.fhren  : 

24.  1  Cor.  5. 1, 9.  and  8.  1,  6.  and  10.  7, 14,  20,  28. 
and  4. 17.  1  Thess.  4. 3.  Heb.  12. 15,  1  Pet.  4,  3.

23  And  they  wrote  Utters  by  them  af-     -^'"w 
ter  this  manner ;  The  apostles,  and  cl-  "^jj"^^ 
ders,  and  brettiren,   send  greeting  unto  v.^vv^ 
the  brethren  which  are  of  the  Gentiles 

in  Antioch,  and  Syria,  and  Cilicia; 

24  '1  Forasmuch  as  we  have  heard,  ?  chap. 
that  certain  which  w  ent  out  from  us  have  verjes 
troubled  you  with   words,    subverting  i,  lo. 
your  souls,  saying,  Te  ■must  be  circum-  *^  j'/' *• 
cised,  and  keep  the  law  ;    to  whom  we  xitus 
gave  no  such  commandment :  i.  n- 

25  It  seemed  good  unto  us,  being  as-  J/Jg'"^ 
sembled  with  one  accord,  to  send  cho- 
sen men  unto  you,    with  our  beloved 
Barnabas  and  Paul  ; 

26  r  Men  that  have  hazarded  their  [^^f^/ 
lives  for  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus  an'dii'.ig. 
Christ. 

27  We  have  sent,  therefore,  Judas 
and  Silas,  who  shall  also  tell  yctc  the 
same  things  by  mouth. 

28  For  it  seemed  good  to  the  Holy 
Ghost,  and  to  us,  to  lay  upon  you  no 
greater  burden  than  these  necessary 
things  ; 

29  s  That  ye  abstain  from  meats  of-  j^.'^.^^nd 
fered   to   idols,    and  from   blood,   and  21,' 25. 
from  things  strangled,  and  from  fjrni- verse  20. 
cation  :    from  which,  if  ye  keep  your, 
selves  ye  shall  do  well.     Fare  ye  well. 

30  So  when  they  were  dismissed  they 
came  to  Antioch  ;  and  when  they  had 
gathered  the  multitude  together  they 
delivered  the  epistle  : 

31  Which  when  they  had  read,  they 
rejoiced  for  the  consolation.  ,, 

32  '  And  Judas  and  Silas,  being  pro-  14.  22.' 
phets   also   themselves,   exhorted  the  andi8.23. 
brethren  with  many   words,    and  con- 
firmed thon. 

33  And  after  they  had  tarried  there 
a  space,  they  were  let  go  in  peace  from 
the  brethren  unto  the  apostles. 

34  Notwithstanding,  it  pleased  Silas 

to  abide  there  still.  , . 

oS  "  Paul  also  and  Barnabas  continued  13.  if^' 
in  Antioch,  teaching  and  preaching  the  A.  D.  53. 
word  of  the  Lord,  with   many  others 

^'*"-  X  chap. 

36  ^  >:  And,  some   days    after,  Paul  13. 4, 13

and  visit  our   brethren  in    every  city  "' 
where  we  have  preached  the  word  of

37  y  And  Barnabas   determined

was  Mark.  Ji'-*- 

38  ^  But  Paul  thought  not  good  to  2  xlm

1  Paul  circinnciseth  Timothy,  14  con- 
vcrteth  Lydia,  16  and  casteth  out  a 
spirit  of  diTirtatinn,  &C. 

»  THENcamehetoDerbeandLy- 
stra :  and,  behold,  a  certain  disciple 
was  there,  named  Timotheiis,  the  son 
of  a  certain  woman  whicli  was  a  Jewess, 
and  believed ;  but  his  father  ivas  a 
Greek  : 

2  ''  Which  was  well  reported  of  by 
the  brethren  that  were  at  Lystra  and 
Iconium  : 

3  ■=  Him  would  Paul  have  to  go  forth 
with  him  ;  and  took  and  circumcised 
him,  because  of  the  Jews  which  were 
in  those  quarters  :  for  they  knew  all 
that  his  father  was  a  Greek. 

4  d  And,  as  they  went  through  the 
cities,  they  delivered  them  the  decrees 
for  to  keep,  that  were  ordained  of  the 
apostles  and  elders  which  were  at  Je- 
rusalem. 

5  And  so  were  tlie  churches  esiablish- 
ed  in  the  faith,  and  increased  in  num- 
ber daily. 

6  Now,  when  they  had  gone  tln'ough- 
out  Phrj'gia  and  the  region  of  Galatia, 
and  were  forbidden  of  the  Holy  Ghost 
to  preach  the  word  in  Asia, 

7  Afier  they  were  come  to  Mysia, 
they  assayed  to  go  into  Bithynia :  but 
the  Spirit  suffered  them  not. 

8  e  And  ihcj',  passing  by  Mysia,  came 
down  to  Troas. 

9  U  And  a  vision  appeared  to  Paid  in 
the  night ;  There  stood  a  man  'if  Ma- 
cedonia, and  prayed  him,  saying,  Come 
over  into  Macedonia,  and  help  us. 

10  f  And,  after  he  had  seen  the  vision, 
immediately  we  endeavoured  to  go  into 
Macedonia,  assuredly  gathering  that 
the  Lord  had  called  us  for  to  preach 
the  gijspel  unto  them. 

1 1  Tiierefore,  loosing  from  Troas,  we 
came  with  a  straight  course  to  Samo- 
thracia,  and  the  next  day  to  Neapolis  ; 

12  And  from  thence  to  Philippi,  which 
is  the  chief  city  of  (hat  part  of  Mace- 
donia, and  a  colony :  and  we  were  in 
thra  C'.ty  abiding  certain  days. 

13  g  And  on  tiie  sabbath  we  went  out 
of  the  city  by  a  river-side,  where  prayer 
was  wont  to  be  made  ;  and  we  ••at  down, 
and  spake  unto  tlie  women  which  re- 
soi  ted  thither. 

14  f  And  a  certain  woman  named 
Lydia,  a  seller  of  purj)le,  of  the  city  of 
Thyatiia,  which  worshipped  God,  heard 
us  :  whose  heart  the  Lord  opened,  that 
she  attended  unto  the  things  which  were 
spoken  of  Paul. 

15  ''  And  when  she  was  baptized, 
and  her  hous  hold,  i^he  besought  us, 
saying,  If  je  ijave  judged  me  to  be 
faithful  to  the  Lord,  com^  into  my 
hi  use,  and  abide  ihcc.  And  she  con- 
ji rained  us.

16  ^  >  And  it  came  to  pass,    as  we  _''^'''»° 
went  to  prayer,  a  certain  damsel  pos-  ^*^^|^NI 
sessed  with  a  spirit  of  f  divination  met  i,^^>^ 
us,  which  brought  her  masters  much  i  i  Sam. 
gain  by  soothsay  in  ;.t:  23.7. 

17  The  same  followed  Paul  and  us,  19^24.^'^ 
and  cried,  saying.  These  men  are  the  t  Gr. 
servants  of  the  most  high  God,  whicn  ^^^f^""' 
shew  unto  us  the  way  of  salvation.  la.  10. 

18  "  And  this  did  she  many  days.  But  *  ^i^*-- 
Paul,  being  grieved,  turned,  and  said     '   '' 

o  the  Spirit,  I  command  thee,  in  the 
name  of  Jesus  Christ,  to  come  out  of 
her.     And  he  came  out  the  same  hour. 

19^  '  And,  when   her   ma.sters  saw  /2Cor, 
that  the  hope  of  their  gains  was  gone,  5. 6. 
they  caught  Paul  and  Silas,  and  drew 
thetn  into  the  market-place  unto  the  ru- 
It-rs, 

20  "^  And  brought  them  to  the  ma-  miKirgs 
gistrates,    saying.    These  men,    bein:;  Jhaptl-r 
Jews,  do  exceedingly  trouble  our  city,  17. 6. 

21  And  teach  customs  which  are  not 
lawful  for  us  to  receive,  neither  to  ob- 
serve, being  Romans. 

22  n  And  the  multitude  rose  up  to-  «2Cor. 
gether   against  them ;   and  the  magi-  pi"ii_ ' 
strates  rent  off  their  clothes,    and  com-  1. 13. 
manded  to  beat  them.  \  Thess. 

23  °  And,  when  they  had  laid  many  oLuke 
stripes  upon  them,  they  cast  them  into  i"-  3c. 
prison,  charging  the  jailor  to  keep  them  22^78. 
safely  : 

24  Who,  having  received  such  a 
charge,  tlirust  them  into  the  inner  pri- 
son, and  made  their  feet  fast  in  the 
stocks. 

25  ^  p  And  at  midnight  Paul  and  Si-  P  cliap, 
las  prayed,  and  sang  praises  unto  God  ;  \'  ^|]  ^"^ 
and  the  prisoners  heard  them. 

26  q  And  suddenly  there  was  a  great  Q  "^''''P;, , 
earthquake,  so  that  the  foundations  oi  {2.7. 
the  prison  were  shaken :  and  immedi- 
ately all   the  doors  were  opened,  and 
every  one's  bands  were  loosed. 

27  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison  awak- 
ing out  of  bis  sleep,  and  seeing  the  pri- 
son doors  open,  he  drew  out  his  sword, 
and  would  have  killed  himself,  sup- 
posing that  the  prisoners  had  been 
fled. 

28  But  Paul  cried  with  a  loud  voice, 
saying.  Do  thyself  no  harm  ;  for  we  are 
all  here. 

29  Tiien  he  called  for  a  light,  and 
sprang  in,  and  came  trembling,  and 
fell  down  before  Paul  and  Silas, 

30  f  And  brought  them  out,  and  said,  '"l-uke

35  And  when  it  was  day  the  magi-

those  men  go. 

36  And  the  keeper  of  the  prison  told 
tliis  saying  to  Paul,  The  magistrates 
have  seat  to  let  you  go  :  now,  therefore, 
depart,  and  go  in  peace. 

57  '  But  Paul  said  unto  them,  They

prison  ;  and  now  do  they  thrust  us  out

%ent  away  Paul  and  Silas  by  night  unto        j^ 
Berea  :  who,  cominc^  thither,  went   in-  ^•v'vj 
to  tlie  synagogue  of  the  Jews.  /chap. 

11  ?  Tiiese    were   more  noble   than  ^'I'sajaij 
those  in  Thessalonica,  in  that  they  re-  34. 16. 
ceived  the  word  with  all   readiness  of  Luke 
mind,  and  searched  the  scriptures  daily,  joii^^j_ 
whether  those  things  vi^ere  so.  39.  and 

12  Therefore  many  of  them  believed  ;  ^-  ^^* 
also  of  honourable  women  which  were 
Greeks,  and  of  men  not  a  few. 

13  •[  ii  But  when  the  Jews  of  Thessa-  /iiThess. 
lonica  had  knowledge  that  the  word  of  2.4. 

j  God  was  preached  of  Paul  at  Berea, 
!  they  came  thither  also,  and  stirred  up 
1  the  people. 

!      14  '  And  then  immediately  the  bre-  /Mat. 
Ij  thren  sent  away  Paul,  to  go  as  it  were  10. 23.

I  bode  there  still.  is.  1. 

1      15  k  And  they  that  conducted  Paul  *  verses 
■  brought  him  unto  Athens  :  and,  receiv-  ^{^^pter 
I  ing  a  commandment  unto  Silas  and  Ti-  13. 5. 
I'motheus  for  to  come  to  him  with  all 

speed,  thev  departed. 

16l[iNow,    while   Paul  waited  for  /  2  Peter 

them  at  Athens,  his  spirit  was  stirred  \^^  g^ 

in  him,  when  he  saw  the  city  wholly 

given  to  idolatry. 

17  ■"  Therefore  disputed  he  in  the'«ver.4. 
synagogue  with  the  Jews,  and  with  the 
devout  persons,  and  in  the  market  daily 

with  them  that  met  with  him. 

18  Then  certain  philosophers  of  the 
Epicureans,  and  of  the  Stoicks,  en- 
countered him.  And  some  said,  What 
will  this  babbler  say  ?  other  some.  He 
seemeth  to  be  a  setter  forth  of  strange 
gods  :  because  he  preached  unto  them 
Jesws,  end  the  restirrection. 

I      19  And  they  took  him,  and  brought 
I  him  unto  Areopagus,  saying,  May  we 
'  knov/  what  this  new  doctrine,   whereof 
ihou  speakest,  is? 

20  For  thou  bringest  certain  strange 
things  to  our  ears  :  we  would  know, 
therefore,  what  these  things  mean. 

21  (For  all  the  Athenians,  and  stran- 
gers which  were  there,  spent  their  time 
in  nothing  else  but  either  to  tell  or  to 
hear  some  new  thing.) 

22  1;  Then  Paul  stood  in  the  midst  of 
Mars-hill,  and  said,  2  c  men  of  Athens, 
I  perceive  that  in  all  things  ye  are  too 
superstitious. 

23  For  as  I  passed  by  and  beheld  your . 
devotions,   I  found   an  altar  with  this 
inscription,   TO    THE    UNKNOWN

sians. 

29  s  Ami  the  whole  cit}^  was  filled 
with  confusion :  and,  having  caug-ht 
Gaius  and  Aristarchus,  men  of  Mace- 
donia, Paul's  companions  in  travel,  Ihey 
rushed  with  one  accord  into  the  lliea- 
fre. 

30  And  when  Paul  would  have  enter- 
ed in  unto  the  people,  the  disciples  suf- 
fered him  not. 

31  And  certain  of  the  chief  of  Asia, 
which  were  his  friends,  sent  unto  him, 
desiring  him  that  he  would  not  adven- 
ture himself  into  the  theatre. 

32  Some,  therefore,  cried  one  thing-, 
and  some  another;  for  the  assembly- 
was  confused ;  and  the  more  part  knew 
not  wherefore  they  were  come  toge- 
ther. 

33  ^  And  they  drew  Alexander  out  of 
the  multitude,'  the  Jews  putting  him 
forward.  And  Alexander  beckoned 
with  the  hand,  and  wotild  have  made 
his  defence  unto  the  people. 

34  But  when  they  knew  that  he  was 
a  Jew,  all  with  one  voice,  about  the 
space  of  two  hours,  cried  out.  Great  is 
Diana  of  the  Ephesians. 

35  And  when  the  town-clerk  had  ap- 
peased the  people  lie  said,  Te  men  of 
Epliesus,  what  m.an  is  there  t hat  knoweth 
not  how  that  the  city  of  the  Ephesians 
,■3  a  worsliipper  ot  the  great  goddess 
J3iana,  and  of  the  image  which  fell 
dov.'n  from  Jupiter? 

36  Seeing  then  that  these  things  can- 
not be  spol;en  against,  ye  ought  to  be 
quiet,  and  to  do  nothing  rashly. 

37  For  ye  have  brought  hither  these 
men,  which  are  neither  robbers  of 
churches,  nor  yet  blasphemers  of  your 
goddess. 

38  Wherefore  if  Demetrius,  and  the 
craftsmen  which  are  witli  him,  have  a 
matfer  agauist  any  man,  the  law  is 
open,  and  there  are  deputies  ;  let  them 
implead  one  another. 

39  But  if  ye  enquire  any  thing  con- 
cerning other  matters  it  shall  be  deter- 
mined in  a  lawful  assembly. 

40  For  we  are  in  dang-er  to  be  called 
in  question  for  this  day's  uproar,  there 
being  no  cause  whereby  we  may  give 
an  account  of  this  concourse. 

41  And,  when  he  had  thus  spoken, 
he  dismissed  the  assembly.

'"  AND  after  the  uproar  was  ceas- 
ed, Paid  called  unto  him  the  disciples, 
and  embraced  them,  and  departed  iin- 
to  go  into  Mar-cdonia. 

2  And  when  he  iiad  gone  over  those 
parts,  and  had  given  them  much  exhor- 
tation, he  can-/e  into  Greece. 


3  ''  And  there  abode  three  months : 
and  when  the  Jews  laid  wait  for  him, 
as  he  was  about  to  sail  into  Syria,  he  pur- 
posed to  rettu'n  through  Macedonia. 

4  ^  And  tliere  accompanied  him  into 
Asia,  Sopater  of  Berea :  and  of  the 
Thessalonians,  Aristarcluis  and  Secun- 
dus  ;  and  Gaius  of  Derbe,  and  Timo- 
theus ;  and  of  Asia,  Tj  cliicus  and  Tro- 
phimus. 

5  These,  g'oing  before,  tarried  for  us 
at  Troas. 

6  And  we  sailed  away  from  Philippi 
after  the  dajs  of  unleavened  bread,  and 
came  unto  them  to  Troas  in  five  days ; 
where  we  abode  seven  days. 

7  ^  ''  And,  upon  the  first  day  of  the 
week,  when  tiie  disciples  came  together 
to  break  bread,  Paul  preached  unto 
them,  ready  to  depart  on  the  morrow, 
and  continued  his  speech  until  mid- 
night. 

8  And  there  were  many  lights  in  the 
upper  chamber  where  they  were  gather- 
ed together. 

9  And  there  sat  in  a  window  a  cer- 
tain young  man  named  Eutychus,  being 
fallen  into  a  deep  sleep :  and  as  Paul 
was  long  preaching,  he  sunk  down  with 
sleep,  and  fell  down  from  the  third  loft, 
and  was  taken  up  dead. 

10  =  And  Paul  went  down  and  fell  on 
him,  and,  embracing  liim,  said,  Trou- 
ble not  yourselves,  for  his  life  is  in  him. 

11  When  he,  therefore,  was  come  up 
again,  and  had  broken  bread,  and  eaten, 
and  talked  a  long  while,  even  till  break 
of  day,  so  he  departed. 

12  And  they  brought  the  young  man 
alive,  and  were  not  a  little  comforted. 

13  ^  And  we  went  before  to  ship, 
and  sailed  unto  Assos,  there  intending 
to  take  in  Paul  :  for  so  h.ad  lie  appoint- 
ed, minding  himself  to  go  atbot. 

14'And  when  he  met  with  us  at  Asso?, 
we  took  him  in,  and  came  to  Mitylene. 

15  And  we  sailed  thence,  and  came 
the  next  day  over  against  Chios :  and 
the  next  day  we  arrived  at  Samos,  and 
tarried  at  I'rogyllium  ;  and  the  next  da)' 
we  cajTie  to  Miletus. 

16  f  For  Paul  had  dcterm.lned  to  sail 
by  Ephcsus,  because  he  would  not  spend 
the  time  in  Asia  ;  for  he  hasted,  if  it 
were  possible  for  him  to  be  at  Jerusa- 
lem  the  day  of  Pentecost. 

17  ^[  And  from  Miletus  he  sent  to 
Ephcsus,  and  called  the  elders  of  the 
church. 

18  e  And  when  they  were  come  to 
him,  he  said  unto  tl-.em.  Ye  know,  from 
the  first  day  that  I  came  into  Asia,  af- 
ter what  manner  I  have  been  with  you

23  P  Do,  therefore,  this  that  we  say 
to  thee  :  We  have  four  men  which  have 
a  vow  on  them : 

24  Them  take,  and  purify  thyself 
with  them,  and  be  at  charges  with  them, 
th.at  tliey  may  shave  their  heads:  and 
all  raiy  know  that  those  things,  where- 
of they  were  informed  concerning  thee, 
are  nothing  ;  but  tknt  thou  thyself  also 
walkest  orderly,  and  keepest  the  law. 

25  -1  As  touching  the  Gentiles  which 
beheve,  we  have  written  and  conclu- 
ded,  that  they  observe  no  such  thing, 
save  only  that  they  keep  themselves 
from  things  offered  to  idols,  and  from 
blood,  and  from  strangled,  and  from 
fornication. 

26  r  Then  Paul  took  the  men,  and  the 
next  day,  purifying  himself  witix  them, 
entered  into  the  temple,  t')  signify  the 
accomplisliment  of  the  days  of  purifica- 
tion, until  that  an  offering  should  be 
ori'ered  for  every  one  of  them. 

27  U  And,  when  the  seven  days  were 
almost  ended,  the  Jews  which  were  of 
Asia,  when  they  saw  him  in  tlie  temple, 
.ttirred  up  all  the  people,  and  laid  ha^ids 
on  him,

Paul,  and  drew  him  out  of  the  temple  :  ^^^^^

31  Ai'.d  as  they  went  about  to  kill

in  an  uproar :

34  And  some  cried  one  thing,  some 
another,  among  the  multitude :  and, 
when  he  could  n  it  know  the  certainty 
for  the  tumult,  he  commanded  him  to 
be  carried  into  the  castle. 

oS  And,  when  he  came  upon  the 
stairs,  so  it  was  that  he  was  borne  of 
the  soldiers  for  the  violence  of  the 
people.

followed  after,  crying.  Away  with  him.  jokn

before  these  days  madest  an  uproar,

bear  witness  also  at  Rome. 

12  >  And,  when  it  was  day,  certain 
of  the  Jews  banded  ti^gether,  and  bound 
themselves  under  a  curse,  saying  that 
thev  would  neither  eat  nor  drink  till  they 
had  killed  Paul. 

13  And  they  were  more  than  forty 
which  had  made  this  conspiracy. 

14  And  they  came  to  the  chief  priests 
and  elders,  and  said.  We  have  bound 
ourselves  under  a  great  curse,  that  we 
will  eat  nothing  until  we  have  slaia 
Paul. 

15  I'  Now,  therefore,  ye  with  the

he  bring  him  down  unto  you  to-morrow, 
as  though  ye  would  enquire  something 
more  perfectly  concerning  him  ;  and  we, 
or  ever  he  come  near,  are  ready  to  kill 
him. 

16  And  when  Paul's  sister's  son  heard 
of  their   lying  in  wait,    he   went   an 
entered  into  the  castle,    and  told  Paul. 

17  Then  Paul  called  one  of  the  cen-

youiig  man  unto  the  chief  captain  ; 
for  he  hath  a  certain  thing  to  teU  him,

2  And,  when  he  was  called  forth.. 
TertuUus  began  to  accuse  him.  sayug. 
Seeintj  that  by  thee  we  enjoy  gre-.' 
quietness,  and  that  very  worthy  deeds 
are  done  unto  this  nation  by  thy  provi- 
dence, 

3  We  accept  it  al  vays,  and  in  all 
places,  most  noble  Fehx,  with  all  thank- 
fulness. 

4  Notwithstanding-,  thai  I  be  not  fur 
ther  tedious  unto  thee,  I  pray  the^-  that 
thou  wouldest  hear  us  of  tiiy  clemency 
a  few  words. 

5  •>  For  we  liave  found  this  man  a 
f  pestilent /e/^ra,  and  a  mover  of  sedi- 
tion amon?  all  the  Jews  throughout  the 
world,  and  a  ringleader  of  the  sect  of 
the  Nizarenes  : 

6  Who  also  hath  gone  abr-.ut  to  pro- 
fane the  temple  ;  whom  we  took,  and 

•ould  liave   judged  according  to  our 
law  : 

7  But  the  rhef  captain  Lysias  came 
upon  us,  and  with  great  violeace  took 
him.  away  out  of  our  hasids, 

8  -  Comma-iding  his  accusers  to  come 
unto  thee :  by  examining  of  whom, 
thyself  mayest  take  knowledge  of  all 
these  things  whereof  we  accuse  him. 

9  And  the  Jews  also  assented,  say- 
ing, tiiat  these  things  were  so. 

\0  fl  Then  Paul,  after  that  the  go- 
vernor had  beckoned  unto  him  to  speak, 
answered.  Forasmuch  as  I  know  that 
thou  hast  been  of  many  years  a  jutlge 
unto  tills  nation,  I  do  the  more  cheer- 
fully answer  for  myself: 

11  fi  Because  that  thou  mayest  un- 
derstand, that  there  are  yet  but  twelve 
days  since  I  went  up  to  Jerusalem  for 
to  worship. 

12  =  And  they  neither  found  me  in 
the  temple  disputing  with  any  man, 
neither  raising  up  the  people,  neither 
in  the  s\  nagogues,  nor  in  the  city  : 

13  Neither  can  they  prove  the  things 
whereof  they  now  accuse  me. 

14  '  But  this  I  confess  unto  thee, 
hat  after  the  way  which  they  call  here- 
■;■  ,  so  worship  I  the  God  of  my  fathers, 
believing  all  things  which  are  written 
in  the  law  and  in  the  prophets  : 

15  ?  A' id  have  hope  toward  God, 
which  they  themselves  also  allow,  that 
'here  sliall  be  a  resurrection  of  the 
dead,  b.)th  of  the  just  and  unjust. 

16  ''  And  herein'do  I  exercise  myself, 
to  'iHve  always  a  conscience  Vi)id  ■  t 
oflence  toward  God,  and  tonvard  men. 

17  '  Now,  after  man  V  year-,  I  came  io

ty,  and  that  he  should  forbid  none  of 

his  acquaintance  to  minister  or  come

24  fl  And  after  certain  days,  when 
Felix  came  with  his  wife  Dnisilla, 
which  was  a  Jev.-ess,  he  sent  for  Paul, 
and  beard  him  concerning  the  faith  in 
Christ. 

25  And,  as  he  reasoned  of  righte- 
ousness, temperance,  and  judgment  to 
come,  Felix  trembled,  and  answered. 
Go  thy  way  for  thi=  lime  ;  when  I  have 
a  convenient  season  I  will  call  for  thee. 

26  He  honed  also  that  tnoney  should 
have  been  given  him  of  Paul,  that  he 
might  loose  him  :  wherefore  he  sent  for 
him  the  ofter.er,    and  communed  with 

him.  A.  D.62-

NOW  w  hen  Festus  was  come  into 
the  p/ovince.  after  three  days  he  ascend- 
ed from  Cesarea  to  Jerusalem. 

2  »  Then  the  high  priest,  and  the 
chief  of  the  Je\'.  s,  informed  him  against 
Paul,  and  besought  him, 

3  b  And  desired  favour  against  him, 
that  he  would  send  for  him  to  Jerusa- 
lem, la\ing  wait  in  the  way  to  kill  him. 

4  But  Festus  answered,  that  Paul 
should  be  kept  at  Cesarea,  and  that  he 
himself  would  depart  shortly  thither, 

5  Let  them,  therefore,  said  he,  which 
among  \ou  are  able,  go  down  w/rA  mc, 
and  accuse  this  man,  if  there  be  any 
vtickedness  in  him. 

6  And,  when  he  had  tarried  among 
them  more  than  ten  da's,  he  went

sitting  on  the  judgment-seat,  command-

I  appeal  unto  Cesar.

ferred with  the  Cornell,  answered,  Hast

Shalt  'hou  go. 

13  U  And  after  certain  days  king 
Agrippa  and  Bernice  cume  unto  Cesa- 
rea  to  salute  Festus. 

14  f  And,  when  they  had  been  there 
maiiyda\  s.  Festus  deciartd  Paul's  cause 
unto  the  king,  saying,  There  is  a  cer- 
tain man  left  in  b.-mds  by  Felix  : 

15  f  About  whom,  ^^  hen  I  was  at  Je- 
rusalem, the  chief  priests  and  the  elders 
of  the  Jews  informed  ine,  desiring  to 
Aijwf  judgment  against  him. 

16  g  To  whom  I  answered.  It  is  not 
the  manner  of  the  Romans  to  deliver 
any  man  to  die  before  that  he  which  ^s 
accused  liave  the  accusers  face  to  face, 
and  have  licence  to  answer  for  himself 
concerning  the  crime  laid  against  liim. 

17  Therefore,  when  they  were  come 
hither,  without  any  delay  on  the  mor- 
row I  sat  on  the  judgment-seat,  and  I 
commanded  the  man  to  be  brought 
forth : 

18  Against  whom,  when  the  accusers 
stood  up,  they  brougiit  none  accusation 
of  such  things  as  I  supposed  : 

19  ^  But  had  certain  questions  against 
him  of  their  own  superstition,  and  of  one 
Jesus  whicli  wa>s  dead,  whom  Paul  af- 
firmed to  be  alive. 

20  And,  because  I  doubted  of  such 
manner  of  questions,  I  asked  him  whe- 
ther he  would  go  to  Jerusalem,  and 
there  he  judgi^dof  these  matters. 

21  But  when  Paul  liad  apt>e,iled  to  | 
be  reserved  unto  the  lie.-tring  of  Augus-  j 
tus,  I  commanded  him  to  be  kept  till  I 
miglit  send  him  to  Cesar. 

22  Then  Agrippa  said  unto  Festu.^,  I 
would  also  hear  the  man  my.^.eif  To- 
morrow, s.iid  he,  thou  shall  hear  him. 

23  And  on  the  morrow,  when  Agrip-

locked  a  great  while,  and  saw  no  harm 
come  to  him,  they  changed  their  minds, 
and  said  that  he  was  a  god. 

7  In  the  same  quarters  were  posses- 
sions of  the  chief  man  of  the  island, 
whose  name  was  PubUus ;  who  re- 
ceived us,  and  lodged  us  three  da}'s 
courteously. 

8  =  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  the  fa-, 
ther  of  PubUus  lay  sick  of  a  fever,  aHd' 
of  a  bloody  flux  :  to  whom  Paul  entered  I 
in,  and  prayed,  and  laid  his  hands  on 
him,  and  healed  him.

which  had  diseases  in  the  island,  came

11  fl  And  after  three  months  we  de- 
parted in  a  ship  of  Alexandria,  which 
had  wintered  in  the  isle,  whose  sign 
was  t  Castor  and  Pollux. 

12  And  landing  at  Syracuse,  we  tar- 
ried there  three  days. 

13  And  from  thence  we  fetched  a  com- 
pass, and  came  to  Rhegium  :  and  after 
one  day  the  south  wind  blew,  and  we 
came  the  next  day  to  Puteoli ; 

14  Where  we  found  brethren,  and 
were  desired  to  tarrj-  with  them  seven 
days  :  and  so  we  went  toward  Rome. 

15  And  from  thence,  when  the  bre- 
thi-en  heard  of  us,  they  came  to  meet 
us  as  far  as  Appii  Forum  and  The 
Three  Taverns ;  whom,  when  Paul  saw, 
he  thanked  God,  and  took  courage. 

16  s  And  when  we  came  to  Rome  the 
centurion  delivered  the  prisoners  to  tlie 
captain  of  the  guard  :  but  Paul  was  suf- 
fered to  dwell  by  himself  with  a  soldier

8  Blessed  is  tiie  man  to  whom  the

9  Cometh  tiiis  blessedness  then  upsn

was  reckoned  to  Abraiiam  for  righte-

10  How  was  it  then  reckoned  ?  when 
he  was  in  circumcision,  or  in  uncircum- 
cision  ?  Net  in  circumcision,  but  in  un- 
circumcision. 

lis  And  he  received  the  sign  ef  cir- 
cumcision, a  seal  of  the  righteousness 
of  the  faith  which  lie  had,  yet  being  un- 
circumcised ;  that  he  might  be  the  fa- 
ther of  all  them  that  believe,  though 
they  be  not  circumcised;  that  righte- 
ous;;ess  might  be  imputed  unto  them 
also: 

12  And  the  fallier  of  circumcision  to 
them  who  are  not  of  the  circumcision 
only,  but  who  also  walk  in  the  steps  of 
that  faith  of  our  father  Abraham,  wiiich 
he  had,  being  yet  uncircumcised, 

13  I'  For  the  promise,  that  he  should 
be  the  heir  of  tlie  world,   Kas  not  to 

\braham,  or  to  his  seed,  through  the 
law,  but  througli  the  righteousness  of 
faith.

be  heirs,  faitli  is  made  void,  and  the

si'C  shall  be  called  an  adulteress  -.  but  if 
her  husband  be  dead,  she  is  free  from 
lh;it  law  ;  SO  tha  she  is  no  adulteress, 
t'High  she  be  married  lo  another 
man. 

4  J  Wherefre,  my  brethren,  ye  also 
are  become  dead  to  the  law  by  the  body 
of  Christ ;  that  ye  should  be  mnrried  to 
another,  ere;!  to  him  who  i.s  misfd  t'r>m 
the  dead,  that  we  should  bring-  forth 
fruit  unto  Gud. 

5  ■=  For  when  we  were  in  tlie  flesh, 
the  motions  of  sins,  which  v^cre  by  the 
law,  did  work  in  our  members  to  bring 
f,rth  fruit  unto  death.. 

6  f  But  now  we  are  delivered  from 
tiie  ]a.w,  that  being  dead  wherein  we 
uere  held  ;  that  we  sh-uUl  serve  in 
newness  of  spirit,  and  not  //;  the  old- 
n-^ss  of  the  letter. 

7  e  What  shall  we  say  tiien  ?  Is  the 
law  sin  ?  God  forbid.  Nay,  I  had  not 
known  uin  but  by  the  law  :  for  1  had 
not  knovn  lust,  except  the  law  had 
said,  Thou  shalt  not  covet. 

8  h  But  sin,  taking  occasii^.n  by  the 
commandment,  wTxught  ia  me  all  man- 
ner 'if  concupiscence.  For  without  the 
law  sin  nvas  dead. 

9  '  For  I  was  alive  without  the  law 
once  ;  but  when  the  commandment 
came  sin  revived,  and  1  died. 

10  ^  And  the  commandment,  which 
'uas  ordained  to  life,  I  found  to  be  unto 
death. 

11  '  For  sin,  taking  occasion  by  the 
commandment,  deceived  me,  and  by  it 
slew  me. 

12  -^  Wherefore  the  law  is  holy,  and 
the  commandment  holy,  and  just,  and 
good. 

13  "  Was  then  that  which-  is  good 
made  death  unto  me  ?  God  forbid.  But 
fin,  that  it  might  appear  sin,  working 
deaih  in  me  by  tl.at  which  is  good  ; 
that  sin  by  the  commandment  might 
become  exceeding  sinful. 

14  °  For  '.ve  know  that  the  lav  is  spi- 
ritual; but  I  am  carnal,  sold  under 
sin. 

15  p  For  that  which  I  do  I  f  allow 
not :  for  what  I  would,  that  do  I  not ; 
but  what  I  hate,  that  do  I. 

16  If  then  I  do  that  which  I  would 
not,  I  consent  unto  the  law  that  it  is 
good. 

17  Now  then,  it  is  no  more  I  that  do 
it,  but  sin  that  dwelleth  in  me. 

18  q  For  1  know  that  in  me  (that  is, 
in  my  flesh)  dwelleth  no  good  thing  : 
for  to  will  is  present  with  me  ;  but  /iow 
t)  perform  that  which  is  good  I  find 
not. 

19  For  the  good  that  I  m  ould  I  d 
not  :  but  the  evil  which  I  would  nc 
that  I  do. 

20  Now,  if  I  do  that  I  would  not, 
is  no  move  I  that  do  it,  but  sin  th 
dvV'lleth  in  me.

ethany  thing  to  be  unclean,  to  him  it  is 
unclean.

of  God.  All  things  indeed  are  pure : 
but  it  is  evil  for  that  man  who  eateth 
with  offence. 

21'  It  is  good  neither  to  eat  flesh, 
nor  to  drink  wine,  nor  any  thing  where- 
by thy  brother  siumbleth,  or  is  offend-

is  fornication    among^   you,    and  such 

fornication  as  is  not  so  much  as  named 

among  the  Gentiles,  that  one   should 

have  his  fatiier's  wife. 

2  *>  And  ye  are  puffed  up,  and  have 
not  rather  mourned  that  he  that  hath 
done  this  deed  might  be  taken  away 
from  among  yen. 

3  ^  Por  I  verily,  as  absent  in  bod;,-,  but 
present  in  spirit,  have  judged  alrea- 
dy, as  though  I  were  present,  con- 
cerning him  that  hath  so  done  this 
deed; 

4  "^  In  the  name  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  when  ye  aie  gathered  together,

Lord  Jesus  Chri.st,

the  Lord  Jesus. 

6  f  Your  glorying /5  not  good.  Know 
ye  not  that  a  little  leaven  leaveneth  tiie 
whole  lump  1 

7  s  Purge  out,  therefore,  the  old  lea- 
ven, that  ye  may  be  a  new  lump,  as  ye 
are  unleavened.  For  even  Christ  our 
passover  is  sacrificed  for  us  : 

8  J>  Therefore  let  us  keep  the  feast, 
not  with  old  leaven,  neither  with  the 
leaven  of  malice  and  wickedness  ;  but 
with  the  unleavened  bread  of  sincerity 
and  truth.

CHAP.  VI. 

1  Of  bringing  ccntroz-ersics  before  hea- 
then judges.  7  Ifoxv  laiv-suits  may  be 
avoided.     18  Flee  fornication. 

DARE  any  of  you,  having  a  matter 
against  another,  go  to  law  before  the 
unjust,  and  not  before  the  saii;ts  I 

2  =  Do  ye  net-know  that  the  saints 
shall  judge  the  wori^d  ?  and  if  the  world 
shall  be^  j^idged  by  )|ou,  are  ye  unwor- 
thy to  judge  the  smfdlest  matters  ' 

3  ^  Know  ye  not  that  we  shall  judgf- 
angels  ?  hoAV  mudi  more  things  thai 
pertain  to  this  litis  .' 

4  If  then  ye  have  judgments  of 
things  pertaining  to  this  life,  set  them 
to  judge  who  are  least  esteemed  in  the 
church. 

5  I  speak  to  your  shame.  Is  it  so 
that  there  is  not  awise  man  amongyou.' 
no,  not  one  tiiat  shall  be  able  to  judge 
between  his  brethren  ] 

6  'But  brother  goeth  to  law  with 
brother,  and  that  before  the  unbeliev- 
ers. 

7  Now,  therefore,  there  is  utterly  a 
fault  among  you,  because  ye  go  to  law 
one  with  another :  why  do  ye  not  ra- 
ther take  wrong  ?  why  do  ye  not  ra- 
ther suffer  yourselves  to  be  defrauded  ? 

8  Nay,  ye  do  wrong,  and  defraud, 
and  that  joJ^r  brethren. 

9  d  Know  ye  not  that  the  unrighle- 
f'us  shall  not  inherit  the  kingdom  of 
God  ?  Be  not  deceived  :  neither  forni- 
cators, nor  idolaters,  nor  adulterers, 
nor  effeminate,  nor  abusers  of  them- 
selves with  mankind, 

10  Nor  thieves,  nor  covetous,  nor 
drunkards,  nor  revilers,  nor  extortion- 
ers, shall  inherit  the  kingdom  of  God. 

11  =  And  such  were  some  of  you :  but 
ye  are  washed,  but  ye  are  sanctified, 
but  ye  are  justified,  in  the  name  of  the 
Lord  Jesus,  and  by  the  Spirit  of  our 
God. 

12  f  All  things  are  lawful  unto  me, 
but  all  things  are  not  expedient:  all 
things  are  lawful  for  me,  hut  1  will  not 
be  brought  under  the  power  of  any. 

13  g  Meats  for  tlie  belly,  and  tiie  belly 
for  meats  :  but  God  shall  destroy  both 
it  and  them.  Now  tlie  body  is  not  for 
fornication,  but  for  the  Lord,  and  the 
Lord  for  the  body.

»  NOAV,  concerning  the  things 
whereof  ye  wrote  u:ito  me  :  It  is  good 
for  a  man  not  to  touch  a  woman. 

2  Nevertlieless,  to  avoid  foniicalion, 
let  every  man  have  his  own  wife,  and 
let  every  woman  have  her  own  hus- 
band. 

3  *>  Let  (he  husband  render  unto  the 
wife  due  benevolence  ;  and  likewise  al- 
so the  wife  unto  the  husband. 

4 '  The  wife  hath  not  power  of  her 
own  body,  but  the  husband;  and  like- 
wi.-c  also  the  hu'band  hath  not  power 
of  his  own  body,  but  the  wife. 

5  d  Defraud  ye  not  oiie  the  other,  ex- 
cept it  be  vith  consent  for  a  time,  that 
ye  may  give  yourselves  to  fasting  and 
prayer;  and r.ome  together  again,  that 
Satan  tempt  you  not  for  your  incoati- 
nency. 

6  «  But  I  speak  this  by  permission, 
and  not  of  coaimandment. 

7  f  For  I  would  that  all  men  were 
even  as  1  myself :  but  every  man  hath 
his  proper  gift  r.f  Gcfl,  one  after  this 
manner,  and  anotlier  after  that. 

8  1  say,  tlierefore,  to  the  unmarried 
and  widows.  It  is  good  for  them  if  they 
abide  ceil  ss  1. 

9  ?  But  if  they  cannot  contain  let  them 
marry  :  for  it  is  better  to  many  than  to 
burn.  I 

10  i^  And  unto  the  married  I  com- 
5.  32.  and  mand,  yet  not  I,  ijut  the  L(;rd,  Lei  not

12.  II  But  u!id  if  she  depart,  let  her  re- 

main uamamed,   or  be  reconciled  to 


her  husband  :    and  let  not  the  husband 
put  away  his  wife. 

12  But  to  the  rest  spenk  I,  not  the  '^^^ 
Lord  ;  If  any  brotiier  hath  a  wife  thht 
believeth  not,    and  she  be  jileased  to 
dwell  with  him,  let  him  not  put  her 
away. 

13  '  And  the  woman  which   hath  an  /Ezras, 
husband  tiiat   believeth   not,    and  if  he 
be  ;deasedto  dwell  with  lier,  let  her  not 
leave  him. 

14  For  tlie  unbelieving  husband  is 
sanctified  bv  tlie  wife,  and  tl  e  unbe- 
lieving wife  is  sanctihed  by  the  husband: 
else  VI  ere  your  children  unclean  ;  but 
now  are  they  holy. 

15  k  But   if  the  u;ibelieving  depart,  *  Rom. 
let  him  depart.     A   broih-rr  or  a  sisttr  J^'^'^"''

or  liow  knowest  thou,  O  man,  whether  S-  ^• 
thou  shall  save  th;i  wife  ? 

17  But  as  God  hath  distributed  to 
every  man,  as  t!ie  Lord  hath  called 
every  one,  so  let  him  walk  :  and  so  or- 
dain I  in  all  cliurches.

the  things  thnt  are  of  the  world,  how  he

34  *  There  is  difference  also  between 
a  wife  and  a  virgin.  The  unmarried 
woman  careth  for  the  things  of  the 
Lord,  that  she  may  be  holy  both  in  bo- 
dy and  in  spirit ;  but  she  that  is  married 
careth  for  the  things  of  the  world,  how 
she  may  please  hi-r  husband. 

35  •=  And  this  I  speak  for  your  own 
prifit  :  not  tjiat  I  may  cast  a  snare  upon 

_        you,  but  for  that  which  is  comely,  and 
io.4i.and  tliat  ye  may  attend  upon  the  Lord  with- 
out distraction. 

36  But  if  any  man  think  that  he  be- 
liaveth  himself  uncomely  toward  his 
virgin,  if  she  pass  the  flower  of  her 
age,  and  need  so  require,  let  him  do 
what  he  will,  he  sinneth  not ;  let  them 
marry. 

o7  Nevertheless  he  thatstandeth  sted- 
fast  in  his  heart,  having  no  necessity, 
but  haih  power  over  his  own  will,  and 
Lath  so  decreed  in  his  heart  that  he 
will  keep  his  virgin,  doeth  well. 

38  ^  S"  then,  he  that  giveth  her  in 
marriage  doeth  well ,  but  he  that  giveth 
tier  not  in  man'iage  doeth  better. 

39  ^  The  wife  is  bound  by  the  law  as 
long  as  her  husband  liveth  ;  but  if  her 
busljand  be  dead  she  is  at  liberty  to  be 
married  to  whom  she  will ;  only  in  the 
Lord. 

40 «  But  she  is  happier  if  she  so  a  bide, 
after  ni  judgment  ;  and  I  think  also 
that  I  have  the  Spirit  nf  God.

14  ?  For  if  I  pray  in  an  unknovm  tongue, 
©omNI  ^y  spirit  prayeth,  but  my  understand- 
\,jryr^   ing  is  unfruitful. 

15  fa  What  is  it  then?  I  will  pray  with 
the  spirit,  and  I  will  pray  with  the  un- 
derstanding also  :  I  will  sing  with  the 
spirit,  and  I  will  sing  with  the  under- 
standing  also. 

16  i  Else,  when  thou  shalt  bless  witli 
the  spirit,  how  shall  he  that  occupietfi 
the  room  of  the  unlearned  say  Amen 
at  thy  giving  of  thanks,  seeing  he  un- 
derstandeth  not  what  thou  sayest  ? 

17  For  thou  verily  givest  thanks  well, 
but  the  other  is  not  edified. 

18  k  I  thank  my  God,  I  speak  with 
tongues  more  than  you  all : 

19  Yet  in  the  church  I  had  rather 
speak  five  words  with  my  understand- 
ing, that  by  my  voice  I  might  teach 
others  also,  than  ten  thousand  words  in 
an  unkno=v!n  tongue. 

20  '  Brethren,  be  not  children  in  un- 
derstanding; howbeit  in  malice  be  ye 
children  ;  but  in  understanding  be  men. 

21  »'  In  the  law  it  is  written.  With 
men  o/"  other  tongues  and  other  lips  will 
1  speak  unto  this  people  ;  and  yet  for 
all  that  will  they  not  hear  me,  saith  the 
Lord. 

22  Wherefore  tongues  are  for  a  sign, 
not  to  them  that  believe,  but  to  them  that 
believe  not :  but  prophesying  serveth  not 
for  them  that  believe  not,  but  for  them 
which  believe. 

23  If,  therefore,  the  whole  church 
Sai^'28.  be  come  together  into  one  place,  and 
11, 12.      all  speak  with  tongues,  and  there  come 

in  those  that  are  unlearned,  or  unbeliev- 
ers, will  they  not  say  that  ye  are  mad? 

24  °  But  if  all  prophesy,  and  there 
come  in  one  that  believeth  not,  or  one 
unlearned,  he  is  convinced  of  all,  he  is 
judged  of  all ; 

25  o  And  thus  are  the  secrets  of  his 
heart  made  manifest ;  and  so,  falling 
down  on  his  face,  he  will  worship  God, 
and  report  that  God  is  in  you  of  a 
truth. 

26  p  How  is  it  then,  brethren,  when 
ye  come  together,  every  one  of  you

Of  the  resurrection. 

Anno  10  ^  Bat  by  the  grace  of  God  I  am 
DOMINI  ^yj^^j  I  am  ;  and  his  grace  which  luas 
hestoiuca  upon  me  was  not  in  vain  ;  but 
I  laboured  moie  abundantly  tlian  they 
all :  yet  not  I,  but  the  grace  of  God 
which  was  w  ith  me. 

llTilel•ef;^^e,  whether   it  luere  I  or 
the>,  so  we  preach,  and  so  ye  believed. 
12  1  Now  if  Christ  be  preached  that 
he  rose  ti'r>m  the  dead,   how  say  some 
s,  10.  and  among  you  that  there  is  no  resurrection

2  Cor.  13  ra  But  if  there  be  no  resurrection 

3.  5^  ami    of  the  dead,  ilien  is  Christ  not  risen. 

14  And  if  Christ  be  not  risen,  then  is 
our  preacluiig  vain,  and  your  faith  is 
?l\m>  vain. 

15  "  Yea,  and  we  are  found  false  wit-

whom  he  raised  not  up,  if  so  be  that  the 
dead  rise  not. 

16  For  if  the  dead  rise  not,  then  is 
not  Clrisl  raised  ; 

17  o  And  if  Christ  be  not  raised,  your

18  Then  they  also  which  are  fallen

in  Christ  shall  all  be  made  alive. 

23  '  But  every  man  in  his  own  order : 
Christ  the  first-fruits  ;  al'lervvard  they 
that  are  Christ's  at  his  coming.

26  "  The  last  enemy  that  shall  be  des- 
troyed IS  death.

his  feet.  But  when  hesaith.  All  things 
are  put  under  him,  it  is  manifest  that 
he  is  excepted  which  did  put  all  things

of  God  :  I  speak  this  to  your  shame.      56. 12. 

35  ^  But  some   7na?i  will   say,  How  2  Cor. 
are  the  dead  raised  up  I  and  with  what  ^'Rom. 
body  do  they  come  ?  13. 11. 

36  f  Thou  fool !  that  which  thou  sow-  ^•^;  *• 
est  is  not  quickened  except  it  die.  5. 14. 

37  And  that  which  thou  sowest,  thou  eEzek. 
sowest  not  that  body  that  shall  be,  but  j-john 
bare  grain,  it  may  chance  of  wheat,  or  12.24- 
of  some  other  grain  -• 

38  But  God  giveth  it  a  body  as  it  hath 
pleased  him,  and  to  every  seed  his  own 
biidy. 

39  All  flesh  is  not  the  same  flesh  :  but 
there  is  one  iind  c)f  i\e'sh  of  men,  another 
flesh  of  beasts,  another  of  fishes,  and 
another  of  birds. 

40  There  are  also  celestial  bodies,  and 
bodies  terrestrial :  but  the  glory  of  the 
celestial  is  one,  and  the  glury  of  the  ter- 
restrial is  another. 

41  g  Tiicreis  one  glory  of  the  sun,  and  ^Oen. 
another  glory  of  the  moon,  and  another  ^ '^• 
glory  of  the  stars  ;  for  one  star  difiereth  12.  ik 
from  another  star  in  glory.  Philip. 

42  So  also  is  the  resurrection  of  the  ^•2"- 
dead  :  it  is  sown  in  corruption,  it  is  rais- 
ed in  incorruption  ; 

43  It  is  sown  in  dishonour,  it  is  raised 
in  glory :  it  is  sown  iti  weakness,  it  is 
raised  in  power  : 

44  It  is  sown  a  natural  bod\-,  it  is  rais- 
ed a  spiritual  body.  There  is  a  natural 
body,  and  there  is  a  spiritual  body. 

45  b  And  so  it  is  written.  The  first  hO-m 
man  Adam  was  made  a  living  soul,  the  2.  7. 
last  Adam  ivas  made  a  quickening  spi-  5,°"'

46  Howbelt  that  was  not  first  which  ''•  '°- 
is  spiritual,  but  that  which  is  natural ; 

and  afterward  that  which  is  spiritual. 

47  '  The  first  man  is  of  the  earth,  /  Gen.

preaching  the  gospel,  he.

repent:  for  I  perceive  lliat  tlie  same 
epistle  made  you  sorry,  thoug'h  it  were 
but  for  a  season, 

9  ^  Now  I  rpjolce,  not  that  ye  were 
made  sorry,  but  that  ye  sorr.tvved  to  re- 
pi-'ntance  :  for  ye  were  made  sorry  after 
a  godly  manner,  tliat  ye  might  receive 
damage  by  us  in  nothing-. 

10  '  For  godly  sorrow  worketh  re- 
pentance to  salvation  not  to  be  repent- 
ed of:  but  the  sorrow  of  the  world 
worketh  death. 

11  h  Fo'-,  behold,  this  self-same  thing, 
that  ye  sorrowed  after  a  godly  sort,  what 
carefulness  it  wrought  in  you,  yea,  vjkat 
clearing  of  yourselves,  yea,  what  indig- 
nation, yea,  ivhat  fear,  yea,  luhat  vehe- 
ment desire,  yea,  ii-hat  zeal,  yea,  ivhat 
revenge  !  In  all  things  ye  have  approved 
yourselves  to  be  clear  in  this  matter. 

12  1  Wherefore,  though  I  wrote  unto 
you,  I  did  it  not  for  his  cause  that  had 
done  the  wrong,  nor  for  his  cause  that 
suffered  wrong,  but  that  our  care  for 
you  in  the  sight  of  God  might  appear 
imto  you. 

13  Therefore  we  were  comforted  in 
your  cqmfort;  yea,  and  exceedingly  the 
more  joyed  we  for  the  joy  of  Titus,  be- 
cause his  spirit  was  refreshed  by  you  all. 

14  ">  For  if  I  have  boasted  any  thing 
to  him  of  you  I  am  not  ashamed;  but 
as  we  spake  all  things  to  you  in  truth, 
even  so  our  boasting,  which  /  made  be- 
fore Tilus,  is  found  a  truth.  | 

15  "  And  his  inward  affection  is  more 
abundiint  toward  you,  whilst  he  remem- 
beretli  the  obedience  of  you  all,  how 
with  fear  and  trembling  ye  received 
him. 

16  °  I  rejoice,  therefore,  that  I  have 
confidence  in  you  in  all  things.

'  MOREOVER,  brethren,  we  do 
you  to  wit  of  tiie  grace  of  God  bestow-

2  ^  How  that  in  a  great  trial  of  afflic- 
tion, the  abundance  of  their  joy,  and 
their  deep  poverty,  abounded  unto  the 
riches  of  their  liberality. 

3  For  to  their  power,  (I  bear  record,) 
yea,  and  beyond  their  power,  they  n-ere 
willing  of  themselves  ; 

4  ^  Praying  us  with  mucli  entreaty 
that  we  would  receive  the  gift,  and 
tal-e  upon  us  the  fellowship  of  the  minis- 
tering to  the  saints. 

5  And  f/./j  they  did,  not  as  we  hoped ; 
hut  first  gave  their  own  selves  to  the 
Lord,  and  unto  us  by  the  will  of  God; 

6  '•  Insomuch  tliyi  we  desired  Titus, 
tl  t  as  he  had  begun,  so  lie  would  also

that  ye  through  his  poverty  might  b.-  Philip,

10  •>  And  herein  I  give  my  advice :  h  Prov. 
for  this  is  expedient  for  you,  who  have  ^'  "• 
begun  before,  not  only  to  do,  but  also  lo.  42. 
to  be  forward  a  y-ear  ago.  1  Cor. 

11  Now,  therefore,   perform  the  do-  andi^.'2, 
ing  of  it ;  that,  as  there  wa*  a  readiness  ch.  9. 2. ' 
to  will,  so  th-:e  may  be  a  perfcfrmance  3  T^*"' 
also  out  of  tl:  :.  which  ye  have.  Hgi,/ 

12  '  For  if  there  be  first  a  willing  i3. 16.

hath  not.  i2- «. 

13  ^  Fop  /  viean  not  that  other  men  21!  3^ 
be  eased,  and  you  burdened  ;  i  Peter 

14  But  by  an  equaUty,   that  now  at  ^•^^* 
this  time  your  abundance  may  be  a  sup-  4.34, 
ply  for  their  want,  that  their  abundance 
also  may  be  a  supply  for  your  want,  that 
there  may  be  equality  : 

15  '  As  it  is  written,  He  that  had  [f-^^- 
gathered  much  had  nothing  over  ;    and 

he  that  had  gathered  little  had  no  lack. 

16  But  thanks  be  to  God,  which  put 
the  same  earnest  care  into  the  heart  of 
Titus  f(u*you, 

17  '"  For  indeed  he  accepted  the  ex-  ""chap. 
iiortation  :  but,  being  more  forward,  of     '    ' 
his  own  accord  he  went  unto  y'ou. 

18  And  we  have  sent  with  him  the 
brother,  whose  praise  is  in  the  gospel 
throughout  all  the  churches  ; 

19  "  And  not  that  only,  but  who  was  ni  Chr.

»  FOR  as  touching  the  ministering 

to  the  saints,  it  is  supertiuous  for  me  to 

write  to  you :

your  mind,  for  which  I  boast  of  you  to 
them  of  Macedonia,  that  Achaia  was 
ready  a  \ear  ago;  and  your  zeal  hath 
provoked  very  many.

boasting  of  you  should  be  in  vain  in  this

1  He  chuseth  to  commend  his  apostteship, 
not  by  revelations,  9  but  by  his  infirmi- 
ties ■■  14  he proTnistth  to  visit  thetn. 

»  IT  is  not  expedient  for  me  doubt- 
less to  glor) .    I  will  come  to  visions  and 
revelations  of  the  Lord. 
^j  2^1  knew  a  man   in  Christ  above 

and  fourteen  years  ago,  (whether  in  the  b<i- 
'•  dy,  I  cannot  tell ;  or  whether  out  of  the 
body,  I  cannot  tell;  God  knoweth:) 
such  an  one  caught  up  to  the  third  hea- 
ven, 

3  And  I  knew  such  a  man,  (whether 
in  the  body,  or  out  of  the  body,  I  can- 
not tell :  God  knoweth.) 

4  How  that  he  was  caught  up  into 
paradise,  and  heard  unspeakable  words, 
which  it  is  not  lawful  for  a  man  to 
utter. 

5  =  Of  such  an  one  will  I  g^lorj  :  yet 
of  myself  I  will  not  glory,  but  in  mine 
infirmities. 

6  d  Fur  tliaugh  I  would  desire  to  glo- 
ry, I  shall  not  be  a  fool ;  for  I  will  say 
the  truth  :  but  noi^  I  foi*bear,  lest  any 
man  should  thii.k  of  me  above  that 
which  he  seeth  me  to  be,  or  that  he 
hearelh  of  me. 

7  '  And,  lest  I  should  be  exalted 
above  measure  through  the  abundance 
of  tlie  revelations,  there  was  given  lo 
me  a  thorn  in  the  flesh,  the  messenger 
of  Satan  to  buffet  me,  lest  I  should  be 
exalted  above  m.easure. 

8  '  For  this  thing  1  besought  the  Lor.l 
thrice,  that  it  migiit  depart  from  me. 

9  g  And  he  said  untn  me.  My  grace 
is  sufficient  for  thee ;  fur  my  strength  is 
made  perfect  in  weakness.  M  )St  glad- 
ly, 'herefore,  will  I  rather  glory  in  my 
infi"mities,  that  the  power  of  Christ 
may  rest  upon  me. 

10  ^  Tiierefore  I  take  pleasure  in  in- 
firmities, in  reproaches,  in  necessities, 
in  jjersecutions,  in  distresses  vbr  Christ's 
sake  :  for  when  1  am  weak,  then  am  I 
strong. 

11  '  I  am  become  a  fool  in  glorying; 
ye  have  compelled  me :  for  I  ought  to 
have  been  commended  of  you ;   i

justijied,  and  blessed  viith  Abraham. 

a  O  FOOLISH  Galatians,  who 
hath  bewitched  you  that  yc  should  not 
obey  the  truth,  before  whose  e3'es  Jesus 
Christ  hath  been  evidently  set  forth 
crucified  among  you  ? 

2  *>  This  only  would  I  learn  of  you. 
Received  ye  the  Spirit  by  the  works  of 
the  law  ,  or  by  the  hearing  of  faith  ? 

3  '^  Are  ye  so  foolish,  having  begun 
in  the  Spirit,  are  ye  now  made  perfect 
by  the  flesh  ? 

4  ^  Have  ye  suffered  so  many  things 
in  vain  ?  if  it  be  yet  in  vain. 

5  =  He,  therefore,  that  ministereth  to 
you  the  Spirit,  and  worketh  miracles 
among  you,  doeth  he  it  by  the  works  of 
the  law,  or  by  the  hearing  of  faith  ? 

6  f  Even  as  Abraliam  believed  God, 
and  it  was  accounted  to  him  for  righte- 
ousness. 

7  ?  Know  3e,  therefore,  that  they 
which  are  of  faith,  the  same  are  tlie 
children  of  Abraham. 

8  •'  And  the  scripture,  foreseeing  that 
God  would  justify  the  heathen  thrsugh 
faith,  preached  before  the  gospel  untc 
Abraham,  saying.  In  thee  shall  all  na- 
tions be  blessed. 

9  So  then  they  which  be  of  faith  are 
blessed  with  faithful  Abraliam. 

10  '  For  as  many  as  are  of  the  works 
of  tl'.e  luw  are  under  the  curse  :  for  it  is 
written.  Cursed  is  every  one  that  con- 
tiimeth  not  in  all  the  things  which  are 
written  in  the  book  of  the  law  to  du 
them. 

11  k  But  that  no  man  is  justified  by 
the  law,  in  the  sight  of  God,  it  is  evi- 
dent :   for.  The  just  shall  live  by  faiti  .

if  ye  be  circumcised  Christ  shall  profit 
you  nothing.

to  do  the  whole  law.

you,  whosoever  of  you  are  justified  by 
the  law  ;  ye  are  fallen  from  grace.

the  hope  of  righteousness  by  faith.

by  love.

ally  unto  them  who  are  of  the  house- 
huld  of  faith. 

11  Ye  see  how  large  a  letter  I  have 
written  unto  you  with  mine  own  hand. 

12  '  As  many  as  desire  to  make  a  fair 
shew  in  the  flesh,  they  constrain  you  to 
be  circumcised  ;  only  lest  they  should 
sufTer  persecution  for  the  cross  of 
Christ. 

13  "  For  neither  they  themselves 
who  are  circumcised  keep  the  law  ; 
but  desire  to  have  you  circumcised,  that 
they  may  glory  in  your  Acs!). 

14 "  But  God  forbid  that  I  should  glo- 
ry, save  in  the  cross  of  our  Lord  Jesus 
Christ,  by  whom  the  world  is  crucitied 
unto  me,  ar,d  1  unto  the  world 

15  °  For  in  Christ  Jesus  neither  cir- 
cumcision availeth  any  thing,  nor  un- 
circumcision,  but  a  new  creature. 

16  p  And  as  many  as  walk  according 
to  this  rule,  peace  be  on  them,  and  mer- 
cy,  and  upon  the  Israel  of  God. 

17  '1  From  henceforth  let  no  man 
trouble  me  ;  for  I  bear  in  my  body  the 
marks  of  the  Lord  Jesus. 

18  f  Breihren,  the  grace  of  our  Lord 
Jesus  Christ  de  with  your  spirit.  Amen.

I  he  word  withi  'it  fear. 

15  "  Some  indeed  preach  Christ  everi 
of  envy  and  strife  ;  and  some  also  of 
good  will. 

16  The  one  preach  Christ  of  conten-

afflicti'n  to  my  bonds  ;

ch?2. 12.  beseech  you,  hretiiren,  and  exliort  70:/ 
by  the  Lord  Jestis,  that  as  ye  have  re- 
ceived of  us  how  )e  ought  to  walk,  and 
to  please  God,  so  ye  would  abound  more 
and  more- 

2  For  ye  know  what  commandnnents 
we  gave  you  by  the  Lo'd  Jesus. 

3  b  Foi-  ttiis  is  the  will  of  G.)d,  even 
your  sanctiticatjjn,  that  ye  should  ab- 
stain f'oin  fornic-ition  : 

4  <:  That  every  one  of  you  should 
know  h'lw  to  possess  his  vessel  in  sanc- 
tificalion  and  honour; 

5  d  Not  in  the  lust  of  concupiscence, 
even  as  the  Gentiles  which  know  i.ot 
God : 

6  =  That  no  mm  go  beyond  and  de- 
fraud his  brotl-.er  in  any  maiter ;  because 
that  the  Lord  is  the  avenp^er  of  all  such, 
as  we  also  have  forewarned  you,  and 
testified. 

7  •'  For  God  hath  not  called  us  unto 
uncleaniiess,  but  unto  holiness. 

8  ?  He,  theref  )re,  that  despiseth,  de- 
sjiise'.h  not  man,  but  God,  v>ho  hath  also 
g-iven  unto  us  his  Holy  Spirit. 

9  '>  But  as  touching  brotherly  love, 
need  not  thst  I  write  unto  you  ;  for 

ye  yourselves  are  taught  of  God  to  love 
4"i7  is'^  one  another. 

10  '  And  indeed  ye  do  it  toward  all 
the  brethren  which  ure  in  all  Macedo- 
nia :  but  we  beseech  you,  brethren,  that 
ye  increase  more  and  more  ; 

11  i'  And  that  ye  study  to  be  quiet, 
and  to  do  your  own  bubiness,  and  to 
work  with  your  own  hands,  as  we  com-

9  fj  In  like  manner  also,  that  women 
adorn  themselves  in  modest  apparel, 
with  shame-f'acedness  and  sobriety  ;  not 
with  broidered  hair,  or  gold,  or  pearls, 
or  costly  array ; 

10  But  (which  becometh  women  pro-

11  '  Let  the  woman  learn  in  silence 
with  all  subjection. 

12  But  I  suffer  not  a  woman  to  teach, 
nor  to  usurp  authority  over  the  man, 
but  to  be  in  silence. 

13  k  For  Adam  was  first  formed,  then 
Eve. 

14  '  And  Adam  was  not  deceived  ; 
but  the  woman,  being  deceived,  was  in 
the  transgression.

ivives,  should  be  qualified.     15  Of  the 
church,  and  the  truth  therein  taught. 
>  THIS  is  a  true  saying.  If  a  man 
desire  the  office  of  a  bishop,  he  desireth 
a  good  work. 

2  i"  A  bishop  then  must  be  blameless, 
the  husband  of  one  wife,  vigilant,  so- 
ber, of  good  behaviour,  given  to  hospi- 
tality, apt  to  teach ; 

3  "=  Not  given  to  wine,  no  striker,  not 
greedy  of  filthy  lucre ;  but  patient,  not 
a  brawler,  not  covetous  ; 

4  One  that  ruleth  well  his  own  house, 
having  his  children  in  subjection  with  all 
gravity  ; 

5  (For  if  a  man  know  not  how  to  rule 
his  own  house,  how  shall  he  take  care 
of  the  churcii  of  God  ?) 

6  Not  a  II  novice,  lest,  being  lifted  up 
with  pride,  he  fall  into  the  condemna- 
tion of  t!*e  devil. 

7  ^  Moreover,  he  mast  have  a  good 
report  of  them  which  are  without;  lest 
he  fall  into  reproach,  and  the  snare  of 
the  devil. 

8  =  Likewise  -ynust  the  deacons  be 
grave,  not  double-tongued,  not  given  to 
much  wine,  not  greedy  of  filthy  lucre ; 

9  '  Holding  the  mystery  of  the  faith 
in  a  pure  conscience. 

10  And  let  vhese  also  first  be  proved ; 
tiien  let  them  use  the  office  of  a  deacon, 
beingybuni/  blameless. 

11  Even  so  must  their  wives  be  grave, 
not  slanderers  ;  sober,  faithful  in  all 
things. 

12  Let  the  deacons  be  the  husbands 
of  one  wife,  ruling  their  cliildren  and 
their  own  houses  well. 

13  s  For  tliey  that  have  used  the  of- 
fice of  a  deacon  well  purchase  to  them- 
selves a  good  degree,  and  great  bold- 
ness in  the  feith  which  is  in  Christ  Je- 
sus.

elders.  23  Paul's  direction  for  Timo- 
thy's health.  2'i:  So7ne  men's  sins  go 
before  unto  judgment,  &c. 

»  REBUKE  not  an  elder,  but  en 
treat  him  as  a  father ;  and  the  younger 
men  as  brethren  ; 

2  ''  Tl'.e  elder  women  as  mothers  ;  the 
younger  as  sisters,  with  all  purity. 

3  '  Honoui-  widows  that  are  widows 
indeed. 

4  ^  But  if  any  widow  have  children 
or  nephews,  let  them  learn  first  to  shew 
piety  at  home,  and  to  requite  their  pa 
rents  :  for  that  is  good  and  acceptable 
before  God. 

5  e  Now  she  that  is  a  widow  indeed, 
and  desolate,  trusteth  in  God,  and  con- 
tinupth    in    supplications   and  prayers 

2- 36.  and  x\ig\.x  and  day. 

i^cor.  ^  S^i'  she  that  liveth  in  pleasure  is 

7. 32.        dead  while  she  liveth.

1.  3.  and  th.tt  they  may  be  blameless. 
6. 17.  ^        ^  ^  ^"^  if  any  provide  not  for  his  own, 
Isaiah   and  specially  for  those  of  his  own  house, 

he   hath  denied  the  faith,  and  is  worse 

than  an  intidel. 

9  Let  not  a  widow  be  taken  into  the 
number  under  threescore  years  old,  hav- 
ing been  the  wife  of  one  man, 

10  "^  Will  reported  of  for  good  works  ; 
if  she  have  brought  vp  children,  if  she 

j8. 4.  and  have  lodged  strangers,  if  she  have  wash- 
Luke  7  ed  the  saints' feet,  if  she  have  relieved 
38,44.*  the  afflicted,  if  she  have  diligently  fol- 
John  13.   lowed  every  good  work. 

11  But  the  younger  widows  refuse  : 
for  when  they  have  begun  to  wax  wan- 
ton aj^ainst  Christ  they  will  marry  ; 

12  Having  damnation,  because  ihoy 
have  cast  otttheir  first  faith. 

13  ■  And  withal  they  learn  to  be  idle, 
wand'  r.ng  about  from  house  to  house  : 
and  not  only  idle,  but  tattlers  also,  and 
busy  bodies,  speaking  things  which  they 
ought  not.

4  <^  I  thank  my  God,  making  mention 
of  thee  always  in  my  prayers, 

5  d  Hearing  of  thy  love  and  faith, 
which  tliou  hast  toward  the  Lordjesus, 
and  toward  all  saints; 

6*  That  the  communication  of  thy 
faith  may  becoitie  effectual,  by  the  ac 
knowledging  of  every  g")od  thing  which 
is  in  you  in  Christ  Jesus. 

7 '  For  we  have  great  joy  and  conso- 
lation in  thy  love,  because  the  bowels  of 
the  saints  are  refreshed  by  thee,  bro- 
ther. 

8  g  Wherefore,  though  I  might  be 
much  bold  in  Christ  to  enjoin  thee  tliat 
which  is  convenient, 

9  Yet,  for  love's  sake,  I  rather  be- 
seech thee,  being  sucli  an  one  as  Paul 
the  aged,  and  now  also  a  prisoner  of 
Jesus  Christ. 

10  »  I  beseech  thee  for  my  son  Onesi- 
mas,  whom  I  have  begotten  in  my  bonds : 

11  Which  in  time  past  was  to  thee 
unprofitable,  but  now  profitable  to  thee 
and  to  me : 

12  Whom  I  have  sent  again  -.  thou 
therefore  receive  him,  that  is,  mine  own 
bowels  ; 

13  '  Whom  I  would  have  retained 
with  me,  that  in  thy  stead  he  might 
have  ministered  unto  me  in  the  bonds 
of  the  gospel : 

14  i*  But  without  thy  mind  would  I 
do  nothing :  that  thy  benefit  should  not 
be  as  it  were  of  necessity,  but  willingly. 


PHILEMON.  as  being  preferrtd  above  all  angels. 

15 1  For  perhaps   he,   therefore,  de-    Anno 
parted  for  a  season,  that  thou  shouldest  ^^'^^^^ 
receive  him  for  ever  ;  ^•vO 

16  ™  Not  now  as  a  servant,  but  above  /-Gen. 
a  servant,  a  brother   beloved,  specially  45.  s. 
to  me,  but  how  much  more  unto  thee,  ^.^g.**^ 
both  in  the  flesh  and  in  the  Lord?  iTim. 

17  If  thou   count   me,   therefore,  a^-*- 
partner,  receive  him  as  myself. 

18  If  he  hath  wronged  thee,  oroweth 
thee  aught,  put  that  on  mine  account ; 

19  I  Paul  have  written  it  with  mine 
own  hand,  I  will  repay  it :  albeit  I  do 
not  say  to  thee,  how  thou  owest  unto 
me  even  thine  own  self  besides. 

20  Yea,  brother,  let  me  have  joy  of 
thee  in  the  Lord  :  refresh  my  bowels  in 
the  Lord. 

21  n  Having  confidence  in  thy  obedi-  n2Cor. 
ence,  I  wrote  unto  thee,  knowing  that  ^'  ^** 
thou  wilt  also  do  more  than  I  say.

less  is  blessed  of  the  better. 

8  f  And  here  men  that  die  receive 
tithes  ;  but  there  lie  rectiveth  them,  ot 
whom  it  is  witnessed  that  he  liveth. 

9  And,  as  1  may  so  say,  Levi  also, 
who  receiveth  tithes,  payed  titties  in 
Abraham. 

10  6  For  lie  was  yet  in  the  loins 
of  his  father  when  Meichisedec  met 
him. 

11  i>  If,  therefore,  perfection  were  by 
the  Levitical  priesthopd,  (for  under  it 
the  people  received  fhe  law,)  what  fur- 
ther need  ims  there  that  anoilier  priest 
should  rise  after  the  order  of  Melchise- 
dec,  and  not  be  called  after  the  order  of 
Aaron  ? 

12  For  the  priesthood  being  changed, 
thc-e  is  made  of  necessity  a  change  al- 
so of  the  law. 

13  For  he  of  whom  these  things  are 
spoken  pertainetli  to  another  tribe,  ot 
which  no  man  gave  attendance  at  the 
altar. 

14  i  For  it  is  evident  that  our  Lord 
sprang  out  of  Juda;  of  which  tribe  Mo- 
Mat.  1. 3.  j,^g   spake   nothing  concerning   priest- 
hood. 

15  k  And  it  is  yet  far  more  evident : 
for  that  after  the  similitude  of  Melchi- 
sedeo  .'icre  ariseth  another  priest, 

16  Wlio  IS  made  u.)t  after  the  law  of 
a  carnal  commandment,  but  after  tiie 
power  of  an  endle.ss  life.

iiie  w  jrd  of  truth,  that  we  should  be 
a  kind  wf  hrst-fruils  of  his  creatures. 

19  n>  WlKTefore,  my  beloved  bre- 
thren, let  every  man  be  swift  to  hear, 
slow  to  speal<,  slow  to  wrath  ; 

20  n  Fiir  the  wrath  of  man  worketh 
not  the  righteousness  of  God. 

21  o  Whrref.re,  lay  apart  all  filthi- 
ness,  and  superfluity  of  naughtiness, 
and  receive  with  meekness  the  ingraft- 
ed word,  which  is  able  to  save  your 
souls. 

22  P  But  be  ye  doers  of  the  word, 
and  not  hearers  only,  decei  ing  your 
own  selves. 

23  1  For  if  any  be  a  hearer  of  the 
m  Psalm  word,  and  not  a  doer,  he  is  like  unto  a

tongue  from  evil,  and  his  lips  that  they

of  the  Lord  is  against  them  that  do 

evil. 

13  •  And  who  is  he  that  will  harm 
you,  if  ye  be  followers  of  that  which  is 
good?

kxhortation  to  faith.  II.  PETER 

Anno     unto  you   througli  the  knowledge   of        19 
^^m]^^  God,  and  of  Jesus  our  Lord, 

3  ^  According  as  his  divine  power 
hath  given  unto  us  all  (.lungs  \\\'aX.  per- 
tain unto  life  and  godliness,  througli  the 
knowledge  of  him  that  hath  called  us 
to  glory  and  virtue  : 

4  <^  VViierebj'  are  given  unto  us  ex- 
ceeding great  and  precious  promises  ; 
that  by  these  ye  might  be  partakers  of 
the  divine  nature,  having  esc;tped  the 
corruption  that  is  in  the  world  through 
lust. 

5  e  And,  beside  this,  giving  a}\  dili- 
gence, add  to  your  faith,  virtue  ;  and  to 
virtue,  knowledge ; 

6  And  to  knowledge,  temperance  ; 
and  to  temperance,  patience  ;  and  to 
patience,  godliness  ; 

7  f  And  to  godliness,  brotherly  kind- 
ness ;  and  to  brotherly  kindness,  cha- 
rity. 

8  g  For  if  these  things  be  in  you,  and 
abound,  they  make  you  that  ye  shall 
neither  be  barren  nor  unfruitfid  in  the 

iT^ess.^  knowledge  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

9  h  But  he  that  lacketh  these  tilings 
is  blind,  and  cannot  see  afar  off,  and 
hath  forgotten  that  he  was  purged  from 
his  old  sins. 

10  '  Wherefore  the  rather,  brethren, 
give  dihgence  to  make  your  calling  and 
election  sure  ;  for  if  ye  do  these  things 
ye  shall  never  fall : 

11  For  so  an  entrance  shall  be  mini- 
stered unto  you  abundantly  into  the 
everlasting  kingdom  of  our  Lord  and 
Saviour  Jesus  Christ. 

12  ^  Wherefore  I  will  not  be  negli- 
gent to  put  you  always  in  remembrance 
of  these  things,  though  ye  know  them, 
and  be  established  in  the  present  truth. 

13  '  Yea,  I  think  it  meet,  as  long  as 
I  am  in  this  tabernacle,  to  stir  you  up, 
by  putting  jjow  in  remembrance  ; 

14  '»  Knowing  that  shortly  I  must 
put  o^'  this  my  tabernacle,  even  as  our 
Lord  Jesus  Christ  hath  shewed  me.

knOHxin  of  the  Word  of  life,  &.C. 
»  THAT  which  was  from  the  be- 
ginning, which  we  have  heard,  whicii 
we  have  seen  with  our  eyes,  which  we 
have  looked  upon,  and  our  hands  have 
handled,  of  tlie  Word  of  life  ; 

2  C*  For  the  life  was  manifested,  and 
we  have  seen  it,  and  bear  witness,  and 
shew  unto  you  that  eternal  life,  uhicli 
was  with  the  Father,  and  was  manifest- 
ed unto  us ;) 

3 '  That  which  we  have  seen  and 
lieard  declare  we  unto  you,  that  ye  also 
may  have  fellowship  with  us  :  and  trui\ 
our  fellowship  is  with  the  Father,  and 
with  his  Son  Jesus  Clirist. 

4  ''  And  these  things  write  we  unto! 
you,  that  your  joy  m;<y  be  full. 

5  «  This  then  is  the  message  which 
we  have  heard  of  him,  and  declare  un- 
to you,  that  God  is  light,  and  in  him  is 
no  darkness  at  a!!. 

6  '  If  we  say  that  we  iiave  fellowship 
with  him,  and  vvfalk  in  darkness,  we  lie, 
and  do  not  the  truth  : 

7  8  But  if  we  walk  in  the  light,  as  he 
is  in  the  light,  we  have  fellowship  one 
with  another  :  and  the  blood  of  Jesu-> 
Christ  his  Son  cleanseth  us  from  all  sin 


write  I  unto  you,  that  ye  sin  not.  And 
if  any  man  sin,  we  have  an  Advocate 
with  the  Father,  Jesus  Christ  the  righte- 
ous : 

2  ''  And  he  is  tl\e  propitiation  for  our 
sins  ;  and  not  for  oar's  only,  but  also  for 
the  sins  ff  the  whole  world. 

5  And  hereby  we  do  know  that  we 
know  him,  if  we  keep  his  command- 
■ncnts. 

4  <:  He  that  saith,  I  know  him,  and 
keepeth  not  his  commandments,  is  a 
liar,  and  the  truth  is  not  in  him. 

5  ''  But  whoso  keepeth  his  word,  in 
him  verily  is  the  love  of  God  perfected  : 
hereb\  know  we  that  we  are  in  him. 

6  e  He  tiiat  saith  he  abideth  in  him. 
ought  himself  also  so  to  walk,  even  as  he 
walked. 

7  f  Brethren,  I  write  no  new  com- 
mandment unto  30U,  but  an  old  com- 
mandment, which' ye  had  from  the  be- 
ginning :  the  old  commandment  is  the 
uord  which  ye  have  heard  from  the  be- 
ginning. 

8  g  Again,  a  new  commandment  I 
\vriLe  unto  _\ou,  which  thing  is  tr;;e  in 
liim,  and  in  you  ;  because  the  darkness 
is  p.ast,  and  the  true  light  now  shineth.

14  "  1  have  written  unto  you,  fa- 
thers, because  ye  have  known  him  that 
is  from  the  beginninjj.  I  have  writler. 
unto  you,  young'  men,  because  ye  are 
strong',  and  the  word  of  God  abideih  in 
you,  and  ye  have  overcome  the  wickevl 
one. 

15  °  Love  not  the  world,  neither  the 
things  that  are  in  the  world.  If  any 
man  love  the  world,  the  love  of  the 
Father  is  not  in  him. 

15  For  all  that  is  in  the  world,  the 
luslof  the  flesh,  ;in(l  the  lust  of  the  eyes, 
and  the  pride  of  life,  is  not  of  the  Fa- 
ther, but  is  of  the  world. 

17  P  And  the  world  passeth  away, 
and  ihe  lust  thereof:  hut  he  that  doeth 
the  will  of  God  abideth  for  ever. 

18  t  Little  children,  it  is  the  last 
lime  :  and  as  ye  have  lieard  that  anti- 
chi'ist  shall  come,  e\en  now  are  there 
many  antichrists  ;  whereby  we  know 
that  it  is  the  last  time. 

19  f  They  went  out  from  us,  but 
they  were  not  of  us  ;  for  if  they  had 
been  of  us,  they  would  no  doubt  have 
continued  with  us  :  but  they  luent  out, 
that  they  might  be  made  manifest  that 
they  were  not  all  of  us. 

20  s  But  ye  have  an  unction  from  the 
Holy  One,  and  ye  know  all  things. 

21  I  have  not  written  unto  you  be- 
cause ye  know  not  the  truth, but  because 
ve  know  it,  and  that  no  lie  is  of  the  truth. 

22  "^  Who  is  a  liar,  but  he  that  de- 
nieth  that  Jesus  is  the  Christ  ?  He  is 
antichrist  th;.it  dc;ucth  the  Father  and 
the  Son. 

23  "  Whosoever  denieth  the  Son,  the 
snme  hath  not  the  Father  :  [but  he  that 
acknnviiedgeth  the  Son  hath  the  Father 
tiiso.'] 

24  "^  Let  that,  therefore,  abide  in  you 
which  ye  have  heard  from  the  begin- 
ning-.  If  that  which  ye  have  heard 
Inm  the  beginning  shall  remain  in 
you,  ye  also  shall  coatinue  in  the  Son, 
and  in  the  Fath.cr. 

25  And  this  is  the  proml.se  that  he 
hath  promised  us,  ew?j  eternal  life. 

26  y  These  things  have  I  written  unto 
you  concerning  tliero  thatseduce  jou. 

27  ^  But  the  anointing,  which  ye 
have  received  of  him,  abideth  in  you  ; 
and  ye  need  not  that  any  man  teach 
you  :  but  as  the  same  anointing  teacheth 
yon  of  all  things,  and  is  truth,  and  is  no 
he,  and  even  as  it  hath  laugiit  you,  ye 
sliall  abide  in  him. 

28  3  And  now,  little  children,  abide 
in  him  ;  that,  when  he  sludl  appear,  we 
may  have  conhdencc,  and  not  be  asham-

Spint  of  truth,  and  the  spirit  of  error. 

7  g  Beloved,  let  us  love  one  anofber  ; 
for  love  is  of  God;  and  every  one  that 
loveth  is  bom  of  God,  and  knowetii 
God. 

8  h  He  that  loveth  not,  knoweth  not 
God  ;  for  God  is  love. 

9  '  In  this  was  manifested  the  love 
of  God  toward  us,  because  tliat  God 
sent  his  onlj'-begotten  Son  iii'o  the 
world,  that  we  mig-htlive  tlirongh  hirr. 

10  '^  Herein  is  love,  not  that  we  lov- 
ed God,  but  tiiat  he  loved  us,  and 
sent  his  Ssm  to  be  the  propitiation  foi 
our  sins. 

11  '  Beloved,  if  God  so  loved  us,  we 
outi^ht  also  to  love  one  another. 

12  ">  No  man  hath  seen  God  at  any 
time.  If  we  love  one  another,  Goii 
dwelleth  in  us,  and  his  love  is  perfected 
in  us. 

13  "  Hereby  know  we  that  we  dwell 
in  him,  and  he  in  us,  because  he  hath 
given  us  of  his  Spirit. 

14  o  And  we  huve  seen,  and  do  testify, 
that  the  Father  sent  the  Son  to  he  Ihe 
Saviour  of  the  world. 

15  P  Whosoever  shall  confess  that 
Jesus  is  the  Son  of  God,  God  dwelleth 
in  him,  and  he  in  God. 

16  1  And  we  have  known  and  believ- 
ed the  love  that  G..d  hath  to  us.  Goci 
islcve;  and  he  th.it  dwelleth  in  love 
dwelleth  in  God,  and  God  in  him. 

17  '  Herein  is  our  love  made  perfec, 
that  we  may  have  boldness  in  the  day  ot 
judgment;  because  as  he  is,  so  are  we 
in  tins  world. 

18  There  is  no  fear  in  love  ;  but  per- 
fect love  casteth  oui.  fear  ;  because  lisar 
hath  toroient.  He  that  fi-arcth  is  not 
niade  peiftrct  in  love. 

19  VVe  love  him,  because  he  first  lov- 
ed us, 

20  «  If  a  man  say,  I  love  God,  and 
haielii  his  brother,  he  is  a  liar  :  tor  he 
tluit  loveth  not  his  brnther  wl)i>ni  he 
ha'lt  seen,  how  can  he  love  God  when. 
hf  l;at!i  not  seen  ? 

21  '  And  this  commandment  have  we 
from  him.  That  he  who  loveth  God 
love  his  brother  also.

18  «  My  little  children,  let  us  not

of  barley  for  a  penny ;    and  see  thou 
hurt  not  the  oil  and  the  wine.

a  AND  the  fifth  angel  sounded, 
and  1  ?a\v  a  star  fall  from  heaven  untf 
the  earth  ;  and  to  hifn  was  given  tlie 
key  of  'he  botton-.less  pit. 

2  And  he  opened  the  bottomless  pit  ; 
and  there  arose  a  smoke  out  of  ihe  pit, 
as  the  smoke  of  a  gTeat  furnace  ;  and 
the  sun  and  the  air  v/ere  darkened  by 
reason  of  the  smoke  of  the  pit. 

3  And  there  came  out  of  the  smoke 
locusts  upon  the  earth  ;  and  unto  them 
was  given  power,  as  the  scorpions  oi' 
the  eartii  have  power. 

4  b  And  it  was  commanded  them 
that  they  should  not  hurt  the  grass  o? 
the  earth,  neither  any  green  thing, 
neither  any  tree  ;  but  only  ihos*:  men 
which  have  not  the  seal  of  God  in  their 
foreiieads. 

5  And  to  them  it  was  given  tha« 
they  should  not  kill  them,  but  that  the\ 
should  be  tormented  five  months  :  and 
their  torment  was  as  the  torment  of  a 
scorpion  when  he  siriketh  a  man. 

6  =  And  in  those  davs  shall  men  seek 
death,  and  shall  u.t  find  it ;  and  shall 
desire  to  die,  and  death  shall  ilee  from 
them. 

7  <i  And  the  shapes  of '.he  locusts  wert- 
like  unto  horses  I'lrcpai-ed  unt'.  b  tiic  : 
and  on  their  heads  were  as  it  were 
crowns  like  gold,  and  t.aeir  laces  r.cre 
as  the  faces  of  men. 


8  «  And  they  had  hair  as  'he  hair  cf 
women,  and  their  teeth  were  as  the 
teeth  of  lions. 

9  '  And  they  had  breastp'ates,  as  it 
were  breastplates  of  iron  ;  aird  the 
s  und  of  their  \»  ii^gs  ti-us  as  the  sour.d 
of  cliariols  of  many  horses  ruiining  to 
battle. 

10  And  they  liad  tails  like  unto  scor- 
pions ;  and  there  were  stings  in  their 
tails  :  and  tlieir  power  fras  to  hurt 
men  five  months. 

11  g  And  they  had  a  king  over  them, 
\ivhich  is  the  antjel   of  the  botlorriles= 

pit,  V.  hose  name  in  the  Hebrew  ton^'ue 
is  Abaddon,  but  in  the  Greek  tongue 
hath  his  name  Ap'<lIyon. 

12  h  One  woe  is  |j  past;  and,  behold, 
there  come  two  woes  more  liereafter. 

13  And  the  sixth  angel  sounded,  and 
I  heard  a  voice  from  the  four  horns  o 
the  golden  altar  v.  hich  is  b  fore  God, 

14  '  Saying  to  the  sixth  at  gel  whicl 
had  the  trumpet.  Loose  the  four  angels- 
which   are  bound   in    the  great  rivtr 

I  Euphra'es. 

I      15  And  the  four  ani^rels  were  ||  loosed, 

which  were  prepared  for  an  hour,  anc'. 

a  day,  and  a  mont!  ,  and  a  year,  foi'  h. 

slay  the  third  part  fif  men. 

16  k  And  the  number  of  the  army  of 
the  hor^enrlen  %-ere  two  hu'nlred  thou- 
sand thou.-and  :  and  I  heard  the  num- 
ber of  them. 

17  And  thus  I  saw  the  horses  in  the 
vision,  and  them  that  sat  on  them,  h-.v- 
ing  breastplates  of  fire,  and  of  jacinth 
and  brioi-toiie  :  and  the  heads  of  the 
hordes  i;:ere  <s  the  he  ds  of  lions  ;  and 
out  of  their  mouths  issued  fire,  and 
sinoke,  and  brimstone. 

18  By  these  tliree  was  the  third  part 
iif  men  killed,  by  the  fire,  and  by  the 
smoke,  and  by  the  brimstone,  vtiiicii 
issued  out  of  their  mouths. 

19  1  For  th.eir  power  is  in  their  mouth, 
and  in  their  tails  ;  fur  their  tails  --^-ere 
like  unto  serpents,  and  had  heads,  and 
with  liiem  they  do  hurt. 

20  ™  And  the  rest  of  the  men,  which 
were  nut  killed  by  these  plagues,  yet 
reperited  not  of  the  works  of  their 
hands,  that  they  should  not  worship 
devils,  and  idols  of  gold,  and  silver,  and 
bras-i,  and  stone,  and  of  wood ;  which 
n  iiher  can  see,  nor  heur,  nor  walk  :

their  iorrucation,  nor  of  then-  thefts.

deadly  wovwd  was  hc-aied. 

13  '^^  And  I  e  doeth  great  wonders,

dwell  on  the  earth.  That  they  sliould 
make  an  image  to  the  beast,  which  had 
vlie  wound  by  a  sword,  and  did  live. 

15  And  he  had  power  to  give  life 
unto  the  image  of  the  beast,  that  tiie 
image  of  the  beast  should  both  .speak, 
and  cause  that  as  many  as  would  not 
worship  the  image  of  the  beast  should 
be  killed.

sell,  save  he  that  had  the  mark,  or  the 
name  of  the  beast,  or  the  number  of

hath  understanding  count  the  number
